The 8100 series from Vepac Electronics consists of fully modular time reference systems that support the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and IRNSS/NavIC, and also NTP, PTP and various other time sources. These offer precise and reliable time synchronisation at extremely competitive prices, and are particularly well suited for critical infrastructure applications.
The 8100 product series time reference systems have been designed for mission-critical applications with high requirements in terms of flexibility, availability, security and the support of a wide variety of time synchronisation standards commonly used in public infrastructure, railway technology, air traffic control, power utilities, digital smart grids and industry automation. The compact and modular industrial-grade system design facilitates easy spare part management and minimum mean time to repair (MTTR). The modularity of the system also ensures security of investment if the requirements for the system should increase or change in the future.
The system supports both single and dual/redundant power supplies (PSU) to ensure higher availability. Power supplies are available for DC input voltages 24 V DC (18–36 V DC),48 V DC (36–76 V DC),110 V DC (60–160 V DC), wide range DC input voltages 19–75 V DC, and wide range AC/DC input voltages 85–264 V AC (50/60 Hz)/125–250 V DC. The DC voltage power supplies feature redundant power inputs for connection of two power sources to a single power supply. In the version with redundant power supplies, the available power supplies can be combined as required.
Up to six extension slots are available for time domain controller boards (time signal input from time source), service provider boards (time signal output/distribution to customer application), and management controller boards.
A variety of time service provider boards is available for:
• Network time synchronisation using Network Time Protocol (NTP/SNTP), SIMATIC NET SINEC H1 Time Datagram or IEEE 1588-2019 Precision.
• Time Protocol (PTP) with support for IEC 61850-9-3:2016 profile for power utility automation and IEEE Std C37.238-2017 power profile.
• IRIG-B and DCF77 signal output (demodulated/modulated).
• Programmable cyclic pulse (PPS, PPM, PPH).
• Serial time datagram hopf Standard, IEC-103, ABB Melody/Freelance, Trimble TSIP, SAT1703/SICAM RTU.
• Signal distribution via electrical or fibre-optic signal output.
