Overview

In the Advantech Wireless redundant SSPA systems, the internal controller in each SSPA unit performs the role of redundancy control. The family of Remote Control Panels is provided as accessories for remote monitoring and manual control of the system parameters. A variety of operating options are available to cover a multitude of systems

All redundancy functionality resides in SSPAs or BUCs, not in this panel. This remote control panel is used for the control and display of operational parameters of the monitored system, mimicking position of the redundancy switches.

The front panel LED and Display provide full access to the operating parameters of the system being monitored and provides with capability of changing the operating parameters.  The rear panel of the nits holds all external communications connectors including parallel discrete interface (DP9 F), RS485 Slave – RS485DCE (DB9 F), RS485 DTE (DB9 M), optional Ethernet and two AC connectors (85 – 264 VAC).

The Serial RS485 Slave Interface is used for the connection to a Network Management System (NMS) or to a PC. The M&C panel will be the slave and the NMS (or PC) will be the master in this configuration.

The Keypad is used to navigate through the various menus provided by the alpha-numeric display.
