4 device can be implemented using:
q
DCF77 Radio Receiver (Time Signal from PTB Braunschweig),
q
IRIG-B Radio Receiver (Time Signal from the global positioning satellite (GPS) sys-
tem),
q
signals via the system interface from, for example, a substation control system,
q
radio clock using a system-specific synchronizer box,
q
minute impulses on a binary input.
Time signal generators are connected via a 9-pin D-subminiature port on the back
panel of the device.
Setting of the time synchronization is done exclusively with DIGSI
