For the usage of these signals around the experimental station, long RF cables from the accelerator timing station, divider modules and delay modules must be deployed. These installations need a lot of cost and require a lot of efforts to adjust the timing by experts. To lower these costs and efforts, the revolution frequency, which is ~209 kHz at the SPring-8 storage ring, and tag information distribution system has been studied based on a high precision time synchronization technology over a network. In this study, the White Rabbit* (WR) technology is adopted. The proof of concept system has been built, which consists of a master PC, a slave PC and two WR switches. The master PC detects the zero-address signal and distributes the time stamps with tag information to the slave PC. Then the slave PC generates the ~209 kHz signals synchronized with the target bunch by adding the offset time by software. The measured one-σ jitter of the output signals from the slave PC has been achieved less than 100 ps.
