Audio Station Select with Supervised Callins and
Optional DPS based Voice Threshold Alarming.
Neural Net is an integrated Access Control and Building
Automation concept based on LonWorks® Technology, combined with the power and functionality of a PLC. Neural Net uses neural technology as a backbone communications platform from which programmable logic controller (PLC) ladder programming can be launched through peer-to-peer communications and free topology implementation.


LONWORKS
Network Topology is free of choice. Star, Loop, and Buss
Topology can be used and mixed freely. A panel or a group of panels can be connected to the Intra/Internet via a LonWorks to Ethernet Router.

With an open standard LonTalk® SNVT communication, the 8-IC-12V is interoperable with a broad range of other LonWorks based products and systems. Door Locks, Point Status Monitoring, Audio Switching, Elevator Control, Control of Lighting, Heating, Ventilation, Energy Consumption, CCTV, are just some of the integration options. Perfect for distributed detention door control.

FLEXIBILITY
Neural Net supports a distributed Peer-to-Peer functionality between I/O Points across panels on a network: An I/O Point on one 8-IC-12V can directly control functions on other devices.

Think BIG, start small. One 8-IC-12V may be enough, but when more I/O’s are needed, the system is expandable with more Access Control and Smart PLC panels. 64 panels are possible on the same net segment. Segments connect via Repeaters, and the total number of panels can run into the thousands.

LonWorks and LonTalk are registered Trademarks of the Echelon Corporation.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • 8 Non-Supervised or Supervised Inputs which are software configurable as Digital or Analog.
  • 8 DPST 60 Watt audio grade Relays.
  • All Inputs are over voltage clamp protected and series current limited.
  • 16 LED I/O indicators, one for each Input and each Output point.
  • Additional onboard indicators for diagnostics. Power, Processor Health, Transmit, and Service.
  • 800 Transactions in battery backed database FIFO storage. Oldest transactions are overwritten by newest after buffer is full.
  • Transaction buffer can maintain stored transactions for at least a year.
  • Supply of 12VDC power for monitored point source power. Inputs are source driven.
  • All I/Os are programmable through the Ladder Logic such as AND, OR, and IF operators. Also, across panels through peer-to-peer operation.
  • NC-AB8 plugs into Neural standard 3 and 7- slot rack style back planes (BP-3 or BP-7).
  • Field termination is through plug in connectors.
  • LonTalk Communication Port TP/FT-10 78Kbit.
  • Supports Star, Loop, and Buss Network Topology.
  • Ethernet connection via LonWorks – TCP/IP Gateway.

    GLOBAL FACILITY MANAGE    R
    With Neural Net GFM software (Global Facility
    Manager), all functions and I/O in the entire
    system are under control from a fully
    configurable graphical interface. GFM is a
    WinNT/2000 based multi-user system with
    facilities such as a Cardholder database with
    integrated Badging, CCTV Camera and animated
    Real Time Point Status on Dynamic Graphic
    Screens.
