A RTU560 product line unit can be synchronized with the stan-

Alarm
dard time of the long-wave transmitter DCF77 using the module
560RTC02. The RTU560 reads the time and date from the mod- serial
ule 560RTC02 and synchronizes its internal clock to the stan- RS232
dard time by means of a minute pulse. The use of the module
560RTC02 ensures that indications from several terminal units RTU System Bus
are synchronized, when they include time information.

Characteristics
Reliable receipt of the long-wave DCF 77 transmitter is guaran-
teed within an area of approx. 1500 km from Frankfurt/Main in
West Germany and thus in many parts of Europe.

If the receipted level is adequate the module 560RTC02 syn-

chronizes to the standard time and receives the date and time
within three minutes.

The communication unit (CMU) synchronizes itself to the DCF 77

by the leading edge of the minutepulse MIN1. The CMU reads
the time and date via the RTU system bus.

In case of radio interferences or DCF 77 drop outs the clock

on the 560RTC02 will continue using a highly accurate quartz
clock. An internal condenser allows the 560RTC02 to continue
the control of the clock (approx. 150 h), even when the station
is switched off. After power up the RTU560 has thereby a valid
time at once.

If the DCF 77 signal fails for more than 2.5 h or as long as the
560RTC02 is not synchronized, the alarm relay contact closes.

In addition to the minute pulse output for synchronization of the

RTU560 there is one further minute pulse outputs which is inter-
faced to the module via optocoupler (MIN2).

At each minute the time, date and status can be read out at the
serial data output interface RS232.

On the front panel of the real-time clock 560RTC02 there are

four light emitting diodes for indicating the following operating
statuses:
ST: Summary alarm of the board
FR: Free-Running
560RTC02 is not synchronized with the DCF 77
CD: Carrier Detect
Signal strength of the receiver level; optimal positioning of the
antenna to a maximum receiving is possible
MN: Minute pulse
flashes with each minute pulse
