The CPS central controller
The central controller is available in a 19” 4U (rack-mount) version or in a wall-mount version. It is
designed to control:
▪ 256 digital modules distributed over 8 lines, with a maximum of 32 modules per line;
▪ 256 addressable relays max. distributed across all relay modules;
▪ 224 logic inputs max. distributed across all logic input modules and relay modules.
▪ 256 analog outputs max. distributed across 4 analog outputs modules.
Modules are connected through a digital RS-485 network using JBUS/MODBUS protocol.
The central controller connects to 256 toxic sensors, and runs on only 24 Watts.
The central controller can be connected to a supervision system via an RS-485 output interface
using ModBus protocol.
Optional features include:
- a battery back-up, ensuring continual operation in case of a power outage (approx. 1 hour for
50 TOX-type sensors);
- an integrated printer (rack-mounted version only) for recording alarms and events;
- an external printer (for both rack- and wall-mounted versions).
Digital addressable modules
Various digital addressable modules can be positioned on the same line.
