How to Configure the Synchronization through the System bus/BCE
Introduction
You can use a BCE network card to synchronize the time over the system bus.
If only one device is being configured, always use "access point 1".
With the option "Access point 2", you can configure the following tasks:
● Use a second access point with a CP1613 or CP1623 card
● Synchronize two system buses over a type of "bridge"
● Synchronize two system buses as simultaneous masters
Requirement
● Only one BCE network car can be used for time synchronization on an OS.
● The ISO log must be installed and activated for the network card.
● The BCE network card can be used for up to eight connections.
● The time synchronization via a BCE network card cannot be used redundantly.
● A 1 - 10 second grid must be set on the external time transmitter.
● The following target address is used for Multicast with a BCE/CP1612 network card:
Address 09-00-06-01-FF-EF.
● Broadcast must not be used.
