Input Module Features   Chapter 3
Sequence of Events Per 
Point Timestamping
Timestamping registers a time reference to a change in input data. CIP Sync™ is 
used for timestamping.
The 5069-IB16F and 5069-IB6F-3W DC input modules offer submillisecond 
timestamping on a per point basis. Time stamp values have ±10 μs accuracy 
and ±1 ns resolution.
You can use CIP Sync to establish a sequence of events occurring at an input 
module point by timestamping the input data. To determine a sequence of 
events, you must perform the following:
• On the Module Definition dialog box in the Logix Designer application 
project, set the Input Data parameter to Timestamp Data.
• Enable COS for the input point where a sequence occurs, and disable 
COS for all other points on the module.
You can enable COS in the following ways.
For more information on Timestamping, see 
page 78.
To see where to set the Timestamping options, see the following:

Location in Logix Designer Application Action
Module Properties dialog box > Points category > 
Ptxx subcategory
Check the input transition type where you need to 
latch short duration pulses.
For example, if you need to latch short duration 
pulses for Off to On transitions, check Off -> On 
Input Transition.
Module tags One or both of the following:
• Change the C.Ptxx.CaptureOffOnEn tag to 1.
• Change the C.Ptxx.CaptureOnOffEn tag to 1.
