Data Storage
The P925TS-X interface card stores configuration data for all cards in the system.
Once a 9000TS System has been configured the user can replace any Input, Output
or Relay Card and all of the settings for the new card will be automatically updated
with the settings from the original card using stored configuration data held within the
P925TS-X interface card.
RTK strongly recommend that all configurations be saved to a separate source as a
back up before any alterations to the system are made.
The 9000TS system is designed for safety critical applications therefore all card types
are designed to be removed and re-inserted in the rack with power applied to ensure
that the remaining system continues to monitor during this phase.
Although the P925TS-X Interface Card stores configuration data for the associated
I/O cards the same data is also stored locally on the individual cards allowing the
alarm system to continue to operate as a conventional annunciator even if the
P925TS-X Interface Card is removed.
