Distributed Intelligence ArchitectureTypical Security Architecture Partial Failure
Summary • Current Systems have a vulnerability • Partial or Total Depending on the Architecture • Controller Failure • Everything within the controls are affected • Distributed Intelligence has the least impact • Master Controller Architecture has Total Failure • Communication is a point of Vulnerability
Fault Tolerance Architecture Is a means of System Recovery utilizing “Automated System Reconfiguration” provided through Dynamic Network Architecture (DNA) with little or no impact on system security or operations upon a failure within any of the components of the system.
Fault Tolerant Architecture • Eliminates “Single Point of Failure” • Ability to Automatically“Recover” upon failure due to: • Primary or Secondary Communication Failure • Hardware Failure of a FTC (s) • Firmware Failure • Real-time Dynamic Network Architecture • Automatically “takes” over the duties of a failed FTC • Provide 100% Distributed Intelligence • Real-time decisions are made by the FTC • Hydra Protocol • FTC Network Administrator • Peer to Peer • Database Management • Eliminates System Failure!!! • Eliminates “Emergency Calls”
FT Architecture Components • Host System (LiNC-NXG, Plus, XS, EBI*) • Fault Tolerant Controller (FTC) • Supports 16-32 DIM (Door Interface Modules) • 100% Distributed Intelligence • Global I/O • Global Entry-Exit • Door Interface Modules • DDM – 2 Reader Controller • SDM – 1 Reader Controller
Fault Tolerant (FT) Architecture with Hydra Protocol Dual Door Module REX Door Status Door Lock FTC 1 FTC 2 Host PoE Switch to “n” numberof Door Controllers Door Readers
Fault Tolerant (FT) Architecture with Hydra Protocol DDM Command and Control routed from FTC 1 to FTC 2 REX Door Status FTC 1 (Fails) FTC 2 Host PoE Switch to “n” numberof Door Controllers Door Readers
Fault Tolerant (FT) Architecture with Hydra Protocol Command and Control Automatically routed to FTC “n” Dual Door Module FTC 1 (Fails) FTC 2 (Fails) FTC 3 FTC 4 Door Readers to “n” numberof Doors
Communication Routing Architecture Utilizing Secondary or Tertiary Paths
XBee Pro DigiMesh • Wireless Communication • Approved for use in “All Countries” • 100 meters within buildings • Over 1K meters line of site communication • Auto setup of Mesh Network • Uses other XBee Pro devices as relay points • More XBee Pro Devices, more Robust
