Prosoft A-TSM/B Time Sync Module

The Time Sync module provides Precision Time Protocol (PTP - Grand

Master) and NTP Time services. This enables precision time

synchronization for Logix Controllers and HMI systems. It can also

provide GPS position and velocity data.  The module uses an on-board

GPS receiver to provide accurate time and position information.

Because the module is stand-alone and connects to various devices over

an Ethernet network the module can be placed as close as possible to

the antenna position removing the need for costly low-loss coaxial cables

that was traditionally needed to connect the GPS antenna to the module.

The on-board GPS receiver also provides velocity and odometer reading

allowing the user to implement the module in various vehicle and tracking

applications. The GPS accuracy information provided allows the

user/controller to make calculated decision when looking at the position,

velocity, or odometer information.

A built-in webserver provides detailed diagnostics of system configuration

and operation, including the display of GPS time, position, and velocity

without the need for any additional software.

Features

• Support for Legacy PLC5/SLC time synchronization

• 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) master

• 1588 PTP Network Transport UDP or IEEE802.3

• Network Time Protocol (NTP) master or slave

• High accuracy time synchronization (onboard GPS receiver)

Configuration

• The Slate Configuration Utility software is used for configuration and

troubleshooting of the module. The stand-alone configuration utility allows

users to define the setup and configuration of the Time Sync module,

connections with controllers and devices.
