RUBIDIUM VI Module:
|
Features |
|
Four built-in amplifiers 1:4 Distribution of LTC, Serial and Telegram Signals Two RS232 Outputs Four RS422 Outputs Compatible with Alpermann+Velte's MTD signal |
The VI module amplifies one LTC or one IRIG-B signal to six equal outputs. In case of a faulty signal output, a seventh amplifier can be switched to one of the six distributing ports.

LEDs located on the front of the module indicate the operating status. Built-in GPIs can be preprogrammed to signal errors or other warnings. The backlit keys on the front of the module can be individually configured with the included software. The setup (configuration) of the module is made using a PC via the USB or Ethernet port (optionally).
Example of a LTC distribution system, 12 outputs
Example of a redundant IRIG-B distribution system, 18 outputs
| In order to ensure a fail-safe operation all signals are monitored. In the event of an error, the appropriate output is switched to the reserve amplifier. The changeover is programmable as follows: |
|
|
Available functions can be selected by configuration over the housing’s USB interface. If a RUB IE Ethernet module is on hand, configuration can also be made via a standard web browser.
A status monitor can be accessed at any time. SNMP is available in combination with an IE module.
