Parameter assignment

9.1Connecting external synchronization

The external synchronizations can be connected to SICLOCK TC100 via Ethernet as an NTP server and/or as a radio clock via point-to-point connections.

The prerequisite for operation is at least one external synchronization. Additional external synchronizations can serve as substitute synchronizations in the event of a fault, see Redundancy (Chapter 2.6).

GPS and DCF77 radio clocks, cable distribution installations, atomic clocks and other signal sources can serve as external synchronizations.

9.1.1Radio clocks via terminals

A radio clock can be connected, see also Terminal assignment (Chapter 15.1).

Monitoring

The input signal of the radio clock can be monitored with the parameter /Inputs/Input 1/Monitoring (0.20.01), and an alarm or warning output after expiry of the monitoring time.

Status display

See Connecting external synchronization (Chapter 6.3).

Serial formats

The parameter /Inputs/Input 1/Framing (0.20.03) shows the automatically detec- ted framing for serial formats.

There are entries for baud rate, data bits, parity and stop bits.
