Time Synchronization

Time Synchronization	ION 7500 / ION 7600 User’s Guide

These fields appear in the Devices Advanced Properties screen for Ethernet devices. Serial devices are configured via the Serial Site advanced properties.

Time synchronization lets you synchronize the internal clocks of all networked meters and devices. Once synchronized, all data logs have timestamps that are relative to a uniform time base. This allows you to achieve precise sequence-of- events and power quality analyses. To synchronize clocks, use ION software to broadcast time signals across the network.

Refer to the technical note Time Synchronization & Timekeeping for more information on implementing time synchronization for your system.

Enabling or Customizing Time Synchronization

1.Launch the ION Management Console.

2.From the System Setup Pane, select Sites or Devices.

Select Sites if you want to customize a particular serial, modem, or Ethernet Gateway site.

Select Devices if you want to customize an individual Ethernet device.

3.Right-click in the main window and select Properties.

4.Right-click inside the display window and select Advanced Properties.

The fields for enabling or customizing time synchronization are shown below.

Use these fields on the Site Advanced Properties screen to enable time synchronization or set custom intervals for any device in any Serial Site or Ethernet Gateway Site.

The Property Description area explains the purpose for each field. The default time synchronization interval of 3,600 seconds (displayed in milliseconds) is acceptable for most ION installations.

NOTE

You need appropriate permissions to configure the meters on your network. Refer to the technical note ION Security for details on software and meter security.
