The Allen-Bradley 1756-TIME is a versatile ControlLogix time synchronization module that utilizes GPS technology for precise network time alignment across various interfaces. It supports synchronization through IRIG-B standards, Precision Time Protocol (PTP) on Ethernet and ControlLogix backplane, as well as Network Time Protocol (NTP) for UTC and CST conversion. Designed for seamless installation into any 1756 ControlLogix chassis slot, this module is powered via the ControlLogix backplane and features dual Ethernet connectors with Rockwell Automation's dual-port switch technology, an antenna SMA connector for GPS integration, and an IRIG-B BNC connector for network configuration. Operated with Studio 5000 Logix Designer, the 1756-TIME offers critical functionalities for time-based event management and data analysis, with easy setup through the BOOTP/DHCP server for initial IP configuration. Status indicators including PPS, SPS, SYNC, and OK LEDs ensure clear operational feedback and time source locking awareness, making it an essential component for accurate data report generation and system troubleshooting in a complex control network environment.
