n Time synchronization between Vnet/IP domains
If there are multiple domains, the time is synchronized between domains that belong to the same
time group.
A time group enables selection of a network time master from the domain master station
within domains that belong to the same time group. A network time master is also selected
automatically. It is not necessary for you to identify the network time master.
Vnet/IP denes time groups in the domain properties of the CENTUM engineering function on a
domain-by-domain basis. The time group is specied by using numbers 0 to 7. The time is not
synchronized for domains whose time group is 0.
The time synchronization accuracy of the network time between domains is expressed as
follows:
±5 msec (When one bus is abnormal, the accuracy may become worse than ±5 msec)
The time synchronization accuracy becomes worse in proportion to the transmission delay time
variations between domains.
