PCSC offers the world’s first Fault Tolerant (FT) controller series, creating the highest level of reliability with its automated process of system recovery for access control, alarm monitoring and output control systems. The FT Architecture (FTA) is the next evolution of building security management designed with a Virtual Point Definition network, integrated peer-to-peer and redundant communications. The FT system is designed to automatically recover regardless of communication or controller failure. The FT system may be designed with an “Active/Active” or “Active/Inactive” system architecture. If for any reason a primary controller fails, an alternate controller shall automatically take over the duties of the failed controller. The progression of successors to a faulty controller shall continue to provide security without any degradation in system operations. The FTA consists of one or more Fault Tolerant Controllers (FTC) and Door Interface Modules (DIM). The FTCs and DIMs are designed with an Open Standards Operating System utilizing Hydra Protocol to provide the highest level of system operations and reliability.
