Lynx RCT 5023 G Rack Controller

The RCT 5023 G Rack controller is the latest controller from LYNX Technik. This is a one stop solution for all the controller needs in any new system. The controller features LAN connectivity so it’s a simple case of installing each LYNX rack frame with a RCT 5023 G controller and connecting to a network. The APPolo control system will unify all connected network devices into the central control system.

The plug in server option for the RCT 5023G (model# OH-RCT5023-SERVER) will remove the system host requirement from the APPolo PC into the RCT 5023 G  controller itself. This is recommended for larger installations. (The APPolo PC(s) then become clients to the system). A second RCT 5023 server can be installed into a system for redundant backup.

Auto Control
The RCT 5023 G (with the server option) also supports the new AutoControl software plug in. (model OC-AUTOCONTROL-BASE). This provides user programmable system automation. The automation is based on monitoring user defined events in the system which then triggers a defined reaction. AutoControl will function on internal system events and can also react with the outside world via multiple GPI and GPO interfaces.

Other software plug in options includes:
OC-RSL-FUNC – Provides User Access Control + system wide Backup and Restore
OC-RSL-CTRL – Provides full SNMP support for the system + access to the remote control protocol

LYNX Server Option (OH_RCT5023_SERVER)
The RCT 5023 RackController board can host a LYNX Server option (OH_RCT5023_SERVER). This option uses the same network connector (RJ45) as the host R CT 5023 RackController to connect to a APPolo Conrol System in the Local Area Network (LAN). If this option (OH_RCT5023_SERVER) was supplied as part of a system it is already installed on a RCT 5023 module. If the module was supplied as a field upgrade please follow the installation procedure given in the installation guide: Link
