only with the same type or with an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Warning
Risk of explosion and release of harmful substances!
For this reason, do not throw lithium batteries into open fires, do not solder on the
cell body, do not open, do not short circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat
above 100°C, dispose of correctly, and protect against direct sunlight, dampness
and dew.
EGB directives
Modules containing electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs) can be identified by the
following label:
Strictly follow the guidelines mentioned below when handling modules which are sensitive
to ESD:
• Before working with modules with ESDs, you must discharge all your personal static
(e.g. by touching a grounded object).
• All devices and tools must be free of static charge.
• Always pull the mains connector before you install or remove modules which
are sensitive to ESD.
• Handle modules fitted with ESDs by their edges only.
Modern automation systems are made up of a multitude of computers, controllers
and systems, that exchange data with one another. In order to operate such systems in real time, it is absolutely essential to synchronize the clock times of all the
components involved. This particularly applies to error tracing if event messages
are time stamped, and cause and effect have to be identified by a reliable chronological order.
As a central plant clock, SICLOCK TC100 supplies the various plant components
with a precise, reliable clock time, which is usually obtained from one or more
external synchronizations with official or statutory times of day, usually GPS or
DCF77 radio clocks.
SICLOCK TC100 distributes the time solely via Ethernet.
Note
Use one single device as the central clock for the whole plant, which supplies the
clock time to all the other devices.
Exception: Redundant operation of the central plant clock
The following diagram shows an application example of a SICLOCK TC100, with
a SICLOCK GPS1000 as the radio clock and an NTP server as an additional
external synchronization.
SICLOCK TC100 can be externally synchronized to the applicable, statutory national time or GMT in order to automate or minimize manual interventions, such as
daylight saving time changes and leap seconds.
External synchronizations can be GPS or DCF77 radio clocks, servers (e.g. the
time signal from an NTP server), SICLOCK TC400 devices, SICLOCK TC100
devices or other signal sources. They are connected to the RADIO CLOCK of the
device.
The Ethernet port supports NTP servers as external synchronizations.
Possible RADIO CLOCKS are:
• SICLOCK GPS1000
• SICLOCK GPSDEC
(SICLOCK GPSDEC has been discontinued, please use SICLOCK GPS1000)
LOCK DCFRS
SIC
ವ
Third-party products can be connected passively via TTY. The following protocols
are supported:
The SICLOCK TC100 has a range of functions for generating the valid plant time
from the external synchronization. This includes the option of setting times zones
and the parameterizable generation of daylight saving.
Time security through protected synchronization
If a discontinuity of longer than five seconds occurs in the external synchronization, the protected synchronization is activated, and the synchronization is not
executed for safety reasons.
Time security through microstep mode
A time difference between the external synchronization and the device, such as
can occur as the result of a brief loss of loss of radio contact or switching to a substitute synchronization, is run down automatically in microstep mode that is imperceptible to the operation of the plant. No time jump occurs.
Description
More detailed information and the options for parameter assignment for protected
synchronization and microstep mode are described in the chapter
Synchronization (Chapter 9.3.2).
Note
Parameterize the plant time at one single point within the synchronization hierarchy, ideally on the central plant clock.
2.5Commissioning
Commissioning can be subdivided into the following steps:
1. Mounting (Chapter 5)
2. Connection (Chapter 6)
3. Assignment of an IP address to the device
Parameter assignment and operation of the device (Chapter 8)
4. Parameter assignment (Chapter 9)
With few exceptions, the settings are made with the Configuration Tool, see
Configuration Tool (Chapter 7).
Up to four time servers can be run on the SICLOCK TC100 for external synchronization via NTP. However, they must all be in the same IP network.
Radio clocks cannot be connected redundantly to a SICLOCK TC100.
The order of priority among the external synchronizations (radio clock or NTP server), and thus the redundancy behavior, can be set with parameters, see
Redundancy (Chapter 9.1.3).
Redundant SICLOCK TC100 central plant clocks
A number of SICLOCK TC100s can be run as redundant time servers in a single
network.
You will find more detailed information in the chapters Configuration Tool
(Chapter 7) and Parameter table (Chapter 10).
You can find more information on redundancy in
„Application Note 01
08“ on http://www.siemens.com/siclock under "FAQ".
The display and LEDs on the front panel show the current operating state. The
keypad can be used for the basic operation of the device. A Web-based Configuration Tool is available for more extensive configuration options, see
Configuration Tool (Chapter 7).
SICLOCK TC100 is designed for stationary use in weather-proof locations in an
industrial environment.
The operating conditions surpass the requirements of DIN IEC 60721-3-3.
• Class 3M3 (mechanical requirements)
• Class 3K3 (climatic requirements)
General notes on operation
Caution
The device is approved for operation in closed rooms only. The guarantee is void
if this stipulation is ignored.
Condensation
When transporting the device at low temperatures, ensure that no moisture gets
on or into the device. This also applies if the device is subjected to extreme changes in temperature.
Commissioning
Allow the device to slowly adjust to room temperature before commissioning the
device. However, do not expose the device to direct heat radiation. In the event
of greater temperature differences, harmful condensation can be avoided by leaving the device in its transport packaging.
If condensation develops, wait 12 hours before you switch on the device (for a
temperature difference of 20°C). For greater temperature differences, the waiting
time is correspondingly longer.
Avoid extreme ambient conditions. Protect your device against dust, moisture and
heat. Refer to Technical data (Chapter 13).
Use in residential areas, and operation in the public network
If you use the SICLOCK TC100 in residential areas or in the public network, you
must ensure that it complies with the limit value class B according to EN 55022
with regard to the emission of radio interference.
Note
This is a Class A system. The equipment may cause RF interference in residential
areas or the public network. In this case, the operating company may be required
to take appropriate measures.
The following measures are recommended to ensure the interference complies
with limit value class B:
• Install the SICLOCK TC100 in grounded control cabinets / control boxes
• Use filters in the supply lines
Usage with additional measures
SICLOCK TC100 must not be used in the following exemplary cases without
additional measures:
