»The Master Clock for Networks«
The Net Master Clock NMC is a master clock, developed especially for network environment.
It is able to control self-setting MOBALine or IRIG-B / AFNOR slave clocks and is used as an accurate NTP time reference (Time Server) for computer systems. The NMC can be synchronized by a time signal receiver (DCF 450 or GPS 4500) and/or by NTP time servers (LAN / Internet). On the RS 485 line self-setting slave clocks can be operated and monitored.
By the DCF current loop output other devices (e.g. master clocks) can be synchronized. The Net Master Clock is equipped with 4 alarm inputs to monitor other connected devices. Alarms are signaled by a relay, with SNMP traps or by e-mail.
Example: NMC e.g. as a master clock for monitored slave clocks
