Zhongxin Chuangwei provides a time synchronization server to Tianjin Bohai Chemical Group Co., Ltd.

Zhongxin Chuangwei provides a time synchronization server to Tianjin Bohai Chemical Group Co., Ltd.

Recently, Tianjin Bohai Chemical Group Co., Ltd. issued a request for proposals for time servers. Beijing Zhongxin Chuang promptly collaborated to develop a detailed solution and recommended its independently developed and manufactured DNTS‑8 time server as the bid‑winning product. Following a fiercely competitive bidding process, Zhongxin Chuang stood out thanks to its high‑quality products and comprehensive after‑sales service, ultimately securing the contract for the time‑server project from Tianjin Bohai Chemical Group Co., Ltd.

Tianjin Bohai Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Bohai Group”) is a state-owned enterprise group under the jurisdiction of Tianjin Municipality. Its predecessors include the Jiuda Salt Works, founded in 1914 by the renowned patriotic industrialist Mr. Fan Xudong; the Yongli Alkali Plant, established in 1917; and the Yellow Sea Chemical Industry Research Institute, set up in 1922. These institutions are widely regarded as the cradle of China’s alkali industry and the birthplace of modern chemical manufacturing.

Tianjin Bohai Chemical Group Co., Ltd. conducted an in-depth evaluation of the DNTS-8 time server independently developed by Zhongxin Chuang. The results consistently exceeded the specified performance parameters, and the company expressed high satisfaction with both our product quality and after-sales service, proceeding to place a successful order and put the system 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 with configurable UDP ports, as specified by Zhongxinchuang Technology. The port numbers for NTP and time/UDP are fixed at 123 and 37, respectively, as designated in RFC-123 and RFC-37. Additionally, the DNTS-8 supports the broadcast mode of the SNTP protocol.

Product dimensions	19-inch 1U
Receiver	Built-in GPS receiver
Built-in clock	Built-in temperature-compensated crystal oscillator; even when satellite signals are lost, it continues to output a standard time signal.
Liquid crystal display	LCD displays time in two lines of 20 characters each, showing the current time, the number of satellites, and the device’s operating status. LEDs indicate power status, satellite lock status, holdover operation, alarms, and NTP validity.
Throughput	Can handle 2,000 time requests per second per port.
Local Alarm	Supports SNMP alarms, local dry-contact alarm output, current rating 10A.
Output interface	RS232/485, IRIG-B, 10M, 1PPS, 10 MHz sine wave output, BNC connector 1 PPS output, BNC connector IRIG-B code output, BNC interface IRIG-B code input, BNC interface RS232 output, supports the TL1 protocol.
Input interface	Serial port input; time can be set manually, and it can serve as an external clock source.
Timekeeping function	Even when satellite signals are lost, it must still output a standard time signal, with the precision of the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator reaching 1E-12 or better.
Encryption Verification	Provides MD5 encryption verification functionality.
Network management functions	It features comprehensive SNMP network management capabilities.
Feature Expansion	Supports expanding to select other functional modules.
Settings Management	Supports configuration and management via web pages, Telnet, and other methods.
Timekeeping Record	Time‑synchronization logs can be viewed via the web interface and Telnet; the installed software can store an unlimited number of records.
UDP operating mode	Provides the UDP broadcast protocol, enabling connection to electronic clock LED displays. You can configure at least eight UDP remote IP addresses and port numbers: Output the newly created science and technology time data packet: A total of 32 bytes, with the following details: Offset Description 00...01 year (00...99) 02...03 months (01...12) 04...05 day (01...31) 06...07 hours (00...23) 08...09 points (00...59) 10...11 seconds (always 00) 12 weeks (1-Mon, 2-Tue, ...) 13 Daylight Saving Time Flag (0-no, 1-yes) 14 String terminator, ‘\0’ 15 String terminator, ‘\0’ 16...19 32-bit CET/CST time in UNIX format 20...23 32-bit GMT time in UNIX format 24...31 All 0
