  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TIME-SYNCHRONIZED COMMUNICATION
    Publication number: 20190207694
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for publishing time-synchronized information. In one embodiment, a system may include a time interface configured to receive a common time signal and a network interface configured to transmit a plurality of data packets using a network. A publishing subsystem may be configured to cause the system to publish at least one data value according to a schedule and the common time signal. A processing sequence number subsystem may be configured to generate a processing sequence number to be included in the plurality of data packets and to reset the processing sequence number at a fixed interval based on the common time signal. A data packet subsystem may be configured to generate a plurality of data packets comprising a respective processing sequence number and the at least one data value.
    Type: Application
