IMS-RSC: Switch Module for Seamless Switchover of Backplane Signals


This product is only compatible with Meinberg's line of modular IMS LANTIME systems.
Visit the IMS Information Page to learn more.
This module is required for redundant clock module configurations and switches the synchronization signals from the selected clock module to the IMS backplane (most I/O modules use these backplane signals to generate their output signals). A new feature offers a phase neutral switchover for LIU output cards, avoiding phase jumps for telecommunication signals (E1/T1). The RSC can be configured to automatically switch between the two clock modules based on their status but it is also possible to manually select the clock module using the selection switches.

Key Features

Warranty Period (Years): 3 RoHS-compliant
  • Switchcard as a central module used in redundant GNSS based time synchronisation systems
  • Switches signal outputs automatically between two satellite receivers
  • Automatic switching can be disabled (manual override)
  • Remote management and monitoring of the switchcard is possible over the network
  • Supported networking protocols: IPv4, SNMP, TELNET, GPSMON32
  • Allows configuration and status queries via network (TCP/IP) either via SNMP or special software (GPSMON32 )
  • Supports SNMP requests as well as SNMP Traps (alarm messages for defined events, e.g. NOT SYNC or ANTENNA FAULTY)




Product Description

The RSC- Redundant Switch Control card controls the switchover of the reference clock in redundant systems with two receiver units. The RSC is used to switchover the pulse and frequency outputs and the serial interfaces between the available receivers. The controls of the module allow the selection of different modes in which the RSC operates. The status LEDs indicate which receiver is selected as a master clock and the current operating state of the switching module.



Characteristics

Status Indicators Four Status LEDs
  • LED Init: Lights up in blue during initialization and turns off after booting.
  • LED Remote: Lights red, if the remote function was activated via the network, otherwise the LED is off.
  • LED CLK1 / CLK2: These LEDs show the current switching state of the board. Both LEDs are turned off if the boards outputs are deactivated.
Supported Temperature Operational: 0 - 50 °C (32 - 122 °F)
Storage: -20 - 70 °C (-4 - 158 °F)
Supported Humidity Max. 85 % (non-condensing) at 40 °C
