Introduction 1 Introduction The PME GPS 0100 is a precision time server for the Schneider Electric x80 PAC platform. It provides time for network connected devices using both Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and Network Time Protocol (NTP). It provides time for direct connected devices using IRIG-B time protocol and DCF-77 time protocol.
1.2.1 Crystal Oscillator When power is applied to the PME GPS 0100, its clock will be set from a battery backed up real time clock and it will use a 2 part per million (PPM) Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) as a time base.
IP address of the PME GPS 0100 NTP server. 1.4 Serial Time Protocols The PME GPS 0100 has two serial time code outputs. One 5 VDC output and one 24 VDC output. Each output can be configured to provide an IRIG-B or DCF-77 time code.
The PME GPS 0100 operates as an Ethernet/IP DIO device to the M580 CPU. This means that the I/O data communication between the M580 CPU and the PME GPS 0100 is done by means of an Ethernet/IP data exchange across the backplane. When the module is located in the CPU rack, this data exchange happens completely across the Ethernet backplane between the CPU and the module.
2.1.5 Remote Rack Mounting Only The PME GPS 0100 may only be used in a remote Ethernet rack in a M580 HSBY system. The module may not be mounted in either HSBY CPU rack. monaghan + ENGINEERING...
CPU. 3.1 GPS Receiver The PME GPS 0100 is designed to work with a GPS 400 receiver. Connection to the receiver is made through an RJ-45 jack on the front of the module. The total cable length between the module and the receiver can be up to 1,000 ft.
3.2.3 Interfacing to BMX ERT 1604 The PME GPS 0100 has been designed to provide the time code required by the BMX ERT 1604 module. The ERT module requires either a 5 volt differential IRIG-B signal or a 24 volt DCF-77 signal.

8 Flashes Waiting for session open command. 9 Flashes Waiting for connection. o MASTER – The Master LED will be on when the PME GPS 0100 is configured as a PTP Master Clock. • Time Source o GPS – The module is receiving valid messages and 1 PPS pulses from the GPS Receiver.
The RJ-45 connector for connecting the GPS receiver has two LEDs. • RX – The green RX LED indicates that the PME GPS 0100 is receiving messages from the GPS receiver. The LED will flash every time the module receives a message and verifies that it was received without an error.
4 Adding the PME GPS 0100 to Unity Pro 4.1 Hardware Catalog The PME GPS 0100 module is supported in Unity version 8.0 and later. For Unity versions 8 through 13 the module must be added to the hardware catalog using the Hardware Catalog Manager.
Page 16
Unity uses this information to configure and communicate with the module. The DTM for the PME GPS 0100 must be manually added for Unity versions 8 through 14. This is accomplished by using the DTM Update Tool provided by Monaghan Engineering which is available for downloading at www.monaghan-...
Configuring the PME GPS 0100 with Unity Pro 5 Configuring the PME GPS 0100 with Unity Pro This example will demonstrate the steps necessary to configure a PME GPS 0100 module with Unity Pro XL V12. • The PME GPS 0100 module will be installed in the CPU rack slot 2.

Click the Update button. A screen will appear saying that the DTM library seems up to date and would you like to update it? Click Yes. After the update is complete, expand the Vendors heading and select Monaghan Engineering. The PME GPS 0100 entry should be visible.
Page 21
A window will pop up showing all the installed DTMs. Scroll down until you reach the PME GPS 0100 device by Monaghan Engineering. Highlight the PME GPS 0100 entry and press Enter or “Add DTM” to load the DTM for the PME GPS 0100 module. A window will pop up with information about the DTM.
PLC. 5.3 Link the DTM to the PME GPS 0100 Hardware After adding the DTM it is necessary to link it to the PME GPS 0100 hardware. This is done inside the DTM Browser window.

The “Identifier” must be modified to define the exact Rack and Slot occupied by the PME GPS 0100 module. In this example, the PME GPS 0100 is located in the CPU rack, Slot 2. Therefore, the Identifier must be set for “Mx80_02_PMEGPS01”. The following are the valid entries for the Identifier.
Configuring the PME GPS 0100 with Unity Pro where, XX = Slot number (range 01-11) YYY = CRA rack number (range 000 – 159) 5.4 Configure the PME GPS 0100 Module In the DTM Browser, right click on the PME_GPS_0100 and select Open.
Configuring the PME GPS 0100 with Unity Pro This screen is used to configure the parameters that are downloaded to the PME GPS 0100 at startup. Most of the selections are enumerated values that are selected by a drop-down menu. They are organized in groups by function.

Web Browser Interface 6 Web Browser Interface The PME GPS 0100 contains an embedded web server. This allows the user to display data and configure the module. 6.1 Sync Status The Sync Status page is an overview of the operation of the PME GPS 0100.
6.2 Statistics When connected to a time source the PME GPS 0100 synchronizes its clock every second. During the synchronization process the module measures the current clock error and stores this information in a database. The data is then displayed as a histogram with each bar showing the relative number of samples that fell within each group and the numbers under the bars showing the actual number of samples.
