Publications Referencing Early Prototypes of IEEE 1588

The publications listed on this page describe some demonstration applications making use of the Agilent Technologies prototype clock synchronization technology. 

• "Closed Loop Control Using Ethernet as the Fieldbus", Wesley Cole and John Eidson, ISA 97 Conference Proceedings. Description: This article discusses closed loop control techniques that can make use of synchronized real-time clocks. A simple motor control system demonstrating the technique is described.
• "A Research Prototype of a Control System Based on Smart Transducers", John C. Eidson, Steven A. Siano, Stan P. Woods, ISA 95 Conference Proceedings. Description: This paper describes a process control demonstration (controlling the properties of a biological growth media) using synchronized clocks and a time script based programming language.
• "The Design of Distributed Measurement Systems Based on IEEE1451 Standards and Distributed Time Services", Jeff Burch, John Eidson, Bruce Hamilton, 2000 IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (IMTC2000) Proceedings. Description: This paper describes the use of time services built on synchronized clock in conjunction with measurement objects defined in the IEEE1451 standards in implementing measurement and control systems.
