PTP [IEEE1588] Grandmaster Clock Module
The PTP [IEEE1588]Grandmaster Clock Module generates and distributes precisely synchronised time across Ethernet networks.
-
Uses Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to IEEE-1588 v2
-
Distributes time to remote PTP clients and slaves over a network
-
Advanced hardware-generated timestamps
-
GPS input source
-
Provides ±100 nanosecond timing accuracy (locked to GPS)
-
M211 Internal disciplined oscillator provides stability if input source interrupted
-
Precision Time Protocol (PTP), described in the IEEE 1588-2008 version 2 standard, allows for extremely precise synchronization of networks.
An absolute timing accuracy of better than 100 nanoseconds to UTC can be achieved using this protocol as it uses hardware-generated timestamps.
This provides significant improvements on the accuracy of network-distributed time over legacy Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers.
The PTP Grandmaster Clock Module is available as an option on the M210 & M211 Timing Systems.
