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.
