INTRODUCTION

This quick start guide provides an basic overview of the installation, operation, and diagnostics of the
Aparian Time Sync module. The Time Sync module provides high accuracy time synchronization across
traditional Ethernet networks using 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) as well as Network Time
Protocol (NTP). The module is also capable of writing time information directly to Allen-Bradley
MicroLogix, SLC500 and PLC5 devices, as well as any Modbus-TCP slave device. The Time Sync module
can also operate as a Modbus TCP slave where a Modbus TCP Master can read the relevant time data
from the Time Sync module. The Time Sync module also provides GPS position and velocity data using
the on-board GPS receiver. The Time Sync module is a stand-alone device allowing it to serve a wide
variety of platforms.
