  • RUB VL

    The RUB VL module is versatile LTC distribution amplifier and converter with variety of capabilities. 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 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.
