Autonomous robots and complex industrial applications require precise synchronization of numerous sensors and systems. Vecow (distributor plug-in) has developed the Time Sync Box VTS-1000 for this purpose. It synchronizes the internal clocks of the sensors and connected computing systems. A comprehensive software toolset enables rapid integration. The series includes three models: The VTS-1100 has five sync-out channels and a GNSS input for receiving system-independent time data. The VTS-1200 model offers eight sync-out interfaces and supports RTK RTCM for centimeter-accurate positioning. The VTS-1200GU has a dual GNSS module for even more precise, satellite-based positioning and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for precise motion detection. All variants are based on a Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC.
