Description

2.2External synchronization

SICLOCK TC100 can be externally synchronized to the applicable, statutory nati- onal time or GMT in order to automate or minimize manual interventions, such as daylight saving time changes and leap seconds.

External synchronizations can be GPS or DCF77 radio clocks, servers (e.g. the time signal from an NTP server), SICLOCK TC400 devices, SICLOCK TC100 devices or other signal sources. They are connected to the RADIO CLOCK of the device.

The Ethernet port supports NTP servers as external synchronizations. Possible RADIO CLOCKS are:

SICLOCK GPS1000

SICLOCK GPSDEC

(SICLOCK GPSDEC has been discontinued, please use SICLOCK GPS1000)

SICLOCK DCFRS

Third-party products can be connected passively via TTY. The following protocols are supported:

Demodulated DCF77

Serial:

Meinberg format (time-zone dependent)

Meinberg format (time-zone independent)

NMEA (0183/ZDA)
