A common sense of time among all the elements of a distributed
measurement and control system allows the use of new techniques for
the solution of problems with complex synchronization requirements
or arising from the interaction of many sensors and actuators. Such
a common sense of time may be accomplished using IEEE Standard for
a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked
Measurement and Control Systems (IEEE 1588-2002) to synchronize
real-time clocks incorporated within each component of the system.
IEEE 1588, published in November 2002, is a technology new to
the engineering community expanding the performance capabilities of
Ethernet networks so that they become relevant for measurement and
control; this monograph embodies the first unified treatment of the
associated technology, standards and applications. Readers
unfamiliar with IEEE 1588 will gain understanding of the context of
the technology it represents and, from three chapters of case
studies, its role in a variety of application settings.
To engineers implementing synchronization within their systems
Measurement, Control, and Communication Using IEEE 1588 provides
detailed discussion of the complex features of the standard.
Together with the essential material on best practice and critical
implementation issues, these provide invaluable assistance in the
design of new applications.
