EtherNet/IP and ControlLogix Time Synchronization Characteristics
The 1756-TIME provides GPS-referenced timing information for ControlLogix systems requiring coordinated time data across controller and I/O architectures. The module integrates Ethernet and IRIG-B interfaces to distribute synchronized timing information through the control system.
The module operates through the ControlLogix backplane interface and occupies a single chassis slot. Its I/O density scaling capability allows time synchronization functions to be integrated into existing ControlLogix configurations without additional external timing hardware.
Firmware flash compatibility between the 1756-TIME module and the associated ControlLogix controller platform must be verified during system configuration to maintain correct time synchronization operation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What external timing source does the 1756-TIME use for synchronization?
A: The module uses Global Positioning System (GPS) technology through its integrated antenna connection for synchronized time reference.
Q: Which communication interfaces are available on the 1756-TIME?
A: The module provides Ethernet, IRIG-B, and antenna connection terminals for time synchronization functions.
Q: How much backplane current does the module require?
A: The specified backplane current is 1200 mA at 5 VDC and 2.5 mA at 24 VDC.
Field Installation Guidelines
Install the 1756-TIME in an available ControlLogix chassis slot according to the system hardware configuration requirements. Confirm proper module seating and backplane connection before applying power.
Connect the GPS antenna, Ethernet, and IRIG-B wiring using appropriate cable routing practices. Separate communication wiring from high-current power conductors and switching circuits to reduce electrical interference.
Use proper grounding and shielding methods for signal cables where required by the installation environment. Verify terminal assignments and cable connections before commissioning.
Before system operation, confirm GPS signal acquisition, synchronization status indicators, controller configuration, and module communication status through the ControlLogix programming environment.
