  Example (Railway or Underground Stations Network):
 
   In this block diagram we illustrate a typical example of installation in a Railway or Underground Stations Network, where there is a number of different stations, each one of them having its own independent equipment: local paging microphones, local music source, local pre-recorded messages, lines and amplifiers surveillance, etc.

All the stations are connected through a non-dedicated Fast Ethernet which, at the same time, links all the stations with a Control Central, from which it is possible to monitorize the status and integrity of all the remote stations, their components and their proper bi-directional transmission system. The Control Central combines desk-paging
microphones, dedicated control PCs for daily operation / paging and non-dedicated PCs for paging purposes only.
 
   
 
SMP-230 Microprocessor Control System:
   
 

The SMP-230 system is a very powerful Microprocessor Controlled Modular Audio Matrix. This modular system, made up of a 6U 19” mainframe and a number of cards for all the required functions (C.P.U., power supply, inputs, outputs, remote control, pre-recorded messages and alarms, noise sensors, PABX interface, etc.) allows for the customization of all types of specific centrals to meet all the initial requirements of the installation while permitting, at the same time, any future expansion.
  The capacity of the matrix is of 64 audio inputs and 996 audio outputs, to which the 512 inputs/outputs must be added via dry contacts and the possibility to integrate it with other external elements and systems (Building Management Systems, Fire Alarm Centrals, Presence Detectors, etc.), via RS-232 protocols.
  Configuration and programming of SMP-230 can be done from any external, non dedicated P.C.. These parameters and configurations are kept in the own’s system solid state C.P.U., which can be reprogrammed at any time.
  When a Control P.C. is assigned permanently to the SMP-230, the system can also be accessed and configured from any other computer connected to the same L.A.N., via a P.C. Anywhere® application.
 

The SMP-230 is a Microprocessor Control System designed for Public Address, Voice-Alarm and Evacuation messages applications.

  Example (Installation in a Refinery):
 
  This example illustrates an installation in a Refinery, with 40 indoor and outdoor paging zones. There is a total of 4 Desk Paging Microphones and also a PABX DTMF adaptor, to access to the P.A. system from any telephone handset within the installation.

The system is interfaced with a Fire and Gas alarm system and also to the general Building Management System. The system automatically activates flashing lights / beacons in each of the zones during the paging, to attract the attention of the operators.

A main Control Computer permits permanent access to all the parameters and configuration of the system and it holds the prerecorded alert and alarm messages, which can be released from the P.C. and Microphone Desks, from manual push-buttons spread around the installation and also automatically from the Fire and Gas Alarm  systems.
 
 
 
 
SMP-94 Microprocess Control System:
 

The system consists of two basic elements, the SMP-94RS microphone desk and the SMP-94R decoder, which solve most of the installations requirements where a zones selection system is required. This system can be used for installations from the ones with many transmission points and with different priority levels amongst the desks, to the most simple ones with only one transmission point.
  The system allows up to 744 different zones. In special cases, this number can be increased.
 

One of the most important characteristics of the system is that it includes a function of repetition and waiting queue of messages, with very simple operations, that allows to start it working very quickly and without needing a special training.
  To make it work properly, it is advisable to use the OPTIMUS C-384PV1 cable for the communication bus and for a maximum length of 1.200 m according to EIA specifications for RS-485 standard.
