Abstract
Industrial devices and edge compute platforms are configured to synchronize their internal clocks to provide a common sense of time across application and data acquisition tasks, thereby allowing for an inherent common understanding of time across the devices and data sets. The industrial devices can synchronize their internal clocks using Precision Time Protocol (PTP) or IEEE 802.1AS synchronization. The accurate time stamping achieved by this synchronization can yield more accurate analysis of data sets acquired from multiple devices, and greater fidelity and synchronization between a digital twin of an automation system and the physical system represented by the digital twin.
