What happens when a ControlLogix processor is synchronized?

When a ControlLogix processor is synchronized, it shares a time reference and data among processors. This synchronization allows multiple processors to operate in a coordinated manner, ensuring that they have a consistent view of the system state and can coordinate their actions effectively. In a control system with multiple processors, synchronization enhances reliability and consistency, which is crucial for applications requiring precise timing or coordinated actions across various control loops.

This process involves distributing time stamps and other critical data to ensure that all participating processors operate on the same timeline. As a result, any changes or inputs can be acknowledged and acted upon in a unified manner, reducing the chances of conflicts or discrepancies in system operations.
