3 Time and Date Display with NTP synchronized Reference
3 Time and Date Display with NTP
synchronized Reference
DIS14 is a LED display with network (Ethernet) connection. It was designed to display the time (hours, minutes
and seconds) as well as the date (day, month, year and day of the week). The free running clock is beeing
synchronized cyclic via the network connection (RJ45 10/100MBit) by a NTP time server using the Network
Time Protocol.
The UTC time sent by the NTP server is converted into the users local time by configurable parameters and
displayed correspondingly. A dot in the LED display and/ or a numerical error code indicates a malfunction.
Configuration occurs via network using a Telnet connection.
3.1 Network Time Protocol (NTP)
NTP is a common method for synchronization of hardware clocks in local und global networks. The basic
concept, version 1 [Mills88], was published in 1988 as RFC (Request For Comments). Experiances made from
the practical use in Internet was followed by version 2 [Mills89]. The software package NTP is an implemen-
tation of the actual version 3 [Mills90], based on the specification RFC-1305 from1990 (directory doc/NOTES).
Permission to use, copy, modify and distribute this software for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted
(read File COPYRIGHT).
NTPs way of operation is basically different from that of most other protocols. NTP does not synchronize
all connected clocks, it forms a hierarchy of timeservers and clients. A level in this hierarchy is called a stratum,
and stratum-1 is the highest level. Timeservers of this level synchronizes themselves by a reference time source,
such as a radio controlled clock, GPS-receiver or modem time distribution. Stratum-1-Servers distribute their
time to several clients in the network which are called stratum-2.
A high precision syncronization is feasible because of the several time references. Every computer syncronizies
itself by up to three valued time sources. NTP enables the comparison of the hardware times and the adjustment
of the own clock. A time precision of 128 ms, often better than 50 ms, is possible.
DIS14/NET Date: 4th May 2021 13

4 Features of the DIS14/NET
The DIS14/NET is a stand-alone free running clock with integrated power supply that is synchronized via
network connection using NTP. The 6-digit LED display shows the time (hours and minutes, with or without
seconds) or the date (day, month and year or day-of-week). The display brightness is variable with two push
buttons. Serial time strings are generated either once per second or once per minute. Baudrate and framing
are free configurable.

4.1 Microprocessor System
The time marks from the receiver circuit are evaluated by the microprocessor system. The checked and decoded
time is written to the on-board real time clock and spread by the interface. A software watchdog lets the
microprocessor recover from malfunction. A power-fail comparator resets the microprocessor if the supply voltage
drops below a specified threshold. A flash EPROM located in the microprocessor is used as program memory
that can be loaded with the firmware by the serial interface COM0.
4.2 Buffered Real Time Clock
In case of supply voltage failure the on-board real time clock keeps the time powered by a backup capacitor for
more than 150 hours. This capacitor does not need any maintenance and ensures that the DIS14 returns with
the actual time information even before the first synchronisation. alternatively, the clock can be ordered with a
lithium battery which has a live time of at least 10 years guaranteed.
4.3 EEPROM
The non-volatile EEPROM is used to store the settings of the DIS14. This ensures a proper restart without
any new configuration after the DIS14 was switched off for a time The two push buttons in the front panel are
used to set the parameters. The following items can be set: display brightness, baudrate and framing as well
as output mode of the serial interface, format of the time string, time zone (local or UTC) and the language of
the day-of-week view. Furthermore, the time can be set manually, e.g. for testing.
14 Date: 4th May 2021 DIS14/NET

4 Features of the DIS14/NET
4.4 Display
The 6-digit LED display shows the time in two different formats, either with or without seconds, or the date
is displayed in two formats, either with the current year or with the day-of-week. Furthermore, in case of a
problem a numeric error code is shown instead of the time or date. The green LED digits have a 20/13 mm
character height.
Four status LEDs indicate the currently shown information: the "Time" LED is switched on whenever one
of the two time formats is displayed. The "Date" LED is switched on when a date format is displayed. Selection
of the displayed format is made with the Mode button. The "Setup" LED is switched on when the setup menu is
entered by pressing the Mode button for at least two seconds. The "Error" LED is switched on to indicate that
a problem occurs. In addition to the "Error" LED, a numerical error code can be displayed when this is choosen
in the setup menu (see "Debug Mode").
The displays brightness is variable by the two push buttons labeled with Brightness.
4.5 Serial Interface
The DIS14 provides two serial ports which can either be used as RS232 or RS422 interfaces. The COM0
interface provides an RS422 output, COM1 provides an RS422 input. On this way, a network-synchronized
DIS14 can synchronize an additional DIS14 without network connection. The transfer rate and the data format
are free selectable. The serial port can sent a time string once per second, once per minute or only on request
by sending an ASCII character "?" (ASCII code 3Fh).
4.6 Power Supply
The integrated mains power supply provides the clock with a stabilized voltage of 5V. The standard AC power
supply has an input range of 100-240V/50-60Hz and is fused with T 0.2 A / 250 V. The DC versions are fused
with T 1 A.
The supply voltage is fed to the receiver via a connecting socket in the back of the device. The clock has
no power switch and therefore will start immediately. Depending on the supply voltage (see label on the case)
the DIS14 is equipped with an IEC socket (AC) or with a 3pin. terminal connector (DC).
DIS14/NET Date: 4th May 2021 15

5 Installation
5.1 Connection
Note: Before connecting the device to the power circuit, the DIS14 must be connected with the network cable.
So when using a DHCP server, the IP address of the DIS14 can be allocated properly .
The supply voltage is applied to the radio clock via an AC power connector in the rear panel. The clock
has no power switch and starts showing the time of the internal real time clock or, if applicable, a numeric error
code immediately after connecting the supply voltage. This is indicated by the "Error" status LED.
After network connection has been established and the DIS14 has successfully synchronized, the display shows
the time of the reached NTP server, the configured time zone is taken into consideration. This is indicated by
the above mentioned "Error" LED switched off (depending on the NTP request time).
