Chapter 1: Introduction Figure 1-1 Redundancy Scheme Expansion Boxes The Expansion Boxes are supplied using the mains electrical supply. The Expansion Boxes communicate with the system’s Main Controller via RS485 through low voltage (24Vdc) communication cables (Auto- mation and Safety). Multiple Expansion Boxes can be used in one EDGE system. These Expansion Boxes are designed to accommodate various electronic cards (Expansion Plug-in Modules), each designed for different monitoring/control applications.
