INTRODUCTION
The current 1756HP-GPS / IRIG-OUT / IRIG-IN will be replaced by the 1756HP-TIME module.
The 1756HP-TIME module is backwards compatible (UTC/CST conversion, SOE time stamping,
IRIG-B and CST offset) and also supports 1588 PTP (new Rockwell timing standard) and NTP.
Certain image assemblies have change from the 1756HP- GPS / IRIG-OUT / IRIG-IN module to
the 1756HP-TIME module. This document serves to explain what changes are needed when
going from the 1756HP- GPS / IRIG-OUT / IRIG-IN to the 1756HP-TIME.

Below are the connection parameters for the 1756HP-TIME module:

1756HP-TIME Connection Parameters

The connection parameters must be changed to the in order for the module to establish a
connection to the Logix Controller.

Requested Packet Interval (RPI)

The 1756HP-GPS / IRIG-OUT / IRIG-IN module has a minimum RPI of 1ms.
The 1756HP-TIME module has a minimum RPI of 10ms.

If the user does not set the RPI to above the minimum RPI the module will not connect to the
Logix Controller. Both modules have a maximum RPI of 750ms.

CONFIG IMAGE
Below is the config image of the 1756HP-GPS / IRIG-OUT / IRIG-IN module:
BYTE VALUE
0 Module setup
1 RSLogix 5000 v16 used / CST Mastership

Byte 0 will setup the module to be a GPS, IRIG-IN or IRIG-OUT module as shown below:
BYTE 0 Module Setup
0 GPS
1 GPS-IRIG-OUT
2 IRIG-IN

Byte 1 is used to enable CST mastership and select if RSLogix v16 and newer is used (from v16
the time origin changed). Byte 1 = X000 000Y (binary) where ‘X’ will make the module a CST
master if set to 1 and ‘Y’ will make the module use v16 UTC time if set to 1.

Below is the config image of the 1756HP-TIME module (please refer to the user manual and
example code for explanation and UDT):

If the user needs a standard GPS module (similar to using a 1756HP-GPS module) the
Time_Config.Source must be set to 1 as shown below:

5
 Rockwell Automation Hiprom

If the user needs a GPS-IRIG-OUT module (similar to using a 1756HP-GPS-IRIG-OUT module)

the Time_Config.Source must be set to 1 and the Time_Config.IRIGBOutputEnable must be set
to 1 as shown below:

If the user needs an IRIG-IN module (similar to using a 1756HP-IRIG-IN module) the
Time_Config.Source must be set to 2 as shown below:

6

If the user needs to enable CST Mastership the Time_Config.CSTMastershipEnable must be set
to 1 as shown below:

If the user needs to enable Pre v16 time source the Time_Config.PreV16Support must be set to 1
as shown below:

INPUT IMAGE
Most of the input image is different between the 1756HP-GPS / IRIG-OUT / IRIG-IN and the
1756HP-TIME. The user will need to change the PLC code to map the new input image. Please
refer to the 1756HP-TIME module user manual and example code.

Below is the input image of the 1756HP-GPS / IRIG-OUT / IRIG-IN module:

OUTPUT IMAGE
One of the major changes in the output image is the absence of a Time Zone. The 1756HP-TIME
module provides UTC time. The user can set the time zone in the controller.

Below is the output image of the 1756HP-GPS / IRIG-OUT:

Below is the output image of the 1756HP-IRIG-IN:

Below is the output image of the 1756HP-TIME:

The Reference Position is not applicable as this is used in high-precision position applications.
The UTC offset will also not be relevant as the is used when receiving time from a IRIG time
source and output this on PTP / NTP.
