The system generates and distributes a timing information with the resolution of 1 ms from common source to all machines of the complex via multiplexed channel based on MIL1553 standard. The paper describes types of the timing information, format of messages, HW components of their transmission and utilization. The system reliability and diagnostics problems are discussed, results of the long term test of the system segment prototype are presented.
