2. Selection
2.1. Selection criteria
This chapter describes the selection of the components needed to build a time
stamping application and provides a solution list.
Each automation control project has specific requirements and constraints, such as
the size of the plant, control complexity, and project budget. The time stamping
resolution is a very important requirement of the project. The requirements and
constraints defined in the project specification are used as guidelines to select the
time stamping solution. There are three criteria for the time stamping application
selection:
• Time resolution
• System scale (complexity)
• Cost
2.2. Selection steps
According to the selection criteria, the time stamping solution is developed in four
steps:
• Selecting a time stamping method and mode
• Selecting a PAC platform
• Selecting an I/O architecture
• Selecting a CPU task mode
2.2.1. Selecting a time stamping method and mode
Two different time stamping methods can be used, time stamped by module or time
stamped by program.
