2. Click the Date/Time tab.
3. Check Enable Time Synchronization.

Configure a Peer Safety
Controller
You can add a peer safety controller to the I/O configuration folder of your
safety project to allow standard or safety tags to be consumed. To share safety
data between peer controllers, you produce and consume controller-scoped
safety tags.
For details on configuring the peer safety controllers and producing and
consuming
safety tags, see Produced/Consumed Safety Tags on page 148.
IMPORTANT Time synchronization is required for motion applications.
