IEEE 1588-Based Synchronization System for a Displacement Sensor Network

TLDR
This paper deals with a displacement sensor network that is built over Ethernet and synchronized according to IEEE 1588, and attention is focused on the IEEE1588 implementation.
Abstract
Distribution of precise time reference in an Ethernet network allows the implementation of distributed measurement systems, overcoming the limitations of a complex architecture. This paper deals with a displacement sensor network that is built over Ethernet and synchronized according to IEEE 1588. Measurement devices share the same time reference, enabling accurate calculation of cross-derived quantities (multidimensional speed and acceleration). In this paper, a description of the sensor architecture is given, and attention is focused on the IEEE 1588 implementation. In particular, the proposed low-cost system does not use any dedicated synchronization hardware, but it can reduce the deviation from time reference down to 20 .
