CHAPTER 3 - VCA Operation
The VoiceCom Controller version A, or VCA, as its name suggests, is the master controller of the VoiceCom system.
From the VCA, the VoiceCom system can be easily configured and interrogated. It controls the operation of the pre-
start alarm and it stores and plays pre-recorded audio messages. The VCA also allows for the VoiceCom system to
be interfaced with a control system such as a PLC, which provides remote monitoring. The VCA’s operation is best
explained by looking at the all of the VCA status and configuration display pages.
