Replaced by IEC 61588-2004 (SH95292 or SS95292) Dual-logo document Abstract: A protocol to synchronize independent clocks running on separate nodes of a distributed measurement and control system to a high degree of accuracy and precision is specified. The protocol is independent of the networking technology, and the system topology is self-configuring.

P1588f
Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems Amendment: Enhancements for latency and/or asymmetry calibration
This amendment enhances support for latency and asymmetry calibration, and also provides informative text related to these enhancements. It corrects errors in the text and clarifies unclear passages.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
1588-2019
IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems
In this standard, a protocol is defined that provides precise synchronization of clocks in packet-based networked systems. Synchronization of clocks can be achieved in heterogeneous systems that include clocks of different inherent precision, resolution, and stability. The protocol supports synchronization accuracy and precision in the sub-microsecond range with minimal network and local computing resources. Customization is supported by means of profiles. The protocol includes default profiles that permit simple systems to be installed and operated without the need for user management. Sub-nanosecond time transfer accuracy can be achieved in a properly designed network.

IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems Amendment 1: Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Mapping for Transport over the Optical Transport Network (OTN)
This amendment to IEEE Std 1588-2019 adds a normative annex that specifies the mapping of PTP to the OTN; and adds an enumeration value to the network Protocol table (Table 3, in 7.4.1; and corrects errors in the text and clarifies unclear passages.
1588g-2022
IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems Amendment 2: Master-Slave Optional Alternative Terminology
This amendment to IEEE Std 1588-2019 identifies alternative terms for u201cmasteru201d and u201cslaveu201d used in implementations or PTP profiles; identifies alternative names for port state names; and identifies abbreviations for clock roles or port states.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
1588-2008
IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems
This standard defines a protocol enabling precise synchronization of clocks in measurement and control systems implemented with technologies such as network communication, local computing and distributed objects. The protocol is applicable to systems communicating by local area networks supporting multicast messaging including but not limited to Ethernet. The protocol enables heterogeneous systems that include clocks of various inherent precision, resolution, and stability to synchronize to a grandmaster clock. The protocol supports system-wide synchronization accuracy in the sub-microsecond range with minimal network and local clock computing resources. The default behavior of the protocol allows simple systems to be installed and operated without requiring the administrative attention of users. The standard includes mappings to UDP/IP, DeviceNet and a layer-2 Ethernet implementation. An Interpretation is available at http://standards-qa21.ieee.org/reading/ieee/interp/1588-2008.html
