This page shows the EtherCAT Distributed Clock configuration parameters. The distributed clock can enable all the slave devices to have the same time. The first slave device with the distributed clock enabled is the clock master. The clock of the clock master synchronizes the clocks in other slave devices and master.

This page includes the following component:

  • Additional correction for synchronized IO (microseconds)—specifies an additional correction to ensure that all slave devices receive their process data.

The following figure describes the distributed clock-related properties.
