1. PREFACE
1.1. INTRODUCTION TO THE TIME SYNC MODULE
This manual describes the installation, operation, and diagnostics of the Aparian Time Sync
module. The Time Sync module provides high accuracy time synchronization across
traditional Ethernet networks using 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) as well as Network
Time Protocol (NTP).
The module is also capable of writing time information directly to Allen-Bradley MicroLogix,
SLC500 and PLC5 devices, as well as any Modbus-TCP slave device.
The Time Sync module also provides GPS position and velocity data using the on-board GPS
receiver. The Time Sync module is a stand-alone device allowing it to serve a wide variety of
platforms.

1.2. FEATURES
The Time Sync module provides a cost-effective solution for high accuracy time
synchronization across a range of applications. The Time Sync module also provides the user
with position and velocity information using GPS.
Mode Description
Time
The module is configured to
only
u
se the GPS
constellation
for best time accuracy.
Position
The module is configured to use GPS
, SBAS and GLONASS
satellite constellations to provide the most accurate
positioning information.
Custom This mode allows the user to select the constellations that
are needed for the required application.
Table 1-1. – Modes of Operation
The Time Sync module is configured using the Aparian Slate application. This program can be
downloaded from www.aparian.com free of charge. Slate offers various configuration
methods, including a controller tag browser.
Hereafter the Time Sync module will be referred to as the module.
The module is a stand-alone device allowing it to operate across various platforms. The
module can also seamlessly connect and integrate with Rockwell Automation’s Allen Bradley
equipment. The module can operate in either a Logix “owned” or standalone mode. In stand-
alone mode the module can be configured and connected to an Ethernet network to
accurately synchronize devices using 1588 PTP and NTP. With a Logix connection the input
and output assemblies will provide timing, positioning, and diagnostic information which will
be available in the Logix controller environment in addition to the PTP and NTP services.
The module uses an on-board GPS receiver to provide accurate time and position information.
Because the module is stand-alone and connects to various devices over an Ethernet network
the module can be placed as close as possible to the antenna position removing the need for
costly low-loss coaxial cables.
The on-board GPS receiver also provides velocity and an odometer reading allowing the user
to implement the module in various vehicle and tracking applications. The GPS accuracy
information provides the user/controller with quality metrics for the position, velocity, and
odometer information.

A built-in webserver provides detailed diagnostics of system configuration and operation,
including the display of GPS time, position, and velocity, without the need for any additional
software.
1.3. ARCHITECTURE
The figure below provides an example of the typical network setup.

The module can synchronize various devices across various platforms over traditional
Ethernet using 1588 PTP and NTP.

Revision 1.14
With position, velocity, and odometer information various tracking and positioning
applications can be implemented.
Figure 1.3. - Example of a typical position and velocity application
Using the accuracy information provided calculated decisions can be made for various
positioning applications including collision warning and avoidance systems.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1. MODULE LAYOUT
The module has three ports at the bottom of the enclosure as shown in the figure below. The
ports are used for Ethernet, GPS antenna and power. The power port uses a three way
connector which is used for the DC power supply and the earth connection.
The GPS antenna connector provides connection to the provided GPS antenna.
NOTE: The module is supplied with a GPS antenna. Various other GPS antennas
can be used Care must be taken to ensure they comply with the receiver
antenna specifications.
The Ethernet cable must be wired according to industry standards which can be found in the
additional information section of this document.
