Preface
Studio 5000 Environment
The Studio 5000 Automation Engineering & Design Environment™ combines
engineering and design elements into a common environment. The first element
is the Studio 5000 Logix Designer™ application. The Logix Designer application
is the rebranding of RSLogix™ 5000 software and will continue to be the product
to program Logix5000™ controllers for discrete, process, batch, motion, safety,
and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000® environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell
A
utomation® engineering design tools and capabilities. The Studio 5000
environment is the one place for design engineers to develop all of the elements of
their control system.

Overview
Allen-Bradley Motors
This user manual describes the functionality, installation, configuration, and
operation of the 1756HP-TIME module, series B, firmware revision 3.001.
The 1756HP-TIME module provides accurate time synchronization on different
terfaces by using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. The
in
1756HP-TIME module can obtain time from various sources, and provide time
synchronization on other devices by acting as a gateway between different time
synchronization methods and standards.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM542A-EN-P - September 20145
Preface
Time synchronization is accomplished by using these methods, standards, and
protocols:
• The
ControlLogix® backplane for Coordinated System Time (CST) and
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) conversion.
• Inter-range Instrumentation Group, code B (IRIG-B) standards.
• Precision Time Protocol (PTP) on Ethernet and the ControlLogix
backplane.
• Network Time Protocol (NTP) on Ethernet.
The 1756HP-TIME module provides GPS position in the form of latitude,
gitude, and altitude (LLA).
lon
The 1756HP-TIME module provides course and route information in the form
round speed (knots) with heading in the form of degrees from true north.

Chapter 1 Installation
GPS Antenna
Install the GPS antenna with a clear view of the sky (do not install the antenna
where objects can obstruct the view of the antenna to the sky). If an antenna is
installed with a limited view of the sky, the GPS receiver can have a low satellite
lock count, or be unable to obtain a lock. A limited view of the sky can cause
inaccurate time synchronization.

Use BOOTP to set the initial IP address for the 1756HP-TIME module. The
module comes from the factory with BOOTP enabled.

If the module fails or becomes inoperable, the module reboots with
factory-loaded boot software. The display informs you of the error and suggests a
method to fix the error. If there is a firmware error, use the ControlFLASH
software to restore the module to a working condition.
Before you can program the 1756HP-TIME module, the AOP for the module
must be installed. You also need admin rights for the module to view and
configure the AOP.
The installer for the AOP can be found at this link:
Each 1756HP-TIME module is programmed to work with a single Logix5000
controller.

There is no direct communication between the 1756HP-TIME module Ethernet
ports and a Logix5000 controller. If the 1756HP-TIME module resides in a
remote Logix rack, it needs to communicate through an EN2T(R) module in the
same rack.
