Rockwell Automation has introduced a new module within its famous Allen-Bradley ControlLogix system, the 1756HP-TIME, which is designed specifically for time synchronization. The launch of this module marks the further development of time synchronization solutions in redundant control systems.

The 1756HP-TIME module enables TIME synchronization in a variety of ways, including using the SET SYSTEM VALUE (SSV) instruction and PRECISION TIME PROTOCOL (PTP). Both the RSLogix V16 and V19 programming software support the implementation of this module, with the RSLogix V19 version specifically supporting PTP, a protocol for precise time synchronization over Ethernet.

When implementing a redundant control system, the 1756HP-TIME module seamlessly integrates with Rockwell Automation’s control system to provide accurate time synchronization. This not only improves system performance and reliability, but also provides strong support for Sequence of Events (SOE) solutions.

The module’s implementation documentation provides detailed guidance on how to synchronize the controller in the RSLogix V16 and V19 software and implement the SOE solution. The document also highlights how the 1756HP-TIME module works with Ethernet bridge modules (such as EN2T, EN2TR, etc.) in different versions of the RSLogix software to implement CIPSync functionality.
