Revision 1.6 OVERVIEW
All versions of the 5600MSC offer an AUX I/O port and a COM port for software upgrades and/or
interconnecting two 5600MSC units (when used with the 5600ACO). An optional redundant power
supply is also available.

Figure 1-1: Redundant Master Clock/SPG with Auto Changeover System Diagram
Two 5600MSC units in combination with an Automatic Change Over (model 5600ACO) provide an
extra degree off reliability where dual redundant installations are required. The ACO provides relay
changeover for the two LTC outputs, the six Sync pulse outputs, the 10 MHz reference output, the
DARS output and the GPI/O interface. The 5600ACO can be run in an automatic mode providing
intelligent monitoring and arbitration of the two sets of 5600MSC outputs, automatically switching to the
backup 5600MSC when any of the primary 5600MSC signals fails. The 5600ACO can also be
operated in manual mode, allowing switching to either unit on demand from a GPI input or front panel
switch. Two banks of LEDs provide status monitoring of the outputs from each of the 5600MSC units.
A serial cable interconnecting the COM ports of the two 5600MSC units guarantees that the
