ABB 560RTC03 R0001 1KGT012000R0001 Real-Time Clock Module

FAQ

Q1: What is ABB 560RTC03 R0001?
A: It is an IRIG-B real-time clock module used to synchronize the clock of an ABB RTU560 system.

Q2: What is the ABB part number?
A: The part number is 1KGT012000R0001, corresponding to 560RTC03 R0001.

Q3: What time synchronization standards does it support?
A: It supports IRIG-B and AFNOR NFS 87-500 time standards, including IRIG-B122/B123 and B002/B003 formats.

Q4: What is the main function of 560RTC03?
A: It receives an external standard time signal and synchronizes the RTU560 internal clock, allowing multiple terminal units to maintain the same reference time.

Q5: Does it provide a synchronization pulse?
A: Yes. The module provides a MIN1 minute pulse output with a pulse length of approximately 100 ms. This can be connected to the TSY input of a communication unit.

Q6: How is the IRIG-B signal connected?
A: A modulated IRIG-B/AFNOR signal is connected through the front-panel BNC connector. Unmodulated signals are connected through the RTU560 backplane.

Q7: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The module is approximately 160 × 100 × 20 mm in the RTU560 plug-in format. A practical logistics estimate is 0.15–0.20 kg net and approximately 0.4–0.6 kg packed.

Q8: Is 560RTC03 a communication module?
A: No. It is specifically a real-time clock/synchronization module. It provides accurate external time synchronization to the RTU560 system rather than serving as a general-purpose communication interface.
