4. Engineering application
4.1. About the typical time synchronization systems
There are many forms of time synchronization systems, the typical forms include the basic,
master-slave mode and run-standby mode, the section will give brief introduction for them,
contents here refer to Specifications of time synchronization system for power system.
4.1.1. Basic time synchronization system

A basic time synchronization system consists of a master clock and signal transmission medium for
time comparing of devices and system receiving time transmission, refer to Fig. 4-1. According to
demand and technical requirement, the master clock can have the interface to receive wired time
reference signals from the upper level of time synchronization system.

4.2. CSC-196 Configuration scheme
4.2.1. General description of the configuration scheme

A CSC-196 device can form many time synchronization system freely by configuring various
signal receiving cards, such as the basic, master-slave mode and run-standby mode. The section
will introduce typical configuration schemes.
In the section, interconnection of master and slave clocks adopts optical fiber. Because optical
fiber connection has advantages of anti-interference, long distance transmission, and stable
transmission delay, so interconnection of master and slave clocks interconnection with
optical fiber is recommended.
The CSC-196 master-slave clocks interconnection adopts IRIG-B signals, so only one optical port
or electric port is used for input and output signal of each channel.
Difference between the basic and the master-slave mode time synchronization system locates
whether the master clock connects the slave clock or not. The configuration scheme are similar.
Limited by the length of the document, only configuration of the master-slave mode system is
introduced here, while it becomes a basic time synchronization system if the slave clock is
removed.
4.2.2. Software configuration of the input channel

For normal operation of the clock, software configuration of the input channel must correspond to
hardware configuration of the signal receiving card, software configuration of the CSC-196 input
channel can be modified by the configuring serial port, the configuring parameters are saved in the
FLASH of the device, power-down is not lost (refer to Appendix A for configuration
modification).
Configuring format of the input channel is “1XX2XX”，“1” refers to the signal receiving card,
“2” refers to the sub-signal receiving card.
“X” is for input configuration, there are four kinds:
1） N: No input signal.
2） A: Wireless time reference signal, usually from GPS or BD OEM board.
3） B: From input signals of the master clock, viz. local wired time reference signal, all
27
IRIG-B time comparing code.
4） C: Input signals from the time synchronization network, viz. remote wired time reference
signal, all are IRIG-B time comparing code.
Detailed input signal type (such as BD OEM board, GPS OEM board, IRG-B) and input signal
polarity in input channel configuration information, CSC-196 can identify type and polarity of
input signals automatically and make relative treatment.
If there is no sub-signal receiving card in the casing, the configuration format should be
“1XX2NN”.
If a signal receiving card supports only one channel of input (such as G4, G2 and J1, etc. ), change
the second “X” to “N” corresponding to this card, viz. “1XN2XN”.
If configuration information contains A, it refers to the master clock, the others are slave clocks;
working logics of the master and the slave clock are different, refer to Appendix F for details. An
obvious difference in application between the master and the slave clock locates: when all external
input time reference signals of a system are abnormal, the master clock can keep punctual
automatically, but all slave clocks follow output of a master clock, by this way, coherence of
outputs from multi clocks in the station in punctual state.
The clock output and has highest priority, and keep synchronization with the normal input
source.
Priority of input signals: A type input > B type input > C type input
In same kind inputs, the signal with hardware interface listing ahead has higher
priority.
When the jumper J15 of the main signal receiving card is open, the device will enable default
configuration “1AN2NN”, viz. the device connects only one channel of input time reference
signal, here input channel configuration information in the FLASH is invalid.

4.2.8. Connecting to time synchronization network

CSC-196 can support to connect the time synchronization network, the signal interfaces are all for
35
IRIG-B (DC) time comparing code, within the above mentioned configuration schemes, the
optical fiber input interface remained in the signal receiving card can be used to receive wired
time reference signal (time accuracy must reaches ±1us) from the time synchronization network,
during input channel configuration, configure the relative input channel to “C”.
4.2.9. Connecting method of client-side equipments

According to Appendix F, in the run-standby time-transfer system, if the GPS/BD in a master
clock is faulty, it will synchronize IRIG-B (DC) from the other master clock automatically, here
time quality of IRIG-B time comparing code output from this master clock will be marked as
abnormal synchronization (the CSC-196 mark is 3, refer to special running state of the master
clock), the second punctual edges of all output time signals can keep ±1us precision yet, and
synchronization state in the output serial port message is normal too.
Typically the PMU device connects IRIG-B(DC) time comparing signals, and judge the time
quality marks in B code strictly. So the PMU should connect the slave clock when transferring
time to the PMU from the run-standby time-transfer system formed by CSC-196. For other
devices such as protection, measuring and control, and oscillograph, just connect any clock in the
time comparing system.

5. Installation, commissioning and

operating maintenance at site
5.1. Requirement for antenna installation
5.1.1. GPS antenna installation requirement

The GPS antenna should locate the top of a building or other open area, and the top of the antenna
should keep horizontal. Install the antenna on the boom, and fix the boom on the top of a building
with expansion bolts. The turning radius of an antenna should not be too small during construction,
length of antenna cable is designed according antenna gain strictly, so never cut, expand,
shorten or add any connector, or receiving effect will be impacted
severely, even no signal .

The separated type antenna connects cable with the connector behind the mushroom head, when
using the separated type antenna, please confirm matching between the gain of the antenna
mushroom head (marking on the mushroom head typically) and cable, for wrong matching will
cause bad satellite locking. The antenna connectors outdoors should be packed with water proof
insulating tape to avoid aging.
Location of the GPS antenna may impact satellite locking directly, please choose the optical
position at site for the antenna to guarantee its normal operation.
The principle for erecting the GPS antenna is looking up along with the antenna head, a 360 o sky
is seen. Refer to the correct and incorrect installation diagrams hereinafter. Since it is hard to erect
the antenna at the central control room of the power plant, for the sake of satellite locking quality,
the master clock to connect the antenna should be arranged at the network control room or the
switching station with open space around, and expanding the slave clocks at the CCR through
optical cable.

5.1.2. Requirement for BD antenna installation

There should be no obvious barrier within 50m southerly, the other installing requirements are
same with the GPS antenna.
5.2. Routine initialization

After field installation of the CSC-196, start initialization as following:
1. Connect the GPS antenna, BD antenna, optical fiber, cable and so on with relative
terminals of the device.
2. Power on the device, observe display on the front panel within several seconds after
power on according to Appendix B, or check the input channel configuration of the
device by the order $c, refer to the usual configuration schemes in Section 4.2 of this
instruction, make sure matching of the input channel configuration of the device and the
clock connecting mode.
3. Check output jumper setting of pulse output card P at site, if hour pulse 1PPH is
required at site, use the configuration order $p to set the PPM output port as hour pulse
1PPH output.
4. Check jumper setting, output message type, baud rate, time interval and so on of
message output card T according to field requirements, if the requirements are not met,
modify jumper on the message output card, choose RPS or RPM message output, or
modify the output message parameters of the RPS or the RPM port with the
configuration order $r.
5. If long optical cable connection between the master and the slave clock are used, actual
time propagation delay of optical cable should be calculated based on 5.5us/km delay
for optical cable, if time propagation delay of optical cable exceeds requirement of time
comparing precision to the time transferred equipments, make time compensation to
input and output signals of the device with the order $d.
38
Perform time compensation to the signal at the input signal side usually, for example,
clock A, B and C are connected as the following figure, TPD of 1km optical cable is
5.5us, for 2km is 11us, so set TPD compensation parameter at Clock C, 5.5us for input 1,
and 11us for input 2. (the parameter for TPD compensation is positive, typically no lead
compensation at site of the engineering)

Clock B 2km Fiber
5.3. Initialization of BD signal receiving card

Initialize the device with the BD signal receiving card JF4 at site in case of the first power on as
following:
1. For a BD time-transfer solution, there must be the GPS signal receiving cards in the
same CSC-196 or another CSC-196 at the same place, so connect it with the GPS
antenna and power on, wait for the CSC-196 to lock the satellite normally and start to
output time comparing signals.
2. Connect the CSC-196 with the GPS receiving card with the configuration serial port
wire and check the order $q; with OEM board, observe location information in returned
message carefully, wait for stabilization of basic information such as longitude, latitude,
altitude and so on, and then record the altitude.
3. Connect the BD signal receiving card CSC-196 with serial port wire, and send the BD
OEM board configuration order $oBD H=xxxxx.x;, where xxxxx.x is the local altitude
obtained from the GPS OEM board (No zerofill for high order position).
4. After a while, the BD OEM board should lock the satellite normally, here the “Time
quality” nixie tube on the front panel should display 0, and the relative indicators of
“Main input” and “Standby input” should light constantly.
5. Check the order $q; with the OEM board, observe the BD OEM board locating
information, longitude, latitude and altitude in the returned message and locating
information from the GPS OEM board, which should be basically equivalent.
6. If operating condition of the BD OEM board are not normal all along, use the OEM
39
board checking order $q;; observe quantity of satellites locked by the BD OEM board,
typically 3 satellites are available, or check location of the BD antenna.
5.4. Operating maintenance

Observe the front panel to learn operating condition of the device, the device should finish
initialization in several minutes after power on, and enter the tracking locking state, normal
displaying on the front panel as following:

display between “E” and “4”, the Alarm indicator lights constantly, and the PPS indicator flashes.
In case of incompliance between the front panel display and normal condition, check
configuration of input channel and wiring of input signal according to Section 4.2, and then check
input/output time compensation parameters, if no problem is found, check as following. Influence
from satellite position changing, the device may lose lock of satellite for short time, which may
resume automatically and not impact to performance indexes of the device. But in case of long
time satellite losing of lock, the alarm indicator and the alarm output will act to inform the
operators.
Note: check parameter setting of input channel configuration and time compensation according to Appendix
A connecting the device with serial port debugging wire or Appendix B observing panel display within
several seconds after power on.
