IMS - LANTIME M500: Time and Frequency Synchronization in Rail Mount

Chassis
Modular Time- and Frequency Synchronization System for Industrial Applications in DIN Rail Chassis

The full-featured DIN railmount package has one power supply slot, a clock module slot, a CPU slot and two
slots for additional input and output modules. Both, wide range AC and a 20-60 V DC power supply model
are available.

Key Features
- Optimized space usage
- Synchronization of NTP and SNTP compatible clients
- Web-based status and configuration interface (Demo), and console-based graphical configuration utility
- IMS - Intelligent Modular System platform
- Up to 2 PTP (IEEE 1588-2008) modules
- Hot Plug
- Arbitrary combinations of modules
- Meinberg's LANTIME time server is available with a variety of additional output options: IRIG Time
Code, frequency synthesizer and programmable pulse outputs illustrate some of the many expansion
options for your NTP server
- Up to 8 additional LAN ports

Description
The M500 railmount chassis offers the following slot types:

* IMS-PWR High efficiency power supply (AC and DC versions available)

* IMS-CLK Reference clock module

* IMS-MRI IRIG, 1PPS, 10MHz input module:

* IMS-ESI Input references for 2048kHz, 2.048MBit/s and variable frequencies:

MRI and ESI slots are also available for a variety of output signals:
Pulses, Frequencies, Time Codes, Serial time telegrams) and of course more network interfaces (IEEE-1588, NTP
ports)

* IMS-CPU Central processor module providing NTP / SNTP time synchronization and management and configuration
interfaces

* IMS-CES Expansion slot for Error output (standard configuration) and for further additional output signals (PPS,
timecode...):

Rail Mount NTP Time Server for large Networks

With up to 6,000 NTP requests per second, the system is able to provide time for hundreds and thousands of NTP
clients. The LANTIME module supports the following protocols: IPv4, IPv6, NTP / SNTP (v2, v3, v4), HTTP (S), SSH,
Telnet, SNMP (v1, v2, v3), FTP, SFTP, DHCP/DHCPv6. For each system, up to 99 logical network interfaces are
available (99 IPv4 and 99 IPv6 addresses).
Scalable NTP Time Server System
All modules are hot-plug capable and the modules can be configured via the central web interface (from the CPU
module). Almost infinite number of combinations of input and output modules are available to meet almost any
synchronization task. Because of simple extension by upgrading the system with new modules the scalability of the
M500 system is ensured.
Slots for Input Signals:
IMS-MRI:Standard reference inputs
IMS-ESI: Extended reference inputs
Both of these reference input interfaces may also be used as I / O slot.

Front Panel
The front panel of LANTIME M500 integrates the familiar LC-Display with 4x16 characters and the well known LANTIME
menu panel with 4 directional and 4 function buttons. This allows for a simple and fast on-site configuration of the main
parameters. Hundreds of configuration options for the LANTIME CPU and the IMS input and output modules can be
changed using the powerful web interface.

Characteristics
Reference Options The following reference sources can be used to synchronize the system:

* GPS - Global Positioning System

* GLONASS - Russian GNSS

* GALILEO - European GNSS

* BeiDou - Chinese GNSS

* PZF - German DCF77 longwave radio signal

* PTP/IEEE1588 - Precision Time Protocol

* NTP - Network Time Protocol

* SyncE - Synchronous Ethernet

* Timecodes - IRIG/AFNOR timecodes (AM/DCLS)

* PPS -Pulse Per Second

The priority of all input signals can be freely configured in addition to a bias value and a
precision level specification for each source.

Display LC-Display, 4 x 16 characters

Control elements Eight push buttons to set up basic network parameters and to change system settings.

Status info Four bicolor LEDs showing status of:

- reference time
- time service
- network
- alarm
