Preface
Features of Intelligence Controller:
Functional Features:
1: Specially integrate the principals of RS485 sharing device of our company. Serial embedded
DVR and common PCDVR jointly control PTZ to facilitate both client program and the site;
2: Any devices paralleled with RS485 bus can be configured with individual protocol and baud
rate, which skillfully enhances the system flexibility;
3: Add some new functional keys, which enhance fast control of PTZ;
4: Online update program. If the protocols required by customers are not built in the intelligence
controller, our company can generate corresponding upgrade programs based on customer-offered
protocols. What customers should do is to upgrade the firm program of controller through RS485
communication connection on the computer.
Operational Features:
1: Operation, setting and search can be clearly displayed on the liquid crystal display (LCD);
2: Controlling the wobble amplitude of joystick can control rotating frequency of PTZ, and the
wobble amplitude can be displayed on the LCD;
3: Changing setting parameters need entering password, so it is safe, reliable and error operation
prevented;
4: Single key search is easy and safe, which clearly not only displays setting parameters, but also
prevents parameters modifying by mistake.
Compatible Features:
1: Available in 12 PTZ and decoder protocols. Be able to add new protocols as required and online
update;
2: Be able to control 255 PTZs, the address code of decoder is from 0 to 254;
3: Support slave serial control, be able to cascade 16 slave controllers. The controller ID is from 0
to 15.
Material Features:
1: Correct and reliable ALPS remote joystick;
2: The keys with 5 million clicks are reliable, wary touched and have prompt sound;
3: large and clear LCD:
4: Standard RS485 signal input and output interfaces use photoelectric isolator, and have enhanced
anti-interference ability. The standard transmission distance is up to 1200m;
5: Standard interface makes connection easy, fast and simple.
