56 Module 124: Protege GX Hardware Overview | The Protege PCB Range
Connectivity and System Expansion
Onboard local zone (input) and PGM (output) allows convenient cost effective expansion without the increased
cost of modules for simple system functions:
16 onboard zone inputs can each be programmed to require EOL (End Of Line), Dual EOL or direct contact
2 Bell/Siren Outputs with fully monitored operation
Use the Protege Alphanumeric LCD Keypad to expand the number of LCD keypads within an installation
Zone expansion is provided on nearly all modules as part of the Protege Systems integrated structure and
provides a dual function for many of the zone input configurations. Use the Protege 16 Zone Input Expander
to expand the number of zone inputs on the Protege System.
Output expansion is provided directly on the module network by the Protege 16 PGM Output Expander and
incorporates 16 high current FORM C relays and fire control functions
Expand the access control reader connections with the Protege Mini, Standard, Intelligent, or Ethernet
Reader Expander. All provide 2 additional readers (or 4 Wiegand) and various options with local
autonomous operation, power supply and Ethernet options.
Integration
Link the Protege System with intelligent locking solutions through Integrated Control Technologies
comprehensive world class solution partners Hi-O Technology, Aperio and TZ.
Communication
RS-485 communication interface for module communication, onboard 2400bps modem with dual line input,
and a 10/100 Ethernet communications port gives a complete solution:
Network RS-485 port used for all network communication functions and interconnects to other modules
with full galvanic isolation
Onboard 2400bps modem interface to allow all popular alarm reporting formats and the ability for remote
connection from the Protege System Management Suite
10/100Mbps Ethernet interface for communication with the Protege System Management Suite and other
applications and functions
Multifunction Reporting Services
Utilizing the latest functionality in communication services the Controller incorporates a host of communication
options:
Monitor telephone line inputs using the monitor phone service and answer incoming calls on local modem
interface using answer machine override and high security remote call back options
Report alarms using Contact ID, SIA Level 2
Communicate with terminal programs using the Telnet Terminal option and output the data in ASCII, HEX
with custom format options and acknowledgement settings to allow connection of third party applications
directly to the Protege Controller
Send IP based reporting protocols using the onboard Ethernet communication interface and Protege IP
Reporting ArmorIP formats
