IEEE 1588 protocol software with new features
for the telecommunication sector

The IEEE 1588 protocol software from IXXAT enables networking devices with accurate and reliable time synchronization for automation, automotive, measurement and telecommunication applications. Depending on the microcontroller system and the type of network employed, IXXAT’s IEEE 1588-2008 PTP software is able to attain time synchronization accuracy in the nanosecond range.

The new version 1.05 now supports the basic requirements of the ITU-T G.8265.1 telecom specification for “Packet Timing Signal Fail Mechanism”, “Multi Clock” and “One Way” mode making it an optimal solution for use in telecom applications.

Along with the extension packages for NMEA2000 and ISO15765-2, IXXAT now offers the Diagnostic Extension package according to J1939-73 to extend the functionality of the SAE J1939 protocol software.

During the development of J1939 devices, the implementation of diagnostic services becomes more and more important. Diagnostic messages provide the utility needed when the vehicle is being repaired. They are also used during vehicle operation by the networked ECUs to allow them to report diagnostic information and self-compensate as appropriate, based on information received.

with new features and extended hardware support

IXXAT’s IEEE 1588 protocol stack enables the fast and easy development of IEEE 1588 conform devices. Due to the broad functional range, continuous development and the wide distribution, IXXAT’s IEEE 1588 protocol software can be considered as the leading 1588 reference implementation.

The new release 1.04 now also supports the Intel PCI network card “Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I340-T4″ under Linux, enabling the high accurate system time synchronization on standard PCs using IEEE 1588.

New features and extended hardware support

The precise time synchronization of devices in distributed applications, like measurement, telecommunication and automation systems as well as in the automotive sector, is increasingly becoming an important requirement. The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) according to IEEE 1588 meets this requirement by enabling a highly accurate synchronization of distributed devices over Ethernet down to the nanosecond range.
