Our INTRON-X is a state-of-the-art modular IP-based platform for scalable Intercom, PA/GA and PA solutions. The INTRON-X provides solutions for all types of industrial communication needs and requirements.
There are five main INTRON-X modules: XCO, XDG, XIO, XAL and XBC
You already know more than half of our X-Modules. Last time we introduced you to our module which controls inputs and outputs – the XIO. This module is mainly used for the connection to a Fire & Gas system via contacts. Today we want to present our XAL – a module for the connection of analog audio components.
The Best Solution to Connect Audio Components
Our XAL is the further development of the NSG the IP Interface for analog systems. The NSG was used to connect an INDUSTRONIC system to analog systems from different manufacturers.
Now our XAL has all the basic functions of our XIO and in addition 6 analog audio interfaces with 2 x 4-wire audio in full duplex and 4 x 2-wire audio with half duplex. With the XAL module you can connect up to 6 analog audio components – analog intercom stations as well as interconnect INDUSTRONIC systems and third-party systems.
Since the control inputs and outputs are divided into separate groups of 12, it is possible to connect two systems at different voltage potential to one XAL module.
The module also has 2 Ethernet interfaces, which allow for redundant network access. If one network interface fails, data is transmitted via the second one. The XAL has an integrated automatic self-monitoring function. The internal electronics are powered via PoE (with redundancy) or a separate DC supply.
Additional Features
Phantom power can be applied via the 2-wire audio interface. Phantom power means power feeding via the 2-wire connection for the internal circuit and supply of analog intercom stations. Therefore, it is possible to transmit a DC supply voltage up to 72 V. This phantom power is a proven type of remote power supply for signal sources in the terminal device, like the internal circuit or an amplifier.
Use the terminal and fuse block 6 XAFTB 001 to protect and constantly monitor six analog terminal devices with additional power. This allows for a quick reaction in case of a fault indication.
It is possible that IOs can be redundantly connected to 2 different XAL modules ensuring their availability to the IOs. In the event that one XAL fails, the second one takes over.
Together with flexible redundancy concepts (A+B and Hot-Standby) the XAL ensures continuous operation and maximum system availability.
Compact Industrial Design
The INTRON-X modules have a uniform and fanless industrial design. One module has a width of only 1/3 19″ and a height of 1 RU. All modules have the same size so that 3 of them can be flexibly combined in a 19″ chassis or other suitable location by using the appropriate chassis. This allows a decentralized and centralized installation – just as your project requires it. Thanks to IP all INTRON-X components are interconnected via the network.
The XAL can be supplied via an external DC power supply. Commissioning is done via software tools from INDUSTRONIC.
The module is supplied with all necessary accessories allowing for a seamless start right out of the box. This means that all required cables and terminal blocks are included in a so-called Preferred Module.
