This stand-alone tool is included on the RSLogix 5000 v. 16 CD. Using RSLinx to
browse to multiple controllers, this tool synchronizes multiple wall clocks at a user-
defined rate in a variety of controllers, including PLC-5, SLC 500s, MicroLogix, and
all Logix5000 controllers (except the SoftLogix controller which typically obtains the
time from the clock in the computer where the controller is installed).
