TIME SYNCHRONISATION
In modern protection schemes it is necessary to synchronise the IED's real time clock so that events from different
devices can be time stamped and placed in chronological order. This is achieved in various ways depending on the
chosen options and communication protocols.
●
Using the IRIG-B input (if fitted)
●
Using the SNTP time protocol (for Ethernet IEC 61850 ve DNP3 OE)
●
By using the time synchronisation functionality inherent in the data protocols

DEMODULATED IRIG-B
IRIG stands for Inter Range Instrumentation Group, which is a standards body responsible for standardising
different time code formats. There are several different formats starting with IRIG-A, followed by IRIG-B and so on.
The letter after the "IRIG" specifies the resolution of the time signal in pulses per second (PPS). IRIG-B, the one which
we use has a resolution of 100 PPS. IRIG-B is used when accurate time-stamping is required.
The following diagram shows a typical GPS time-synchronised substation application. The satellite RF signal is
picked up by a satellite dish and passed on to receiver. The receiver receives the signal and converts it into time
signal suitable for the substation network. IEDs in the substation use this signal to govern their internal clocks and
event recorders.

The IRIG-B time code signal is a sequence of one second time frames. Each frame is split up into ten 100 mS slots
as follows:
●
Time-slot 1: Seconds
●
Time-slot 2: Minutes
●
Time-slot 3: Hours
●
Time-slot 4: Days
●
Time-slot 5 and 6: Control functions
●
Time-slots 7 to 10: Straight binary time of day
The first four time-slots define the time in BCD (Binary Coded Decimal). Time-slots 5 and 6 are used for control
functions, which control deletion commands and allow different data groupings within the synchronisation strings.
Time-slots 7-10 define the time in SBS (Straight Binary Second of day).

IRIG-B IMPLEMENTATION
Depending on the chosen hardware options, the product can be equipped with an IRIG-B input for time
synchronisation purposes. The IRIG-B interface is implemented either on a dedicated card, or together with other
communication functionality such as Ethernet. The IRIG-B connection is presented by a connector is a BNC
connector. IRIG-B signals are usually presented as an RF-modulated signal. There are two types of input to our
