BAD PYRMONT, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Meinberg Radio Clocks today presented their newest industrial time and frequency synchronization server. The highly compact, rail-mount LANTIME M400/GPS model is one of the worlds most powerful Network Time Servers and IEEE 1588(PTP) Grandmaster Clocks for the substation and process automation environment. The broad range of output options, including pulse and frequency outputs, IRIG timecode outputs, serial RS232 and RS422 interfaces enables Meinberg to deliver a versatile and flexible solution to almost all synchronization requirements - in two ultra compact form factors.

The M400 is one of the worlds most compact GPS synchronized PTP Grandmaster Clock and supports the following PTPv2 (IEEE 1588-2008) features: Layer 3 (IPv4)/Layer 2 (Ethernet) communication, Multicast/Unicast mode as well as both End-to-End (E2E) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) delay measurements. It supports the current draft version of the IEEE 1588 Power profile ("IEEE Standard Profile for Use of IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol in Power System Applications") that is expected to become a part of IEC 61850. The final version will be supported by a free software update. As per today the new LANTIME network time server will be capable to synchronize IEC 61850 networks with (S)NTP clients and can offer IRIG timecode as well as 1PPS (Pulse-per-Second) outputs to IEDs and SCADA systems.

The new M400 offers one module slot in a 105x189x146mm housing, the M400/XL model (105x189x166mm) has two slots for even more outputsmost of them available as both electrical or FO interfaces.

A wide range of synchronization sources can be ordered: GPS, IRIG, PZF(DCF77), WWVB and MSF receivers are available. The MRS model offers additional possibilities, including NTP, PPS, 10MHz and PTP.

Used as a PTP Slave Clock, the MRS version allows to generate all output signals (IRIG, PPS, Programmable Pulses, Frequencies, NTP). This provides a convenient way to use cutting edge IEEE 1588 network synchronization while still being able to generate legacy signals that are required by existing and non-network/PTP capable equipment.

The M400/GPS can be ordered with more than one Ethernet interface. In the standard chassis, up to 5 network ports are available for connecting to different subnets or to provide redundant network connections. The XL chassis is available with 9 (nine!) Ethernet ports, this is the highest network port density available in a network time server appliance.
