ABB INTKM01 is a Time Keeper Master Module used in the ABB Bailey Harmony Sequence of Events (SOE) system architecture. This product page includes four selectable references: INTKM01, SPTKM01, NTST01 and SPTKM11. The range covers time keeper master module references and a related time synchronization termination unit for industrial control system maintenance and spare-parts procurement.
ABB documentation identifies INTKM01 as a module that receives external time information through an IRIG-B connection and distributes timing information to the sequence of events system. The NTST01 termination unit provides connection points for the external receiver signals and the time synchronization link. Customers should confirm the exact hardware reference and installed configuration before ordering.
Important: NTST01 is a termination unit, not a Time Keeper Master Module. The ordering references on this page are not automatically interchangeable.

ABB INTKM01 Time Keeper Master Module Overview
Accurate time information is important in distributed sequence of events monitoring. When an industrial control system records changes in equipment or process status, a common time reference helps personnel examine the order in which those events occurred.
The ABB Harmony SOE architecture uses dedicated hardware to distribute timing information across the event monitoring system. The INTKM01 Time Keeper Master Module is part of this arrangement and works with other compatible SOE components.
According to ABB’s Harmony Sequence of Events documentation, INTKM01 provides time information to the INSEM01 Sequence of Events Master Module and the wider distributed SOE system through the time synchronization link.
In the documented configuration, INTKM01 receives time information from an external receiver using an IRIG-B time code connection. It then transmits absolute time through an RS-485 time synchronization link.
NTST01 serves a different function. It is the termination unit associated with the INTKM01 connection arrangement and provides the connection points for the external receiver signals and time synchronization link.
SPTKM01 and SPTKM11 are included as additional requested Time Keeper Master Module ordering references. Their exact relationship to INTKM01, included components and revision requirements should be confirmed using the applicable ABB documentation.
Available ABB Time Keeper and Synchronization Models
| Model | Product Type | Ordering Notes |
|---|---|---|
| INTKM01 | Time Keeper Master Module | ABB-documented SOE timing module; verify installed revision. |
| SPTKM01 | Time Keeper Master ordering reference | Confirm exact ordering identity and package contents. |
| NTST01 | Time Synchronization Termination Unit | Provides connection points in the documented INTKM01 arrangement. |
| SPTKM11 | Time Keeper Master Module reference | Verify hardware generation, revision and compatibility. |
These four options are grouped for convenient purchasing. However, a termination unit and a master module perform different roles. Customers should select the exact model specified for their existing installation.
Time Synchronization Functions and System Integration
IRIG-B External Time Reference
ABB documentation describes an IRIG-B time code connection between the INTKM01 module and an external receiver. This connection allows the Time Keeper Master Module to receive time information used by the SOE system.
The external receiver and associated wiring must be considered as part of the complete timing arrangement. Customers should not assume that an external receiver or cable is included with an individual module quotation.
RS-485 Time Synchronization Link
The documented INTKM01 arrangement uses an RS-485 time synchronization link to distribute absolute time to the wider SOE system. This supports a common timing reference across compatible event monitoring equipment.
Actual installation requirements depend on the system configuration. Cable connections, termination arrangements and equipment compatibility should be checked against the relevant ABB instructions.
NTST01 Termination Unit Connections
The NTST01 is a dedicated termination unit used with the documented INTKM01 arrangement. It provides connection points for signals from the external time receiver and the time synchronization link.
Because the termination unit and Time Keeper Master Module have different functions, NTST01 must not be described as a direct replacement for INTKM01, SPTKM01 or SPTKM11.
Integration with Sequence of Events Equipment
ABB identifies INTKM01 as part of the INSOE01 Server Node arrangement, together with the INSEM01 Sequence of Events Master Module and the INNIS11 Network Interface Module.
The INSEM01 module manages SOE information within the documented architecture, while INTKM01 provides time information. Each module performs a distinct role in the overall event monitoring system.
For related industrial control hardware, explore the ABB Harmony BRC Bridge Controller range. These controllers are separate products and should not be treated as replacements for SOE timing equipment.
Industrial Applications
Sequence of events time synchronization is relevant to industrial facilities that use event records to review process and equipment changes. Typical environments may include power generation, petrochemical processing, chemical manufacturing, pulp and paper production, water treatment and other industrial process operations.
These industries are general examples of where ABB Bailey control systems may be installed. They do not imply that every model on this page is suitable for every facility.
Common purchasing requirements include replacing an identified timing module, maintaining an existing SOE server node, sourcing a compatible termination unit and preparing spare parts for scheduled plant shutdowns.
Before changing an installed timing arrangement, customers should verify the complete equipment configuration and follow the applicable manufacturer documentation.
How to Select the Correct ABB Time Keeper Module
Step 1: Identify the Required Hardware
Check whether the requirement is for a Time Keeper Master Module or a Time Synchronization Termination Unit. If the installed item is labeled NTST01, select the termination unit rather than a master module.
Step 2: Confirm the Complete Part Number
Record whether the required reference is INTKM01, SPTKM01, NTST01 or SPTKM11. Include any additional revision or ordering information printed on the existing hardware.
Step 3: Review the Installed SOE Architecture
Identify the existing ABB Bailey control system and its timing equipment. Where applicable, confirm the external receiver, termination unit and related SOE master modules.
Step 4: Verify Compatibility and Supply Contents
Do not assume that SPTKM01 or SPTKM11 can directly replace INTKM01. Request confirmation of the exact hardware version and included components before purchase.
Step 5: Request a Formal Quotation
Provide the complete model, quantity, delivery destination and any available photographs of the installed equipment label. Confirm product condition, availability, warranty and shipping arrangements before placing an order.
For official technical information, consult the ABB Library and search for the Harmony Sequence of Events documentation and relevant module manuals.
