9 Master Controller Installation
The Mojix Master Controller (MCON) is an application server capable of running on a number of
platforms to support the Mojix STAR system. The MCON is built on a scalable architecture that
allows seamless coordination and aggregation of an entire network of distributed STAR systems
across one or multiple facilities. Its applications include a Real Time Location System (RTLS)
and portal or dock door operations which provide transition detection and rejection of closely
staged RFID tags. The MCON’s RTLS function uniquely identifies and locates items in real-time
and is able to handle extensive data collection requirements with a high level of accuracy. The
MCON publishes tag data directly to enterprise applications via EPC ALE without the need of
middleware typically used to collect and filter tag information. The diagram below provides a
summary of the MCON’s interfaces, functions, and applications.
Figure 21: MCON Architecture
The MCON is offered in a high-availability platform with a robust redundancy capability within
the hardware components of the MCON as well as for automatic failover redundancy of an
entire MCON to secondary system. Internally, the MCON features hot-swap power supplies and
six (6) hot-swap hard drives running in a RAID5 configuration that allows for a single drive
failure without disruption of any MCON functions. Replacement drives only need to be inserted
in place of the failed drive for the system to fully recover.
