54 Module 124: Protege GX Hardware Overview | The Protege PCB Range
The Protege PCB Range
The Controller
...is the central processing unit responsible for the control of security, access control and automation in the
Protege integrated system.
Ethernet 10 / 100 Connection
Controllers provide onboard Ethernet communication allowing direct connection from a local PC or
interconnection to an existing LAN/WAN:
 Directly connect the Protege System Management Suite across a LAN or WAN interface for instant
connection and upload download
 IP reporting functionality using the Protege IP Reporting protocol, Contact ID over IP, SIA over IP and full
text reporting methods. The Protege IP Reporting protocol requires the Protege IP Reporting Bridge
application operating on the remote machine or device with a suitable communications driver for the
automation software being used.
 Full 10/100 compliant network interface allows the Protege Controller to connect to all networks at the
maximum capable signaling rate. Indication of link status, signaling rate and data transmission/reception
shown on LED status indicators.
Local Monitored Power Supply
The Controller operates from a 16VAC input, utilizing a low cost transformer and providing a fully monitored
12VDC power solution using:
 Deep discharge prevention of the battery with automatic electronic cut-off
 Manual or processor controlled battery charge selection of 350mA or 700mA
 Intelligent charging algorithm monitors battery and AC supply allowing optimum performance to be
achieved using standard lead acid batteries
 Monitored signals for Battery Low/Disconnect and AC Failure using local trouble zones
Integrated Arming/Disarming
Controllers feature advanced integration of arming and disarming solutions for control of up to 250 alarm areas:
 Deny access to a user based on the status of the area and the ability for the user to control the area they
are entering in turn reducing false alarms
 Implement bank vault areas to control and manage time delayed access and unlocking in banking facilities
without the need for extra hardware control devices
 Prevent access to a keypad using a card and PIN function or allow card presentation to automatically login
the user at the associated keypad
 Disarm an area associated with an elevator floor on access when using the destination reporting option or
prevent the user from gaining access to the floor based on the area status associated with the floor
 Arm large numbers of areas using area groups
