EKOSync 1588 PTP TIME SERVER I. FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS Description EKOSync 1588 PTP Time Server provides sub-microsecond accuracy time information for synchronizing energy distribution subsystem intelligent electronic devices, and proceeding according to IEEE 1588 v2 time protocol. Product includes adjustable hold-over times for discontinuities with GPS communication, and compensation for antenna reception distortions.
II. OPERATION DESCRIPTIONS Precise Time Synchronization Precision Time Protocol (PTP), included in IEEE standard 1588 was originally designed to provide timing for critical industrial automation. PTP identifies two types of clocks, masters and slaves. A clock EKOSync 1588 User Manual rev 3.10...

NTP / SNTP in the EKOSync 1588 The EKOSync 1588 can act as an NTP or SNTP server, and is intended to be an NTP time server. The EKOSync 1588 synchronizes to GPS to provide accurate timing signals, and NTP time signals are published through the clock Ethernet port.
FREQ The EKOSync 1588 has one Frequency out port which produces 5-10-20-25MHz. ALARM RELAY Connect the Sync indication relay to the alarm circuit if required. (C = Common, NO = Normally Open, NC = Normally Closed) Example; The relay alarms when the antenna problems or poor sky view.
