CIP Sync Master Timeout

What does CIPSyncTimeout mean?

This boolean tag indicates that the module was previously synchronized with an IEEE 1588 master clock, but synchronization has been lost due to a timeout. A tag value of '1' means the module is now using its local clock and may drift from the last known synchronized time, potentially affecting time-critical operations.

• Loss of network connection to the IEEE 1588 time master.
• Failure or communication issues with the IEEE 1588 time master itself.
• Network communication delays, congestion, or failures preventing CIP Sync updates to the module.
• Module or time master CIP Sync configuration mismatch or error.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify the presence and operational status of the IEEE 1588 time master device on the network.

2. 2

   Check network connections and infrastructure (e.g., Ethernet cables, switches, routers) between the module and the time master for faults.

3. 3

   Examine network traffic and module diagnostics for any communication issues related to CIP Sync in Studio 5000 Logix Designer.

4. 4

   Ensure the module and time master have consistent and correct CIP Sync configuration settings in Studio 5000 Logix Designer.
