5.6 Data string Master/Slave
With master/slave data strings slave systems can be synchronized to an accuracy of ± 0,5 msec
with the time data of the master system. In the data sting the time difference to UTC is also
transmitted.
After the year the time difference in hours and minutes is transmitted. The transmission is in
BCD. The time difference may be up to ± 11.59 hrs.
The operational sign
appears as the highest bit in the hours.
Logic "1" = local time before UTC
Logic "0" = local time after UTC
Example :
90.00
time difference + 10.00 hrs.
01.30
time difference – 01.30 hrs.
81.30 time difference + 01.30 hrs.
