Successful synchronization:
For accurate synchronization, the corresponding channels should be parameterized using
identical filter settings. The delay is not automatically corrected. Filter delays are given in the
datasheet. After booting and successful synchronization, the system LED shows green. If
synchronization is disturbed, or not yet established, the system LED shows orange.
System LED
Example: MX840
Time format used:
Basis: 1.1.2000
Time stamp: 64 bit
32 bit seconds
32 bit fractions of a second, resolution (1/2
32
)
These time stamps are appended to the measured values.
There are several synchronization methods to choose from (also see Fig. 2.1 page 21):
S synchronizing via FireWire
S synchronizing via EtherCAT (CX27)
S synchronizing via NTP (Network Time Protocol) with FireWire
S synchronizing via NTP without FireWire
