  • RUB VL

    The RUB VL module is versatile LTC distribution amplifier and converter with variety of capabilities, to name few:-

    • It supports two LTC inputs, four LTC outputs, four RS232 and RS422 outputs and four output stages for impulse telegrams.
    • Each output has its own driver and is individually configurable.
    • Each output signal is phase locked and synchronized to the LTC reference input.

    The RUB VL is part of the RUBIDIUM SERIES 1 modular system which offers flexibility, future proof and longevity.

    Description

    • RUB VL reads and decodes LTC
    • Decodes MTD
    • Generating LTC: as „Refresh“ of the read LTC, or as read LTC time + Offset, or as decoded MTD time.
    • Sending RS232 and RS422 time and date information
    • Supports two LTC inputs, four LTC outputs, four RS232 and RS422 outputs and four output stages for impulse telegrams.
    • Each output has its own driver and is individually configurable.
    • Each output signal is phase locked and synchronized to the LTC reference input.
    • MTD timers can be converted into independent LTC signals, or various serial protocols.
    • Impulse time signal outputs are also available for the accurate control of analog clocks.
    • LEDs located on the front of the module which indicate the operating status.
    • Built-in GPI’s can be pre-programmed to signal errors  or other pre-programmed warnings.

    Example application for the RUB VL:-

    Two different time offsets (± HH:MM:SS:FF) can be  programmed which can be added and/or subtracted from the time information of the read LTCs (LTC_REF and LTC_VTR):

    1. LTC_REF ± Offset1, LTC_REF ±Offset2,
    2. LTC_VTR ± Offset1, LTC_VTR ±Offset2.

    Therefore the module RUB VL can provide four internal times, which are synchronized by an external LTC; with the offset = 00:00:00:00  the read time information is regenerated frame accurately.
