Radio clock

All SICLOCK products that receive time via an aerial are termed radio clocks. The SICLOCK products SICLOCK DCFRS, SICLOCK GPSDEC, SICLOCK GPS1000 and packages include radio clocks. To give a more precise definition, the name can be preceded by the radio signal received:

GPS radio clock for GPS, and

DCF radio clock for DCF77

SICLOCK DCFRS

Industrial version of the SICLOCK DCFRS radio clock with integrated DCF77 receiver.

SICLOCK GPS1000

Radio clock as GPS receiver

SICLOCK GPSDEC

GPS complete package with radio clock SICLOCK GPSDEC decoder.

SICLOCK TC100 Configuration Tool

Web-interface for assigning parameters and searching the archive of a

SICLOCK TC100 device via an Internet browser.

TAI

See Atomic time (TAI).

Time synchronization

Time synchronization by means of a central plant clock synchronizes all plant components, programmable controllers and computers precisely with the refe- rence time of the central plant clock.

Time synchronization of plants

The term "time synchronization of plants" is always used to express the fact that a number of components in a plant are synchronized with products in the SICLOCK range.
