Introduction
The Protege GX DIN Rail Single Door Controller is the central processing unit responsible for the control of
security, access control and building automation in the Protege GX system. It communicates with all system
modules, stores all configuration and transaction information, processes all system communication, and reports
alarms and system activity to a monitoring station or remote computer.
Protege GX is an enterprise level integrated access control, intrusion detection and building automation
solution with a feature set that is easy to operate, simple to integrate, and effortless to extend.
Flexible module network architecture allows large numbers of modules to be connected to the RS-485 module
network. Up to 250 modules can be connected to the Protege system in any combination to the network, over a
distance of up to 900M (3000ft). Further span can be achieved with the use of a network repeater module.
The current features of the Controller include:
⦁Internal industry-standard 10/100 Ethernet
⦁32 Bit advanced RISC processor with 2Gb total memory
⦁2 high security monitored inputs
⦁NIST Certified AES 128, 192 and 256 Bit Encryption
