ESD guidelines
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:
• Always discharge your body's static electricity before handling modules which
are sensitive to ESD (for example,
by touching a grounded object).
• All devices and tools must be free of static charge.
• Always pull the mains connector and disconnect the battery before you install
or remove modules which are sensitive to ESD.
• Handle modules fitted with ESDs by their edges only.
Modern automation systems consist of a variety of computers, controllers and
systems that exchange data with one another. For real-time operation of such
plants, it is essential that the times of all components are synchronous. This
applies especially for error tracing, when event messages receive a time stamp
and when cause and effect have to be identified through a reliable chronological
sequence.
As plant central clock, SICLOCK TC 400 supplies the various plant components
with the exact and reliable time, which is obtained from one or more external synchronizations with an official or legal time, usually GPS or DCF77 radio clocks.
The time is distributed via Ethernet, and also via point-to-point outputs.
Note
Use only one device as plant central clock to supply the time to all components
throughout the plant.
Exception: redundant operation of the plant central clock.
The following figure shows a connection example of the SICLOCK TC 400 to a
SICLOCK GPS1000 as radio clock and an NTP server as an additional external
synchronization.
SICLOCK TC 400 can be matched to the local official time or GMT via external
synchronization in order to automate or restrict manual actions, such as daylight
saving time switchovers and leap seconds, to a minimum.
External synchronizations can be GPS or DCF77 radio clocks, servers (e.g. time
signal from an NTP server), further SICLOCK TC 400 devices or other signal
sources. They are connected to RADIO CLOCK 1 or RADIO CLOCK 2 or to one
of the four Ethernet ports on the device.
NTP servers are supported as external synchronization on the Ethernet ports.
Possible radio clocks to RADIO CLOCK 1 and RADIO CLOCK 2:
• SICLOCK GPS1000
• SICLOCK GPSDEC
• SICLOCK DCFRS
Third-party products can be connected via TTY (passive). The following protocols
are supported:
Description
• Demodulated DCF77
• Serial:
Further information
Linking the external synchronization (Section 9.1)
Various functions are available in SICLOCK TC 400 in order to generate the time
valid for the plant from the external synchronization. This includes setting options
for time zones as well as the parameterizable daylight saving time.
Time assurance through protected synchronization
If a discontinuity of more than 5 s occurs in the external synchronization, the protected synchronization is activated and, for safety reasons, the synchronization
not performed.
Time assurance through microstepping mode
A time difference between the external synchronization and the device, which can
occur through a temporary radio failure or switchover to a substitute synchronization, is automatically cleared unnoticeably in microstepping mode for the plant
operation. There is no inconsistency in the time.
Further information and parameterization options for protected synchronization
and the microstepping mode are described in Section Synchronization
(Section 9.3.2).
Note
Only parameterize the plant time at one location within the synchronization hierarchy, ideally at the plant central clock.
2.5Commissioning
The commissioning can be divided into the following steps:
1. Installation (Section 5)
2. Connecting (Section 6)
3. Assigning IP address on the device
Parameterization and Operation on the Device (Section 8)
4. Parameterization (Section 9)
With a few exceptions, the settings are made with the configuration tool, see
Configuration Tool (Section 7).
Up to two radio clocks and up to four time servers can be operated on the
SICLOCK TC 400 for the external synchronization.
The priorities of the external synchronizations and therefore the redundancy
behavior can be set via parameters, see Redundancy (Section 9.1.3).
Redundant SICLOCK TC 400 plant central clock
A SICLOCK TC 400 can be operated via various ports on a redundant network
and several SICLOCK TC 400 can be operated as servers on one network.
For further information, refer to Chapters Configuration Tool (Section 7) and
Parameter Table (Section 10).
Redundant control of time receivers (output redundancy)
Description
At least two SICLOCK TC 400 are used for an output redundancy. With the appropriate parameterization, OUTPUTs 1 and 2 of the two devices can each be connected redundantly with the other.
For further information, refer to Sections Redundant point-to-point connec-tions (Section 6.4.2) and OUTPUT 1 and 2 redundant (Section 9.2.4).
The front panel shows the current mode in the display and with LEDs. The device
can be operated directly via the keypad. A Web-based configuration tool is available for a wide range of configuration options, see Configuration Tool
(Section 7).
SICLOCK TC 400 has been designed for weather-protected, stationary operation
in an industrial environment.
The operating conditions surpass the requirements according to DIN IEC 607213-3:
• Class 3M3 (mechanical requirements)
• Class 3K3 (climatic requirements)
General information about 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 forms
on or in 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. Do
not place the device near heat radiation. With large differences in temperature,
harmful condensation can be avoided by leaving the device in the transport packaging.
If condensation occurs, wait at least about 12 hours before you switch on the
device (for 20° C temperature difference). The waiting period is extended accordingly for greater temperature differences.
Avoid extreme ambient conditions. Protect your device against dust, moisture and
heat. For further information, see Chapter Technical Data (Section 13).

The external synchronizations can be linked via Ethernet as NTP server and/or
as radio clock via point-to-point connections to the SICLOCK TC 400.
Prerequisite for operation is at least one external synchronization. Additional
external synchronization can be used as substitute synchronizations if a fault
occurs, see Redundancy (Section 2.6).
External synchronizations can be GPS or DCF77 radio clocks, cabled distribution
systems, atomic clocks or other signal sources.
Further information
Synchronization (Section 9.3.2).
9.1.1Radio clocks via terminals
Only two radio clocks can be connected at the same time, see also Terminal
assignment (Section 15.1).
Monitoring
Status display
Serial formats
Certain redundancy mechanisms enable an automatic switchover to the second
radio clock when a fault occurs, see Redundancy (Section 9.1.3).
The /Inputs/Input 1/Monitoring (0.20.01) parameter for radio clock 1 or the
/Inputs/Input 2/Monitoring (0.21.01)
parameter for radio clock 2 can be used to
monitor the input signal of the radio clocks and after expiry of the monitoring time,
an alarm or a warning output.
See Connecting the external synchronization (Section 6.3).
The /Inputs/Input 1/Framing (0.20.03) parameter displays the automatically
detected framing for serial formats.
There are entries for baud rate, data bits, parity and stop bits.
Four IP addresses of NTP servers can be assigned for SICLOCK TC 400 as NTP
client.
The servers are polled regularly and, on the basis of a strict selection strategy, a
preferred server is selected.
For the strategy when a server fails, see Redundancy (Section 2.6).
NTP client
You can activate the client service with the /NTP Client/NTP Client (0.18.01)
parameter.
IP address of the NTP servers
Four IP addresses of the NTP servers can be assigned with the /NTP Client/NTP
Server List[4] (0.18.02) parameter. Address 0.0.0.0 means that no server has
been entered.
Parameterization
DNS names are not supported.
Current NTP server
The /NTP Client/Active Server (0.18.03) parameter displays the currently
selected NTP server. Address 0.0.0.0 means that no server has been entered.
Monitoring the servers
The /NTP Client/Monitoring/monitor server (0.18.04) parameter can be used to
set up the monitoring of the NTP servers.
9.1.3Redundancy
The preference when an external synchronization fails depends on the setting of
the /Redundancy/Redundancy (0.09.10)
• "Master (prefer radio clocks to NTP)" setting
− RADIO CLOCK 1 is always accepted.
− RADIO CLOCK 2 is used when RADIO CLOCK 1 is not available.
− NTP is used when RADIO CLOCK 1 and RADIO CLOCK 2 are not avail-
able.
parameter:
• "Slave (prefer NTP to radio clocks)" setting
− RADIO CLOCK 1 is used when NTP is not available.
− RADIO CLOCK 2 is used when NTP and RADIO CLOCK 1 are not avail-
The following options are available for the linking of the radio receivers:
• Ethernet link via NTP server
• Ethernet link via SIMATIC method
• OUTPUTs 1 to 3 via terminals (direct point-to point-connection to SICLOCK
TC 400)
The following section describes the parameterization options:
9.2.1NTP server service
The NTP server is available on all four Ethernet ports and supports the any/unicast and multicast modes in accordance with RFC2030.
Any/unicast (standard mode)
This mode is used, for example, by PCs and is available globally for all ports.
The parameter entry /NTP Server/NTP Server/operation (0.16.01)
vates the NTP server in any/unicast mode. The setting options "off" and "only if
synchronized" are also possible.
Conditional operation is possible with the setting "only if synchronized". The
server service only functions if the device is externally synchronized.
Multicast
This mode must be set explicitly for each subnet.
You can set multicast mode for up to four subnets with the /NTP Server/Multicast[4]/Multicast[x]/mode (0.16.02) parameter
The parameter entry "Multicast address" specifies the multicast IP address to be
used, e.g. 192.168.2.255".
Setting options for the parameter entry mode:
• off
• 10 s – standard operation, i.e. the coded time does no include time zones
• 60 s – standard operation, i.e. the coded time does no include time zones
= "on" acti-
9-78
• 10 s with local time – for receivers that do not have a calendar
• 60 s with local time – for receivers that do not have a calendar
The parameter entry "Multicast address" specifies the multicast IP address to be
used.
The four Ethernet ports support the SIMATIC method with four protocols:
• PCS7-compatible mode
• S5-compatible mode
A parameter is available for each Ethernet port.
Parameterization
• /SIMATIC Method/Ethernet 1 (0.15.01)
• /SIMATIC Method/Ethernet 2 (0.15.02)
• /SIMATIC Method/Ethernet 3 (0.15.03)
• /SIMATIC Method/Ethernet 4 (0.15.04)
Mode
The parameter entry /SIMATIC Method/Ethernet 1/mode (0.15.01) sets the send
clock between 0 s, 1 s and 10 s.
Send condition
The parameter entry /SIMATIC Method/Ethernet 1/send condition (0.15.01) specifies whether the signal should always be output or only if synchronized.
Destination address
The parameter entry /SIMATIC Method/Ethernet 1/destination address (0.15.01)
specifies the send address of the SIMATIC method. Typically the broadcast
address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF is set.
Three parameterizable outputs are available on the terminals:
Output signal
Inverted
Pretrigger
• /Outputs/Output 1 (0.12.01)
• /Outputs/Output 2 (0.13.01)
• /Outputs/Output 3 (0.14.01)
parameter as current or voltage signal
parameter as current or voltage signal
parameter as RS422 signal
The following output signals can be set via the parameter entry "Signal to output":
• DCF77 with local time
• DCF77 with UTC
• Pulse per second
• Pulse per minute
• Serial telegram
See Output telegram (for OUTPUT 1 to 3) (Section 9.2.5).
You can invert the signal with the parameter entry "Inverted".
The parameter entry "Pretrigger" is used to set how many nanoseconds before
the second change the output should switch. With that, line delays can be compensated.
Conditional output
The parameter entry "Conditional output" specifies whether the signal should
always be output or only if synchronized. The required setting for the redundant
configuration of the outputs is described in OUTPUT 1 and 2 redundant
(Section 9.2.4).
A redundant point-to-point connection can be implemented with two SICLOCK TC
400 devices. Both devices must be synchronous. Typically, this is ensured by
device 2 using device 1 as external synchronization (e.g. device 2 as NTP client
and device 1 as NTP server).
See also Redundancy (Section 2.6) and Redundant point-to-point connec-tions (Section 6.4.2).
The output for OUTPUT 1 or 2 of device 1 is set to "only if synchronized", the output for OUTPUT 1 or 2 of device 2 to "send unconditional".
Example:
OUTPUT 1 of both devices is to be operated redundantly.

If the device 1 – device 2 connection is faulted, the time
receiver receives the signal from both devices. There is
a lack of definition in the accuracy of the external synchronization which is usually in the µs range and can
be ignored.
Large inaccuracies can occur when an external synchronization also supplies a faulty signal.
If the output signal is defined as a serial telegram, you can specify the settings for
the data transfer with the /Outputs/Output Telegram (0.19.01)
Format
The parameter entry /Outputs/Output Telegram/format (0.19.01) offers the following telegram formats for selection:
• Meinberg compatible (including time zones)
• Meinberg compatible (not including time zones)
• NMEA (0183/ZDA)
Baud rate
You can set the following values with the parameter entry /Outputs/Output Telegram/baud rate (0.19.01):
1200 Bd, 2400 Bd, 4800 Bd, 9600 Bd, 19200 Bd, 38400 Bd, 57600 Bd, 115200 Bd

Data width
You can specify the number of data bits with the parameter entry /Outputs/Output

7 bits or 8 bits
Parity
You can specify the parity with the parameter entry /Outputs/Output Telegram/parity (0.19.01):
none, even, uneven

You can specify the number of stop bits with the parameter entry /Outputs/Output
Telegram/stop bits (0.19.01):
1 bit or 2 bits
Important general settings are described in the following, e.g. the time adjustment, the synchronization response, etc.
You can find a list of all setting options in Parameter Table (Section 10).
9.3.1Time management
Note
Only make changes to the plant time at one central location, ideally at the plant
central clock.
Setting the time manually
Parameterization
Optionally, you can set the time in the device via one of the following parameters:
• /Time/Local Time (0.09.04)
• /Time/UTC Time (0.09.02)
• /Time/TAI Time (0.09.04)
Time zone
The /Time/Time Zone (0.09.06) parameter is used to specify the offset from UTC
to local zone time without possible daylight saving time.
Note
If the external synchronization already contains a time zone (e.g. DCF77 contains
CE/CEDST), this is already taken into account when received.
If the time zone is not defined by the external synchronization (e.g. serial telegram), no further correction is made for the time zone.
Difference between TAI and UTC
You can read out the difference between atomic time TAI and world time UTC in
seconds with the /Time/Advanced/Atomic Time TAI/Offset From UTC To TAI
(0.09.01) parameter.
The daylight saving time changeover is automatically performed by the device at
the parameterized times.
/Time/Advanced/Daylight Saving Time (0.09.07)
Note
The preset changeover times correspond to the present valid regulations of the
European Community.
With the setting "enable = no", the time changeover is suppressed and the plant
is operated with standard time.
The calendrical regulation for the daylight saving time changeover can be specified worldwide via a parameter.
Leap seconds
Use the /Time/Advanced/Leap Seconds[20] (0.09.05) parameter to specify the
calendar of leap seconds.
9.3.2Synchronization
Synchronization status
You can read out different information about the current synchronization status
via the /Synchronization/Status of Synchronization (0.09.09)
parameter
parameter.
Protected synchronization
If a discontinuity of more than 5 s occurs in the external synchronization, the protected synchronization is activated. The synchronization is suppressed and an
alarm issued which is present as long as there is a discontinuity in the external
synchronization.
The pending synchronization suppression can be ignored once and the "Protected synchronization" alarm cleared with the parameter entry /Synchronization/Advanced/Protected Synchronization/ignore /clear alarm (0.09.12) = "yes".
Notice
This initiates an unconditional synchronization to the external time and an inconsistency in the time distribution to the plant can result.
If required, disconnect the active external synchronization first or delete the server
address for the NTP client operation from the /NTP Client/NTP Server List[4]
(0.18.02) parameter.
If during operation a difference occurs between the input synchronization (e.g.
radio clock) and the device up to a tolerance of some seconds, that difference will
not be set immediately, since that would cause an inconsistency in the time distribution.
This difference is corrected with microstepping which is significantly below the
time resolution of typical pants and therefore remains unnoticed in the plant operation. This may take up to several hours.
The correction of the time difference with microstepping can be interrupted once
with the parameter entry /Synchronization/Advanced/Microstepping/ignore/cancel (0.09.13) = "yes".
This initiates an immediate synchronization to the external time resulting in an
inconsistency in the time distribution to the plant.
Note
Avoid inconsistencies in the time distribution to the plant.
The Ignore microstepping command is suitable, for example, for the first input
synchronization during the commissioning.
Monitoring
The /Synchronization/Advanced/Monitoring (0.09.14) parameter specifies
whether the device should output an alarm or a warning when there is no external
synchronization.
9.3.3Display
You can change the language and the display of the time with the /Display/View
(0.10.01) parameter. The time can be displayed as UTC, local time or TAI.
9.3.4System
You can specify or change the password for the standard protection with the /System/Authorization For Standard Protection (2.06.02) parameter.
You can reset the parameters to the factory settings with the /System/Reset
(0.06.04) parameter. Exceptions are parameters such as network addresses,
authorizations, etc.
You activate the monitoring of the module temperatures with the parameter entry
/Environment/Advanced/Temperature/monitoring (0.24.01)
You can set the following values:
• Alarm
• Warning
• No monitoring
The current module temperature is displayed in the parameter entry /Environment/Status/temperature (0.24.02).
9.3.6Battery
You can specifically disconnect the battery when storing and therefore significantly increase the battery life with the parameter entry /Environment/Advanced/Battery/disconnect (0.25.01).
.
During power up, the SICLOCK TC 400 checks once whether the battery has
been disconnected after at least 30 minutes of operation. If required, the battery
is then automatically connected and a message output.
Notice
If the battery is disconnected, hardware time and archives are lost when the
power supply for the SICLOCK TC 400 is switched off.
This command may only be performed by qualified personnel.
