ValueTextDescription
1P2P DELAYPeer-to-peer delay
2OFFDelay off

In Factory Fit Ethernet / SI-Ethernet firmare V01.03.00.00 onwards, this parameter is no longer supported. PTP Delay Measurement is always Peer-to-Peer.

This parameter selects the delay measurement. 0 = End-to-end; 1 = Peer-to-peer, 2 = OFF

End-to-end is the delay mechanism between slave clocks and the master clock.

Peer-to-peer delay mechanism provides not only the PTP event transit time information, but also provides the corrections for the propagation delay of the link connected to the port receiving the PTP event message.

OFF disables the PTP messages so that the module will not respond to a PTP delay request message or initiate a PTP delay request message and will therefore not synchronise with the master.


Parameter4.11.016  PTP Sync Rate

CodingRW

This parameter controls the rate at which PTP Sync frames are sent. the message rate is determined by raising 2 to the power of this parameter. E.g the default value here of -2 results in four sync messages per second.


Parameter4.11.017  In sync window length
Short description 
Minimum3Maximum255
Default20Unitss
Type8 Bit User SaveUpdate RateRead on reset
Display FormatStandardDecimal Places0
CodingRW, BU

Duration that the jitter Synchronisation Jitter From Grandmaster (4.11.006) must be below the jitter threshold for before the in sync flag Module Synchronised Flag (4.11.008) is set.

For a system the duration depends upon the number of IEEE1588 capable master on the network. To use lower values here the number of devices who are capable of acting as a synchronisation master must be kept as low as possible by setting Preferred Sync Master (4.11.001) to 0 on all interfaces except those who may be master.

This defines the allowable network delay (in milliseconds) for the Easy Mode synchronous transmit cyclic links to arrive at their destination.

In Factory Fit Ethernet / SI-Ethernet firmare V01.03.00.00 onwards, the default delay has been changed to 3ms (previous value 0ms). If the old default of 0ms is encountered, this is automatically changed to 3ms as the new minimum is 1ms).
