1.  DESCRIPTION 

1.1 

Introduction 

 

RT430 - GPS Grandmaster Clock is a clock referenced to GPS satellites, whose main application is to be a 

source of temporal synchronization signals in different formats and  protocols to synchronize  internal clocks 

of equipment and systems based on digital processing. 

It  has  high  accuracy  (100  ns)  and  signal  stability,  even  in  situations  where  there  is  loss  of  GPS  satellites. 

Provides  temporal  synchronization  for  applications  as  synchrophasor  measurement,  traveling  wave  fault 

location, and other applications. 

The timing information presented on the front display of the RT430 can be referenced local or UTC time and 

can be modified by the DST rules defined by the user. 

It supports the following protocols sync time: 

 

PTP  (Precision  Time  Protocol)  according  to  IEEE1588  standard,  eliminating  delay  from  message 

processing which pass in other devices in the network; 

 

NTP/SNTP; 

 

IRIG-B004 (Demodulated); 

 

IRIG-B124 (Modulated); 

 

DCF77; 

 

Serial Datagrams through the RS232 and RS422/485 serial ports. 

This User Manual is structured as follows: 

Chapter 1

 presents the description of the RT430, its applications, technical characteristics and presentation 

of the manual. 

Chapter 2

 shows how the RT430 should be installed considering the power, cable connection, sync outputs, 

etc. 

Chapter  3

 

shows  the  communication  mechanisms  to  access  monitoring  and  configuration  interfaces  of  the 

RT430. 

Chapter  4

  describes  how  the  RT430  should  be  configured  according  to  the  options  parameter  of  timing 

sources and network parameters. 

Chapter 5

 shows  how to operate  the  RT430, describing the local  interface access and status  indicators for 

operation and remote monitoring. 

Chapter 6

 describes concepts and procedures to maintain the RT430. 

Appendix A  

presents the format of the signals that compose the standard IRIG-B timing. 

Appendix B

 

presents the concepts of standard PTP synchronization (IEEE1588). 

Appendix C

 presents the format of the synchronization signals based on Serial datagrams.
