Time sync hub provides synchronization

July 31, 2024

Modern power monitoring solutions rely on accurate data to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and ensure business performance. The key to accurate data is having all monitored devices aligned to one common time source. Time-aligned data ensures that the power system’s analysis is based on solid and reliable information. The Time Sync Hub provides time synchronization for power system devices such as Sequence of Events Recorders (SERs), power meters, protective relays, transfer switches, UPS’s, PLC’s and other devices used across the power distribution system. This ‘Hi-Res’ data can be used for commissioning, equipment testing and event reconstruction in the case of a power outage or loss.

Both Time Sync Hub models (TSH-100 / TSH-200) receive time input over an Ethernet network using PTP (Precision Time Protocol) or NTP (Network Time Protocol) to provide accurate time and date information essential for time synchronization. Both Time Sync Hub modules output highly accurate time reference signals using standard time protocols (PTP, NTP, IRIG-B, DCF77, 1per10, PPS, ASCII) throughout a substation, campus, or entire enterprise. The TSH-200 adds the ability to receive time input from the Global Navigational Satellite System (GNSS) via a bullet-style GPS antenna and time input from standard time protocols (IRIG-B, DCF77).
