MCK

The accuracy of time information, already optimized thanks to a precise internal clock, can be further increased by synchronizing MCK 2290, or by means of a Master Clock using the NTP protocol.

As an alternative to the use of the NTP protocol, the GPS 2290/NTP antenna can be placed outside the building and connected to the MCK by means of an Ethernet connection. This device is capable of transmitting precise time information, ensured the accuracy of the GPS system.

So much from a network

The importance of simplicity

With the SNMP protocol it is possible to have real-time monitoring of the functioning state of the entire system. Specifically, it is possible to have notification emails sent, should any anomalies occur.

The presence of multiple digital outputs, which can be configured by the user, allows for time-based alerts.

The MCK 2290/NTP master clocks are compatible and can be integrated within traditional clock systems as well. Equipped with pulsed lines and a serial line, they can keep the time synchronized for all older clocks: this makes it possible for these master clocks to be used within older or hybrid systems as well.

To synchronize serial clocks, an RS485 multipoint serial line is available.

The integrated Web server which can be reached by Ethernet makes it possible to configure, monitor and control the various features of the master clock itself, as well as of all the other NTP clocks connected to it.

WebMCK is a software-based application resident on the various MCK models. It handles configuration and monitoring functions of the clock system and it offers considerable advantages in terms of ease of use and reduced software maintenance.

The main purpose of the MCK 2290/NTP is to manage and synchronize all of the different devices connected to it.

WebMCK can also pilot devices of an older generation, handling up to four different pulsed lines (even with different and independent parameters for each line) and one RS232/RS485 type serial line.

For more recent devices, equipped with an Ethernet interface and that to use the NTP/SNTP protocol, the MCK 2290/NTP is seen as an NTP/SNTP server. In particular, for Solari di Udine NTP clocks, the software solution makes it possible to centralize the configuration and monitoring of the system.

In the configuration section, it is also possible to logically group clocks into one or more groups so as to differentiate applied parameter configurations regarding the time to be displayed. WebMCK then automatically sends these parameters and verifies that they have been applied correctly.

A Master Clock can be synchronized using a GPS receiver or by one or more NTP servers: WebMCK allows the choice of which type of source to use (even both) and the identification parameters to be applied (for example, the IP address of the NTP server).

An additional service offered by WebMCK is the monitoring of the current synchronization state.

System monitoring consist in a constant analysis of the functioning state of the MCK 2290/NTP and of all connected peripheral devices. A constantly active process cyclically queries the peripheral devices and therefore verifies, not just their state, but also that their configuration is correct.

Thanks to the implementation of the SNTP and SNMP protocols, should an error occur, such as the loss of synchronization, it is possible to send an email or SNMP trap.

The WebMCK application also manages an event log in which activities are registered and any problems recorded.

The mechanism that enhances and simplifies the configuration phase is called DHCP Solari: this allows the MCK 2290/NTP to offer IP addresses to those devices that request it, and therefore reduces the number of steps necessary for deploying a new clock.

MCK 2290/NTP also provides an updating mechanism for its software and makes it easier to update the software of the NTP clocks by Solari di Udine, since it is possible to update all clocks of the same type (e.g., MOSAICO) with a single action.
