Monaghan Engineering ProTime SER

 
The module communicates in Modbus® protocol over an RS-232 or RS-485 connection. The ProTime module also contains a 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection, which supports Modbus® TCP/IP. 
 
The ProTime module combines the functions of an External Time Reference interface device and a Sequence of Events Recorder device into one module.
 
A ProTime SER  module can receive its time synchronization from another SER module, an IRIG-B time code signal or a direct interface to a GPS300 GPS receiver. The ProTime SER can also act as a time sync master to synchronize other SER modules. Details >
