PLB-CF10 CardFrame
Product Information
The Landmark Cardframe (FIG. 1) serves as "mission control" for the entire Landmark system.
Equipped with an MCU (Master Control Unit) card, the Cardframe supplies onboard processing
and memory, controlling interactions between internal plug-in control cards and additional
cardframes, hubs, keypads, touch panels, lighting, audio switches, and other devices connected to
the PHASTLink network.
Only one MCU card is used in a Landmark system, but additional cardframes can be easily added
to accommodate more plug-in control cards. This allows Landmark systems to control any size
project and to grow with your changing automation needs.
Each Landmark Cardframe holds ten cards (1 MCU + 9 other cards in the first cardframe,
10 control cards in each additional cardframe).
A Landmark Cardframe with an MCU card can serve as a stand-alone system controller, or the
system may be set up to be controlled by a PC running Landmark software, using the MCU as a
backup in case of PC failure. The connection to a system PC is via a high-speed Ethernet cable.
A 15-port PHASTLink hub is built into the Landmark Cardframe. Additional PHASTLink hub
boxes can be added to accommodate any size system. Housed in an elegant black enclosure that
matches other Landmark large-chassis products, Landmark Cardframes can be rack or shelf
mounted.
