Rack systems are used for grouping VIP detector boards together with a communication board while providing the necessary power supply and interfacing connections.

Typical Installation:

• For a typical installation, several VIP boards (possibly serving different types of applications) are integrated into a standard 19" rack.
• Communication options of the boards are serial (RS232/RS485), Ethernet or open collector outputs.
• A communication board (VIEWCOM/E, VICCOM/E) provides remote monitoring, remote set-up and the ability to change detector configurations remotely.
• The communication board uses dialup or leased lines, fibre optic or other means for communication.
• On the host computer at the control centre, the Traffic Management Software monitors the detection systems.
