Features Common to Compact 5000 I/O Digital Modules   Chapter 2
Use CIP Sync Time with Fast
I/O Modules
The following Compact 5000 I/O standard modules use CIP Sync™ for time 
stamps and scheduling:
• 5069-IB16F
• 5069-IB6F-3W
• 5069-OB16F
CIP Sync is a CIP™ implementation of the IEEE 1588 PTP (Precision Time 
Protocol). CIP Sync provides accurate real-time (Real-World Time) or 
Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) synchronization of controllers and 
devices that are connected over CIP networks. This technology supports 
highly distributed applications that require timestamping, sequence of events 
recording, distributed motion control, and increased control coordination.
The 5069-IB16F, 5069-IB6F-3W, and 5069-OB16F modules are CIP Sync 
slave-only devices. There must be another module on the network that 
functions as a master clock. For more information on how to use CIP Sync 
technology, see the Integrated Architecture® System and CIP Sync 
Configuration Application Technique, publication 
IA-AT003.
You can use fast Compact 5000 I/O digital modules to capture time stamps 
and schedule outputs while providing the following advances:
• Fast I/O modules have much higher precision than other modules.
• Inputs are timestamped by point, so multiple inputs can be configured 
for COS without losing time stamp data.
• CIP Sync is system-wide, so time stamp and schedule values are 
consistent across all modules in the system. 
For example, if you use time stamps on a 5069-IB16F module to 
schedule outputs on a 5069-OB16F module, the controller, input 
module, and output module are not required to reside in the same local 
system. The I/O modules can reside in a remote I/O system.
• Output modules use all 64 bits of the time stamp to schedule, so there 
are no limits on schedule ranges.
