2 Commissioning
2.1 System description
The American GPS ( Global Positioning System) is a worldwide satellite navigation system. The 24 satellites in this system transmit the time read from their onboard atomic clocks in G.M.T. (Greenwich-Mean-Time). With the SICLOCK GPSDEC and the SICLOCK GPSCOM systems (described below), the GPS satellite signals can be down-loaded and made available for a variety of applications. SICLOCK GPSDEC (compact DIN rail housing) is designed for industrial applications while SICLOCK GPSCOM (desktop mounting) is suitable for the office environment. The antenna is only suitable for stationary applications due to the integrated One Satellite Mode. Figures 2 and 3 show the commissioning of SICLOCK GPSCOM (Fig. 2) and SICLOCK GPSDEC (Fig. 3).

Every effort must be made to ensure that the antenna sees as much sky as possible, i.e. that it is not located too close to nearby buildings, etc. Suitable sites for the antenna would be on a flat roof or facing a large (!) window. The antenna is protected against overvoltages caused by lightning via the 2XV9450-1AR11 lightning protection. The antenna can be fixed in an upright ( Figure 1a) or in a right-angled (hanging on a wall, Figure 1b) position. The wide mounting plate allows the antenna to be firmly se-

(b) In preparing for the assembly of the antenna, it must be decided whether the antenna is going to be located on a wall or on the ground. If the antenna is to be located on the ground (Figure 1a), then the antenna cable (7) is pulled from the mounting plate through the mounting (4) straight through the two opposite lying openings of the cubic housing (3) and then through the connector. Now the antenna cable connector is inserted into the antenna head (1) and screwed in tightly. Then the connector is screwed into the antenna head (and not the other way around, otherwise the cable will be shorn)!. Finally the connector (with the antenna head), (1) and (2) and the mounting (4) are pushed into the cubic housing and easily fixed into place with the headless screws (5,6). In the case of a wall site (Figure 1b), the antenna cable (7) is pulled from the mounting plate through the support arm (4) and then at a right angle through the cubic housing. Then the antenna cable connector is inserted into the antenna head (1) and screwed in tightly. Then the connector is screwed into the antenna head (and not the other way around, otherwise the cable will be shorn!).

2.2.2 Connecting the antenna

To connect the antenna to the GPS-decoder, the free end of the antenna cable is inserted into the GPS-decoders antenna socket. These sockets are located on the top of the SICLOCK GPSDEC casing at the back of the SICLOCK GPSCOM casing. The length of the cable normally supplied is 15 m. A 30 m cable (Order-No: 2XV9450-1AR12).or a 70 m cable can also be supplied on request (Order-No: 2XV9450-1AR07).

2.4.2 LED Signals

2.3 Power supply

2.3.1 SICLOCK GPSDEC:
DC: 10V to 32V AC: 9V to 24V

The LED signals on the device1 help to identify the four distinctive operating modes: Red and not blinking: This operating mode is displayed both after the device has been powered up (for a max. of 15 seconds) and in the case of a fault. The fault may be caused either by an incorrect configuration or the loss of the link to the GPS-receiver. Red and blinking: This signal means that the system is functioning normally, however no connection to the Satellite exists. After power-up the system goes first into the continuous red mode and then into the flashing red mode until a satellite signal is received. Green and blinking: Not more than 3 satellites are being received when the system displays this mode. The GPS-Time is available. If the system is unable to compensate for the signal transmission time from the satellite, the precision lies between 20 and 50ms. When the position is known, the decoder changes to the one satellite mode, where the exact time is reached. Refer to section 3.2 for details. Green and not blinking (one satellite mode): If the position of the receiver could be identified after being turned on, then only one satellite signal is necessary for generating the time having a precision of 1 s (plus the delay of the interface circuits).It is not necessary to have a permanent connection from the antenna to at least 4 satellites, when using the one satellite mode. It suffices to have such a transmission once a day. Refer to section 3.2 for details.

The voltage adapter which is delivered with the product allows a connection to a 230V AC supply. The power is fed through pins 14 and 15 of the connection X1 (Fig. 4). The polarity of the connection is irrelevant. Important: If the power supply and the signal have a common ground (DC supply) then the ground must be connected to the GND pins of the X1 connection (pin 1 or 5) and the power is fed through pins 14 or 15 (Fig. 4)!

(For configuration see section 2.6.2 and 3.1.1) Antenna connection to link up with radio clocks (BNC-female connector(s), see section 3.1.3): (a) 5mV (X4) (b) 500mV (X3, SICLOCK GPSDEC only).

2.4 Basic Functions

2.4.1 Time transmission
The satellites of the GPS system continually transmit the time from their internal atomic clocks and their path stream. Since the satellites position continually changes, the time is transmitted in G.M.T., which corresponds to a geographical length of 0. This information can determine the actual location when 4 satellite signals are received. If locations are known, then the transmission of only 1 satellite signal is enough to determine the time having an Internal precision within 1 s. This is known as the One Satellite Mode. Since the time calculation occurs after receiving a stationary location, the SICLOCK GPSDEC and GPSCOM decoders are not suitable for movable applications such as on ships or other vehicles. The transmitted GPS-coded time is converted by the decoder into local time including the changeover for example from summer to winter. The results from this calculation is converted into a user-friendly DCF77 and ASCII message format and then transmitted to the interfaces.

The display consists of one two-color LED (red/green) in the case of SICLOCK GPSDEC and two individual LEDs (red and green) in the case of SICLOCK GPSCOM). Order Number 2XV9450-1AR10 Version 1.2 Page 5 of 17

Operating Instructions for the GPS-decoder SICLOCK GPSCOM/SICLOCK GPSDEC

2.5 System settings

The GPS-decoder requires a list of settings to operate correctly. These settings include for example, whether a switch over from summer time to winter time is necessary, the form of the time message to be sent to the application and the interval at which the time should be sent to the application. The GPS-decoder is delivered with standard settings. A program called PARGPS.EXE is supplied to change the settings with a PC. The driver called GPSUHR05.SYS is necessary to communicate with the GPS-decoder. The various system interactions are shown in Fig. 5.

whereby (Default values are printed in bold writing): c (Port): (1=COM1, 2=COM2) b (Baud rate): (0=38400, 1=19200, 2=9600, 3=2400) p (Parity):(N=None, O=ODD, E=EVEN) After installing the driver the computer has to be rebooted. Important: The first time the GPS-decoder is used with a computer, the baud rate and parity settings have to correspond to the default settings in the GPSdecoder, otherwise the transfer of the time-message and the setting of the internal DOS-time will not be possible. The choice of serial port has to match the system set-up. The settings baud rate and parity can be changed at a later stage with the help of PARGPS.EXE

2.5.1 Hardware installation

To connect the GPSDEC-decoder with the serial port of a PC or workstation the included cable or an RS232 extension cable (no null-modem-cable) can be used. The X2 terminal of the GPSDEC decoder must have a 9 pin SubD male connector.

Example: If the GPS-decoder is to be attached to COM1 and not COM2 (default), then the following line must be entered into CONFIG.SYS device = c:\dos\gpsuhr05.sys /C:1

2.5.2 Installation disk

The disk contains five files: GPSUHR05.SYS (Driver) PARGPS.EXE (Setting program) PARDATEI.DAT (File with standard settings) SINEC.DAT (File with settings to enable a SIEMENS time transmitter (SINEC-H1) to be controlled) LSA1.DAT (File with settings to enable a SIEMENS DCF77-time sender-unit (LSA1) to be controlled)

2.5.4 Setting the PARGPS.EXE program

With this program the GPS-settings can be easily transferred to SICLOCK GPSCOM and SICLOCK GPSDEC. 2.5.4.1 Installation: The PARGPS.EXE program requires the GPSUHR05.SYS driver to communicate with the GPS-decoder (For installation refer to section 2.5.3).The setting program can be installed as follows: Create a new directory (e.g. PARGPS) with md pargps. Copy the program to this directory with: copy a:\pargps.exe c:\pargps . A separate directory can be created for the files with the GPS-settings if so desired: md pardat, into which the file PARDAT.DAT with the standard GPSsettings can be copied. The GPS_DAT parameter is then set to the directory (e.g. c:\pardat), into which the GPS-setting files should be placed. This is done with the following line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file : set gps_dat = c:\pardat The GPS-setting files can, of course, be placed in the same directory as the setting program (Default-setup).

2.5.3 Installing the GPSUHR05.SYS driver

The GPSUHR05.SYS DOS-driver has two functions. It changes the internal DOS-time when a standard time message is received and it also enables the configuration tool to interact with the GPS-decoder. The driver is installed as follows: Copy the GPSUHR05.SYS driver from the Installation disk into the DOS directory:

copy a:\gpsuhr05.sys c:\dos Edit the file CONFIG.SYS and insert the line:

device = c:\dos\gpsuhr05.sys /C:c /B:b /P:p

2.5.4.2 Brief description: A comprehensive program description can be found in section 4.2. This section deals with the parameters baud rate and parity. The configuration process consists of three steps: (a) Start the system with the installed driver from section 2.5.3 (The driver writes a message to the screen when the PC is booted). (b) Start the setting program with the desired GPSdecoder settings, which have been stored in the appropriate directory. There are three ways to call the program: i. pargps -e: The settings in the pardatei.dat file are loaded automatically. i. pargps -e[-f<name>]: The settings in the <name>.dat file are loaded.

Check to see if the driver has been properly installed (section 2.5.3). After acknowledging this message, the program is started with the default (factory) settings PARDATEI.DAT .

2.6 Standard connection options

2.6.1 RS232-Interface connection
The following three procedures use the RS232 interface in this system. 2.6.1.1 Configuring: Installation and use of the PARGPS.EXE setting program has been dealt with in section 2.5.4 . 2.6.1.2 Time message: If the system is receiving the current time from the satellite, then a time message is sent every minute over the RS232-Interface (see section 3.3.1). This message together with the appropriate operating system specific driver allows PCs and/or workstations to be synchronised. The connection is made over a 1:1 cable, the use of a Null-modem-cable is not supported. 2.6.1.3 DCF77: The demodulated DCF77 signal is sent over pin 9 of the RS232 interface, the base signal level being -10 V. The signal can be used for example, to synchronise high priority time messages at the start of every minute. The signal is used in conjunction with the appropriate driver to achieve synchronisation in a WINDOWS NT or WINDOWS 95 environment. An adapter which connects pin 9 of the GPSDEC interface to Pin 2 (RxD) of the PC/Workstation-interface (figure 6).

Important: The extension .DAT is not needed!

i.

pargps -e [-i<name>]: The <name>.dat settings file is created and the settings are saved to it.

Important: The extension.DAT is not needed, -e starts the programm in English language.

Example: pargps -e -itest puts the current settings in the TEST.DAT file (c) The PC can only communicate with the GPS-decoder if both ports are identically configured. For this reason the driver has to be configured with the setting program to match the decoders set-up. The factory installation for the GPS-decoder port is. : 9600, NONE. If no information is available about the GPS-decoder port then all the possible variations have to be tried. The driver settings can be changed with the menu option: <l> Driver (see section 4.1). The connection can only be set up by executing the GPS-status command (Menu option <k> GPS-Status (see section 4.2.3.21)). If the connection cannot be set up after several attempts, then the driver settings are different from the GPS-decoder settings. (d) When a connection to the GPS-decoder is established, the settings can be loaded in the GPS-decoder with <i> Write to EEPROM (see section 4.2.3.19). With <j> Read to EEPROM (see section 4.2.3.20) the GPS-decoder settings can be uploaded to the PC.

Figure 6: X2 Interface adapter for DCF77-Message synchronization

2.6.2 TTY current loop Interface connection (only for SICLOCK GPSDEC)
Here only the DCF77-TTY-output port (X1, pins 5-8) is important. The following connection possibilities are only to be used with the devices mentioned.

Important: When the system is rebooted these changes to the driver are ignored! The changes can either be saved in the CONFIG.SYS file (2.5.3) before rebooting the PC or the changes can be entered each time the program is started.

Important: When connecting to other devices, it is important to know how they are configured. The X1 port is described in section 3.1.1.

2.5.4.3 Error messages The following messages can appear when starting the program: Fault during start of setting program .... The message indicates that something is wrong with the way in which the program is called (section 2.5.4.2)! Driver cannot be opened !!! Hit any key to continue !

2.6.2.1 Connecting the SIEMENS SINEC-H1-Time transmitter The SINEC-H1-Time transmitter can interpret user-defined messages. The necessary settings are to be found in the SINEC.DAT file which can be loaded with the PARGPS.EXE program described in section 2.5.4, with the command PARGPS -fsinec. There are basically two ways to connect the SINEC-H1-time transmitter to the SICLOCK GPSDEC (over the active or the passive TTY current loop interface). Figure 7 shows both possibilities.

The 1 second output is like the DCF77output and can be used in a similar fashion. In the quiet phase, the transistor allows current to flow and is turned off for the duration of the pulse. Unlike the DCF77 message, the 1 second pulses are sent even after the connection to the satellite ceases to exist and no more DCF77 messages can be sent. The transistors collector is connected to X1.2, the emitter to X1.3. The volt. at the current source X1.4 is limited to 12 V. Instead of the 1 second

connection over long distances can be realized with the TTY current loop interface. This signal can for example, connected directly to a LSA1-time message receiver or to a PLC which can read and decode the signal over a digital input. . In the quiet phase, the transistor as in the 1 second pulse, allows current to flow and is turned off for the duration of the pulse. For a Low-Bit the current is switched off for 100ms and for a High-Bit for 200ms. The transistors collector is connected to pin X1.7 and emitter to X1.6. the current available at X1.8 makes the

connections shown in Figure. 10 possible: The 1 second Impulse signal (X1.1) can be used to regulate the normal voltage of the output to 12V. By changing the device settings it is possible to make the RS232 interface time message available at the output rather than the DCF77 pulse. The TTY time message can of course be transmitted over longer distances than the RS232 signal (see section 3.3.1).

3.2 Precision
Table 4 contains the precision of each interface. The relative precision specifies the maximum deviation which can occur between two pulses in a row while the absolute precision specifies the difference from the atomic clock which updates the whole GPS-System. A precision of between 20 and 50 ms has to be added to the absolute precision when there are no more than three satellite connections. This is to take into account the signal delay from the satellite to earth which cannot be compensated for in this case. When connections to more than 3 satellites exist the time is correct to within 1s. A baud rate of 38400 results in a maximum transmission time for the first character T of 200s + 11 x 26s, i.e. ca. 500s in total.

3.1.2 Connection X2
X2 is a Sub D female connection at the front (SICLOCK GPSDEC) or the rear (SICLOCK GPSCOM) of the device. The connection assignment is described in the following table. See also section 2.6.1. The terms send and receive are used from the PC point of view. The interface requires a triple line connection i.e. It uses only a send, receive and ground signal. The baud rate can be changed to the values 38400bd, 19200bd, 9600bd and 2400bd (see section 4.2.3.11). The message is sent asynchronously and consists of a startbit, 8 data bits and a stop bit. The parity can be set to even, odd or no parity. The connection to a PC or a workstation is done with a simple extension cable (not a null modem cable): The signal lines RxD (Receive), TxD (Transmit) and GND (Ground) are used to transmit messages. The signals RTS and CTS as well as the signals DSR, DCD and DTR are connected together at the port X2.

3.3 Messages and settings

For enable the communication between the GPS-decoder and the receiver, the following control characters have been defined: EOZ (end of time) - 95h SOZ (start of time) - 96h EOP (end of parameter) - 97h SOP (start of parameter) - 98h HSK (handshake) - 99h

3.1.3 Connections X3 and X4 (GPSDEC only)

At the antenna ports X3 and X4 there is a 77.5 kHz sinusoidal signal with various voltage levels, which is modulated with the DCF77 time code i.e. for 100ms (Low) or 200ms (High) the carrier deviates from it's normal strength by 25%. The output voltage of the BNC connector X4 is 500mV with a 50 resistance in series (SICLOCK GPSDEC only). The output voltage of the connection X3 is 5mV in series with a capacitor and a 50 terminating resistor. The exact wiring of the antenna is shown in Fig. 11. The output X4 has a greater amplitude and allows the signal to be transmitted over larger distances, the output X3
BNC-sockets 50 X4 / 500mV

3.3.1 Time messages

It is possible by means of the settings to choose between a standard time message and a user-defined time message. The sending of the time message depends on the settings2. Resulting delays are caused mainly by the serial ports transmission time. 3.3.1.1 Standard time messages: These messages are sent at the beginning of every minute as a string of ASCII characters and can be easily written to a monitor. A standard time message delivers the current time to the driver software. User-defined time messages (see section 3.3.1.2) cannot be used for this purpose because the message format must be known by the driver in advance. The standard time message is made up as follows: <SOZ>TttHhhDddWwMmmYyySsssX<LF><CR><EOZ>, where <LF>=0AH, <CR>=0DH The capital letters represent the message sections whereas the small letters represent the values of the variables. The definition of the message is as follows. tt: Minutes (Time) from 00 to 59. hh: Hours (Hour) from 00 to 23. dd: Days (Day) from 01 to 31. w: Weekday (Weekday) from 1 for Monday to 7 for Sunday. mm: Month (Month)from 1 to 12 yy: Year (Year) from 00 to 99. sss: Status (Status). The three fields have the following meaning: s__: Field 1: GPS status: relative precision < 3s < 3s < 3s < 1s < 10s

Figure 11: Connections X3 and X4 can be used as a connection to the antenna input of the DCF77-receivers. The series capacitance inhibits the DC voltages which can be produced by active antennas. It is possible to program the response of the antenna outputs (X3, X4) and the DCF77 (X1.5-8) to the breakdown of the satellite connection. The two possibilities are either to continue sending the DCF-Code indefinitely or to stop Table 4: Interface Precision

Faulty, either the connection to the GPSReceiver is down or the settings are invalid. Initialising, system is in working order, however it is yet to build up a connection to a satellite. At least one connection to a satellite has existed since the system has been started however at the moment no connection exists. The time messages being sent are the result of the GPS time received earlier. There currently exists one satellite connection, the resulting precision lies between 20ms and 50ms. There currently exist two satellite connections, the resulting precision lies between 20ms and 50ms. Connections to 3 satellites, the resulting precision lies between 20ms and 50ms. Connections to 4 satellites, the precision lies between 20ms and 50ms because of the weakness of the signal. One Satellite Mode, there exist connections to less than 4 satellites, the time delay from satellite to earth can be compensated for and the resulting precision is up to 1s. Connections to 4 satellites and the internal clock is synchronised with the satellite clock. The time can now be calculated with a precision of 1s.

also be faulty. By checking this bit it can be established whether the fault lies in the receiver or the settings. bit 3 0: 1:

No fault registered by the GPS-receiver. Fault registered by the GPS-receiver, Receiver module faulty.

Example: The message <SOZ>T20H11D24W1M10Y95S400X<LF><CR><EOZ> is interpreted as follows: Monday, 24. 10. 95, 11:20.00, 2 Satellites, winter time, no fault 3.3.1.2 User-defined time messages: It is possible to construct and send a user-defined time message in place of the standard message. This message consists of up to 40 characters. The easiest way to create one of these is with the help of the program PARGPS.EXE (see section 4.2.3.17). The user-defined time messages are sent at the same intervals as the standard messages, except that the <SOZ><EOZ>- delimiters are omitted.

3.3.2 Defining the settings

The settings allow a summer time to winter time changeover, the defining of general sender behaviour, baud rate, parity, the interval at which messages are to be sent and the message format, as well as the interfaces. The program PARGPS.EXE enables the settings to be easily configured (see section 2.5.4 and 4.2).

__s:

Field 2: Time status: 0: The sent time is set to winter time and a changeover will not take place for at least an hour. 1: The sent time is set to winter time, a changeover to summer time will take place in the next hour. 2: The sent time is set to summer time and a changeover will take place in the next hour. 3: The sent time is set to summer time and a changeover will not take place for at least an hour. Third Field: Setting status: To decode this field the difference of this value to the value for '0' is calculated and the result viewed in binary format. The 4 least significant bits are interpreted as follows: bit 0 0: 1:

The GPS-receivers status information for the previous minute is available. For the previous minute no information about the GPS-receiver is available.

bit 1 0: 1:

The time could be read in the previous minute from the GPS-receiver. The time could not be read in the previous minute from the GPS-receiver. The time was established internally.

The settings are consistent i.e. they could be read without error from the EEPROM. What is not checked, however, is the validity of the settings. This is the job of the program used to define the settings. The settings obtained from the EEPROM are inconsistent i.e. a problem occurred when the parameters were being read. If this status occurs then the GPS-status will

Installing and setting-up the PARGP.EXE driver has already been dealt with in section 2.5.3.

4.2 PARGPS.EXE Setting program

The following setting default values are those found in the PARDATEI.DAT file (Default (factory) settings).

(a) Description: Time zone allows the calculation of the local time through the addition of an offset (in hours and quarter of an hour) to the UTC time (Universal Time Coordinated), which is sent from the GPS satellite. The hours are written with numbers and the quarter of an hour is represented with the letters a (15 min), b (30 min) and c (45 min). For example, entering 3a means a time offset of 3 hours and 15 minutes. If no letter is entered, then a time offset results as a whole hour. (b) Sub-menu: Value (c) Valid values: -12h to +12h, a, b, and c (d) Default value/Standard value: +1 4.2.3.2 <2> Send.reaction: (a) Description: It is possible with this menu option to specify whether the time message and the DCF77 message should continue to be sent in the event of a breakdown in the satellite link. In this case the GPSdecoders internal clock continues to run without being synchronised. The 1 second pulses at output X1.1-4 will be produced regardless of this setting after one successful satellite time capture.
