Zhongxin Chuangwei provides clock synchronization equipment to Zhenhai Refining & Chemical.

Recently ， Zhenhai Refining & Chemical issued a requirement for a time server. Beijing Zhongxin Chuang promptly collaborated to develop a detailed solution and recommended its self‑developed and manufactured DNTS‑8 time server as the bid‑winning product. Following a fiercely competitive bidding process, Zhongxin Chuang stood out by offering high‑quality products and comprehensive after‑sales service, ultimately securing the contract over competitors’ offerings. And out, Ultimately, it won the Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Time Server Project.

The Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company, a subsidiary of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Zhenhai Refining & Chemical”), is a key enterprise under Sinopec. Originally established in 1975 as the Zhejiang Refinery, it underwent a comprehensive restructuring in 1994 and was reorganized into Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd., and… Hong Kong Stock Exchange Going public.

Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Developed independently by Zhongxin Chuang DNTS-8 Time Server After conducting a thorough evaluation, the results consistently exceeded the specified performance criteria, and we were highly satisfied with both our product quality and after-sales service. The procurement proceeded smoothly, and the products have now been put into operation.

The DNTS-8 time server, developed by Beijing Zhongxinchuang Technology Co., Ltd., is a high-tech, intelligent, stand-alone clock synchronization server that operates based on the NTP/SNTP protocols and delivers high precision. The DNTS-8 time server obtains standard clock signal information from GPS geostationary satellites and transmits this information across the network, enabling devices requiring time signals—such as computers and controllers—to synchronize with the standard clock. When all receivers lose signal, the DNTS-8 relies on its built-in temperature-compensated crystal oscillator for timekeeping, achieving a timing accuracy of up to 1E-9. The DNTS-8 uses standard clock information transmitted over TCP/IP networks and supports multiple popular time‑broadcasting protocols, including NTP and time/UDP; it can also accommodate custom‑defined time‑broadcast packets from Zhongxinchuang Technology, with configurable UDP ports. The port numbers for NTP and time/UDP are fixed at 123 and 37, respectively, as specified in RFC-123 and RFC-37. Additionally, the DNTS-8 supports the broadcast mode of the SNTP protocol.
