1. Fault Tolerant Configuration
Welcome to the next generation of access controllers, PCSC’s patented Fault Tolerant Series. This Power Point Presentation is designed to help you configure your Fault Tolerant system. This requires you to have already reviewed the "Introduction to Fault Tolerant Controllers" and "Fault Tolerant, powered by Hydra" Power Point Presentations.

The ”Fault Tolerant System Architecture" is comprised of 3 components, Host System Software, Fault Tolerant Controllers and Communication. PCSC, through its own development as well as cooperative partner developments, offers 4 distinct Application software, LiNC-NXG, LiNC-Plus, LiNC-XS and EBI. The EBI software is only available through Honeywell, so please contact your Honeywell representative for availability and system requirements.
The Fault Tolerant controllers comprises of 3 types, Fault Tolerant Controller (FTC), Dual Door Module (DDM) and Single Door Modules (SDM). The FTC and DDM controllers have the ability to support 3 communication ports for a system with a triple redundant communication network.

The Fault Tolerant system includes the Fault Tolerant Controller (intelligence) and Door Modules (reader, door lock, door status, REX, I/O. The Fault Tolerant Controllers maintain the database for card authorization, alarms, outputs and system parameters for synchronizing database and firmware utilizing PCSC's Hydra. Door modules are available for 3 different applications; Dual Door Module or 2 doors, Single Door Module and all in one Single Door Module with incorporated Reader.

4. Basic Fault Tolerant Archtecture
Ethernet Network
This is an example of a typical system configuration, Host Application Software, Dual Fault Tolerant Controllers in Rack Mount with Vacuum Florescent Displays and Door Modules. Communication within the Fault Tolerant Architecture is Ethernet, PoE or XBee Pro DigiMesh technologies.

5. FT Configuration – “CLIQUE”
A Clique is a “group” of Fault Tolerant Controllers and Door Modules
Maximum 8 – Fault Tolerant Controllers
Maximum 112 – Door Modules (DDM/SDM)
Up to 224 readers
A Clique Communicates Information within itself and to the Host
No limit to the number of Cliques per system
The Fault Tolerant Architecture requires the use of "Cliques". A Clique is the system or a subset of the system depending on the size or application for your system. The operations within each Clique is independent. The size of a Clique is determined by the number of Fault Tolerant Controllers and Door Modules. A Clique can support up to 8 Fault Tolerant Controllers and up to 112 door modules or up to 224readers. A Host system can have as many "Cliques" as needed.

6. Design Recommendations
Fault Tolerant Controller Capabilities
Monitor and Control up to 16 DDM or SDM
Clique Size
Up to 8 FTC
Total 112 door control modules
Up to 224 readers if all controllers are DDM
When designing a system, PCSC recommends that a Fault Tolerant Controller "monitors and controls" up to 16 door modules (DDM or SDM).

7. Typical Enterprise Network Application
Clique 2
Clique 1
Clique 3
Cliques can be designed to fit your needs for Corporate security, Campus Facilities, multi-tenant buildings, etc. Each Clique is a subset of the system and operates independently.

8. Basic Door Architecture
Motion Detector
Ethernet
Battery Output
DDM
Fingerprint Reader with RFID Reader
The Dual Door Module can support 2 readers, 2 Door Lock outputs, 2 REX inputs, 2 Door Status inputs and up to 4 inputs. Reader installation is based on Wiegand output from the reader to the controller. Please consult the list of readers supported by PCSC. It is highly recommend to battery back up the controller and its connected devices for proper operation. The DDM provides a 12 VDC battery charger output for use with PoE networks or with power supplies that do not offer a battery charging output circuit.
RFID Reader with Keypad
Reader Cable Requirements to the Door:
6 conductor, 22 AWG, Stranded with overall Shield. Fingerprint Reader will require its own power cable (2 conductor, 18 AWG, stranded).

9. Door Installation Configuration A
Door Status
REX
Button
Card
Reader
Typical installation of a reader or reader with keypad installed on the non secured side of the doorway. Inside the secured area, door status and REX button installation is needed for proper exiting without causing a door alarm.

Magnetic Door Lock
Door Status
Card
Reader
In some installations, a PIR or Passive Infrared Detector (PIR) is installed to replace the REX and provide "automatic" exiting without user interface with a REX button.

CAT 5 or 6 Cable
The wiring installation at a door is the same as current IQ, SIM, IQELV and ULT series controllers. Communication from the Host to the DDM or SDM is Ethernet or PoE. One can use the PCSC composite cable from controller to the door to provide wiring for the Reader, Lock, Door Status and REX.

13. Door Connections for ALL PCSC Products
Wiegand Reader Connection
If you are familiar with other PCSC controllers, you will have no issues with the DDM series controllers. The installation position of the Wiegand Reader, Door Lock, REX or Door status has not changed.

One of the advantages of SDM ER series is to minimize installation to ONE Ethernet cable. The SDM ER series is the simplest way to "add" high security door to the Fault Tolerant Network, without adding the overhead of ”cable installation” requirements.

17. Single Cable Application—SDM ERP
Door Status
Door Lock
Utilizing the SDM ER series, Installation of door lock, door status and REX are directly connected to the SDM ER. All one needs to do to connect to the Fault Tolerant Network is to connect it to a Cat 5/6 Ethernet network with PoE. No need to install a power supply for the controller or lock!

18. SDM—Controller ONLY Door Status SDM Lock Reader To PoE Switch
installation of a SDM is identical to a DDM with PoE option. One connects the Reader, Door Lock, Door Status and REX to the SDM. The SDM is connected to a PoE switch to connect to the Fault Tolerant Network.

19. Multi-Tenant Application
Fault Tolerant Architecture is ideal for multi-tenant buildings providing high reliability systems for each tenant.

20. Legacy System Upgrade Requirements
Latest System Software

Supported Legacy Controllers
IQ, SIM, ULT series controllers
Upgrade Controller Communications
LANU
Terminal Servers
If you already have PCSC controllers, you should first upgrade your system to the latest system software and upgrade your controllers to communicate over Ethernet by adding the LANU card to your existing IQ or SIM series controller. Once your system is upgraded you will be able to add Fault Tolerant Controllers as your needs for expansion or for higher security needs.

21. Fault Tolerance Architecture with Legacy Controllers
