sat-nms IO-FEP MNC Front-end Processor
The sat-nms IO-FEP MNC Front-end Processor interfaces to any low level interface commonly used in satellite ground stations like equipment alarm contacts, waveguide- or coaxial-switches and other status signals. It provides opto-coupled in- and outputs and potential free relay output contacts. All these interfaces are then monitored and controlled locally in the sat-nms IO-FEP.
You can also integrate the sat-nms IO-FEP seamlessly in our sat-nms MNC. But also the integration in other monitoring solutions is possible because of SNMP, HTTP and RS232 interfaces. The sat-nms IO-FEP works also as a stand-alone system with a user-friendly web browser interface and an integrated event and alarm log.
sat-nms IO-FEP Key Features
- Ethernet interface for SNMP and HTTP
- Web browser user interface
- Serial RS232 interface
- 32 or 48 digital inputs
- 6 relay outputs and 10 opto-coupler outputs
- 8 or 16 connectors for waveguide switches
- Includes redundancy switching functionality
- Supports RF inhibit contacts of waveguide switches and HPAs
- Including temperature measurement with up to 4 external PT-1000 sensors
- Integrated alarm/ event logging
- Compact design and mounted on a DIN-rail
- Interfaces to any higher level M&C System
