Product Overview

The NKST11-15 is a high-precision Sequence of Events (SOE) Time Synchronization Cable developed for the legacy Bailey Infi 90 and Net 90 Distributed Control Systems (DCS). This specialized interconnect is fundamental for maintaining temporal alignment across multiple controller nodes and I/O modules. By facilitating a unified time-stamping clock signal, the NKST11-15 ensures that process events, alarms, and trips are recorded with millisecond accuracy across the entire network. This level of synchronization is vital for post-fault analysis and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) in high-stakes industrial environments where the exact order of operational triggers must be verified.
