1.3 Time synchronization via NTP protocol
For the time synchronization via Ethernet NTP (Network Time Protocol) is the standard. Corresponding time
servers are used in computer networks, but are also available for free via Internet. Using NTP it's possible to hold
all devices on a common time base.
Two different NTP servers may be defined. If the first server is not available the second server is used for trying to
synchronize the time. If no time synchronization is desired, to both NTP servers the address 0.0.0.0 should be
assigned.
Activation
The synchronization via NTP server will be active only, if the 'Synchronization RTC' is activated by means of the
associated checkbox (see above).
2. IEC61850 application
The SINEAX CAM with IEC 61850 support is a
measurement device, which is able to process signals of
conventional current and voltage transformers. It's not
suitable to be used with electronic transformers in
accordance with the standard IEC 61850-9-1, where a
merging unit sends a continuous stream of sampled values
of all currents and voltages to the IED (intelligent electronic
device).
The main application of the device is therefore the
modernization of substations and process control systems,
maintaining the already installed transformers.
3. Information about the logical nodes
The full server configuration contains 22 nodes.
A detailed description of all implemented nodes is given in
the document „CAM61850.MICS.V1.2.090520.PDF"
stored on the distributed CD.
Restrictions concerning measurement validity arising from
monitoring different power system configurations are given
on the following pages.
Modifications of the server structure can be performed by
means of the Web interface of the device or an IEC61850
configuration tool. This is described in more detail in the
document "CAM61850.PAR-E.V1.0.110215.PDF" on the
CD.
All modifications will be stored in the ICD file of the device.
