3 1 2 Digital I/O
Eight built-in digital inputs can be software configured as either “wet” (detects external
voltage) or “dry” (detects an external contact closure) contacts. Each input can be
configured, alone or in combination with other inputs and internal system states, to
control virtually any PAGASYS GEN II function, including broadcasts, beacons, and digital
outputs.
Eight built-in digital outputs provide relay closures to external equipment. Digital outputs
can be configured to open or close in response to virtually any combination of digital
inputs and internal system states.
3 1 3 Access Panels
Up to eight PAGASYS GEN II access panels and/or mic stations can be connected.
3 1 4 PAGASYS GEN II I/O Cards
Any combination of up to 63 PAGASYS GEN II I/O cards can be connected to provide
additional I/O, cabinet fan control and monitoring, and beacon control and monitoring.
3.1.5 PAGASYS GEN II Amplifiers
PAGASYS GEN II amplifier chassis can be connected, providing up to 128 amplifiers,
optionally including standby amplifiers and ISMT support.
3 1 6 System Robustness
GENII-RCs can function as individual nodes or in combination with other controllers.
For redundancy, each node can be configured as high-integrity (A/B controllers sharing
I/O boards and amplifiers) or as fully duplicated (A/B controllers each with their own I/O
boards and amplifiers).
Each node, whether standalone, high-integrity, or duplicated, can also participate in a
PAGASYS GEN II network system. Network systems are fully heterogeneous, supporting
combinations of standalone, high-integrity, and duplicated nodes of both GENII-RCs and
GEN II full controllers. GAPs can be configured to communicate with multiple nodes to
ensure system alarm activation and monitoring even in the face of local failures.
GENII-RCs continually run self-checks to ensure that any fault is detected and reported in
a timely manner.
