4.13 Time Synchronization
Time tracking in a SIPROTEC
®
4 device can be implemented using:
G DCF77 Radio Receiver (Time Signal from PTB Braunschweig),
G IRIG-B Radio Receiver (Time Signal from the global positioning satellite (GPS) sys-
tem),
G signals via the system interface from, for example, a substation control system,
G radio clock using a system-specific synchronizer box,
G minute impulses on a binary input.
Time signal generators are connected via a 9-pin D-subminiature port on the back
panel of the device.
Setting of the time synchronization is done exclusively with DIGSI
