According to the method, a base timing cycle produced on a selected assembly (11a) is transmitted to at least one other assembly (11b) and is used to synchronise a timing cycle of the assemblies (11a, 11b).

Method for recirculation conversion to short monopulse duration code Recirculation period is reduced in each recirculation to a calibrated duration value τ and the number of recirculations n from the moment of entry of the converted monopulse into the recirculator up to the moment of its coincidence with the recirculation period is counted, and the digital conversion result β is determined by arithmetic-logic computation as β=(N-2n), where N=txmax/τ (txmax is the highest duration value of the converted monopulse and the measurement region n ε [1-N]). |

Protected clock synchronisation For single-stage transfer of a clock signal as per IEEE 1588 standard symmetrical and asymmetrical protection circuit. Clock signals of crucial or widely available devices in industrial automation systems connected to communication network are synchronised by means of synchronization message transfer by master clock generator, in particular one message of single-stage synchronisation as per IEEE 1588 standard with time stamp and receipt and evaluation of this message by slave clock generator. Before beginning of the planned time moment tsend synchronising component or module of the master clock generator prepares or shapes synchronisation message that includes time stamp of the transfer and protects is before moment of transfer. Protection of synchronisation message is carries out by appropriate cryptographic means that allow at least identification of the time stamp in the slave clock generator, for example, by method of computation and sign assignment for check sum or hashing of the synchronisation message. Transfer of the protected synchronisation message is carried out at the planned moment of time. |

The apparatus includes an optical radiation pulse generator with a splitter, a delayed pulse former, an optical radiation sensor, an optical radiation recorder and a personal computer. The optical output of the optical radiation pulse generator is connected by the splitter to a board, having an array of optical fibres which carry optical radiation from the investigated object. The optical radiation sensor is in form of matrix-type converter for converting an optical image to an electrical signal and lies on the focal surface of the photographic camera of the high-speed photochronographic recorder. |

Method to measure time intervals between radiation pulses In the method for measurement of time intervals between radiation pulses each of pulses generated by an investigated object is introduced into the appropriate light guide, the opposite ends of light guides are arranged in the form of a matrix, its image with the help of an optical system including a rotary mirror is moved along a photosensitive surface of a photodetector, on which light marks are fixed. Time intervals are determined between marks as a quotient from division of distances between them into a speed of image scan, at the same time the time intervals are broken into two parts: the first one, common for all intervals (delay time Tspec), the value of which is by 1 mcs lower than the time of development of the investigated process, produced by calculation, and the second one, requiring measurement for each interval ΔTik, where i, k - numbers of a column and a line of the light guide image in the matrix. At the moment Tspec a light signal is generated, sent with the help of light guides into corner points of the matrix and fixed with the help of a digital recorder, and this signal is delayed relative to the start one by the specified value, radiation pulses are fixed in the same frame from light guides at the completing stage of the process, as well as time marks generated with the specified frequency, using the coordinates of corner points of the light guide matrix, and also knowing the number of columns m and lines n in it, through calculation they determine coordinates of all light guides at the moment Tspec, the difference of coordinates ΔXik is defined along the direction of image scan for each light guide at the moment of radiation of light pulses by them and at the moment Tspec. At the same time a recorder based on CCD-matrix is used, coordinates of light marks are coordinates of a pixel in the light guide image, which accumulated the maximum charge, using time marks, the speed of image scan is determined, intervals ΔTjk are found as the quotient from division of the appropriate difference of coordinates into the speed of scan, the sought for time intervals Tik are defined as a sum of intervals Tspec+ΔTik. |
