PLAN400 series Hardware
| At the heart of every PLAN system are networked xPLAN400 control units. To maintain the highest level of system fault tolerance, each advanced xPLAN400 is a complete, fully functional, integrated access control and alarm monitoring system in its own right. This means that the system can continue functioning even when disconnected from the Central Control System (e.g. when offline) the system continues to allow only valid cardholders through their selected doors and at their authorised times. It will also store card and alarm events in memory until communications are restored at which time, the xPLAN400 will inform the main PC of all access control decisions made while offline. |  |
Integrated Alarm Monitoring
Each xPLAN400 features 16 extended alarm inputs for monitoring third party equipment and standard alarm input devices (such as door contacts and Passive Infrared Detectors). These circuits are supervised with an end of line resistor to prevent tampering or bypass attempts. Using the local alarm capabilities of the xPLAN400 combined with the advanced alarm handling and management features of the PLAN640 software the PLAN system can form the basis of a centralised alarm monitoring system for large single buildings or wide area estates.
PLAN400 local controller communications
The PLAN system offers the installer a high degree of flexibility in communication, including:
- TCP/IP (LAN)
- PSTN Dial-up connection
- Digital short range PLAN400 radio link
- RPC - redundant path communications module
