Time Service tab
The Time Service tab specifies the extent to which time synchronization services will be
executed by the master or in the case of a subnet by the node station in this network. Time
synchronization for TIM modules is described in the tab of the same name in the properties
dialog of the TIM (refer to the section
Setting TIM module parameters (Page 24) "Setting TIM
module parameters").
