KenClock

The KenClock has been designed based on our multifunctional displays – MFD and operate on a master/slave architecture. The high-resolution LCD touch screens provide digital representations of both UTC and local time. Control of the currently presented time on all devices belonging to the network is carried out by the master clock. This means that any changes made to the primary clock are automatically updated on the secondary clocks. 

Devices communicate with each other through RS-232/RS-422 serial interfaces as well as Ethernet (PoE). As the primary data source, the master clock receives signals from external GPS receivers (NMEA0183 standard), as well as from built-in GPS receiver or internal real-time clock. If communication with the master clock is lost, the secondary clock seamlessly switches to the internal time signal source to maintain accurate timekeeping. 

Additionally, KenClock acts as a highly reliable time server in the ship’s computer network using the NTP protocol as a stratum 1 reference.
