NI PCI-1588 InterfaceIEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol Synchronization Interface |
Data Sheet | Specifications
The National Instruments PCI-1588 uses the IEEE 1588-2002 precision time protocol to synchronize clocks and events with other IEEE 1588-based instruments or computers. The NI PCI-1588 uses a standard RJ-45 Ethernet plug and CAT 5 cabling. It is capable of operating as either an IEEE 1588 master or slave clock module. An onboard FPGA automatically adjusts the frequency and phase of an onboard IEEE 1588 clock. The NI PCI-1588 interface synchronizes its clock with other IEEE 1588-capable devices through a built-in Ethernet port. With this synchronized time base, it can also synchronize events using (1) three general-purpose PFI lines for synchronizing non-1588 devices such as traditional instruments or PLCs via SMB connectors on the PCI bracket and (2) a RTSI interface for synchronizing other PCI instruments in the same PC. Extended WarrantiesNational Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, however unexpected failures can still occur. Extended warranties provide a fixed economical price at the time of system purchase, covering any repair costs for up to three years. In addition, they offer the following benefits:
