Sensory Network
The Versus software reacts according to the badge and tag information it receives from
the Versus hardware and sensory network. The hardware drives the data input and every
software decision. For that reason, the success of a Versus system relies intrinsically on
the accuracy of the sensory network. Versus insists on the highest level of accuracy in
the sensory layout and installation because it is the foundation for functional results and
useful software data.
1. V-Direct Sensors
Sensors receive signals from badges, convert them into electrical signals and
pass the data along to Collectors. Up to 24 Sensors can be connected to a
Collector, although Versus recommends no more than 20-22 initially to allow for
future expansion. Sensors are usually mounted in the ceiling tiles of a facility, or
they can be placed in standard electrical junction boxes where required by local
building codes.
