Time synchronisation between TSX-Premium using FIPWAY

Dear Sirs.

I have a FIPWAY (copper, not optical) network with up to 30 nodes (Modicon TSX-Premium, Unity platform) which has one of them at the correct time. This PLC will work as a time master and have to redistribute time to the other nodes in order to obtain an accouracy better than 10 msec. Does anyone know the way to obtain it?

Thanks in advance.

The system words SW51..SW53 are a way to have a 1 sec accuracy.

An alternative way to do it anyway is to send the exact time some sec before and then validate it for synchronization (via a output contact or telegramme)

The best answer is probably to use NTP (Network Time Protocol) available with the TSXETYxxx modules ... it's not with Fipway but with Ethernet.
