Series 5000 Control Topology
Series 5000 Controller
A typical LYNX Technik Series
5000 signal processing system
consists of rack frames with
boards, rack controllers, and the
LynxCentraal Control system.
Each Series 5000 rack frame
requires an RCT 5023-G. For large
configurations,
an
optional
dedicated control server running
the system software, can be
added. The rack controller and the
control
server
are
logically
attached to each other via an IP
network.
The RCT 5023-G is the basic
controller card and is all you need
to connect a Series 5000 2RU rack frame to the LynxCentraal Control software.
The controller card has a LAN network interface that uses the LAN connection on
the terminal plate of the rack frame. All LAN related settings are stored on an
internal flash memory. Each controller card in one system needs to have an
individual IP-address.
OH-RCT5023-SVR
The OH-RCT5023-SVR option is an inde-
pendent Linux Server with its own IP-
address. For power and LAN connection it is
clipped as a piggyback onto the RCT 5023-
G controller card.
Adding the OH-RCT5023-SVR option to a
system, enables features like full SNMP
support, Backup-Restore for the complete system and many more.
