Advantages (USP) The NBU 190 movement is a self-setting movement. By means of dip switches on the movement the behavior of the second hand can be chosen (60 second stop, etc.). The NBU 190 can follow up to four NTP time sources which ensures a high redundancy of the movement itself. The NBU 190 uses the DHCP configuration mode and is therefore fully compliant with the state-of-the-art technology in network management. The movement is configured and monitored as well as powered over the Ethernet. Installation therefore only needs one cabling respectively one network connection. The NBU 190 can be addressed by both unicast and multicast For maintenance purposes the movement can even be addressed by unicast and multicast at the same time (e.g. for multicast scanning of an existing unicast installation). The dip switches allow an easy installation. Central device management for all MOBATIME DTS devices and network slave clocks allows full integration of DTSproduct line. Possible management modes: installation / commissioning, operation / monitoring, maintenance, updating. The NBU 190 can be fully integrated in an existing, state-of-the-art network management system.

The slim design allows the installation in clock housings of almost every dimension. By means of dip switches on the movement the behavior of the second hand can be chosen (sweeping, stepwise, etc.). This functionality allows significantly faster season and time zone changes. Since the time to run to the 12 o clock position for fitting the hands remains only a fraction of former movements the installation time can be reduced. The SEN 40 can follow up to four NTP time sources which ensures a high redundancy of the movement itself. The SEN40 uses the DHCP configuration mode and is therefore fully compliant with the state-of-the-art technology in network management. The movement is configured and monitored as well as powered over the Ethernet. Installation therefore only needs one cabling respectively one network connection. The SEN 40 can be addressed by both unicast and multicast For maintenance purposes the movement can even be addressed by unicast and multicast at the same time (e.g. for multicast scanning of an existing unicast installation). The dip switches allow an easy installation. Central device management for all MOBATIME DTS devices and network slave clocks allows full integration of DTSproduct line.

The scanned devices are listed in MOBA NMS and can be arranged for convenient management and administration. The grouping function allows an exact mapping of the DTS-devices and slave clocks according to the installation in reality (e.g. group slave clocks for each different platform, room, etc.) or the logical demands of the administrator. MOBA NMS supports the major network addressing modes. At commissioning and troubleshooting MOBA NMS offers different ways to evaluate and ensure correct functionality and availability of DTS-devices and slave clocks in the time system. The MOBA NMS administrator on his own can update and adjust time zones according to local needs. Provision of time zone updates from supplier is no longer necessary.
