The ELSAP-14 system is the natural evolutionary step forward from the tested, tried, valued and widely used ELSAP-05 system. The modular design architecture is retained for an extremely flexibility and freedom of configuration. The new system also has full backward compatibility with the ELSAP-05 modules.
The ELSAP-14 extends the predecessor with new modules based on 32-bit microprocessors. Among them is a high-performance application module, a dedicated I/O module and a visualisation module, complete with a 5.6” full colour graphical display and a synoptic interface panel. Now the range of available enclosures features the new SM-300 family, as shown in the figure above.

Each ELSAP controller is based on dedicated and certified modules, which intercommunicate over the internal system bus. While the ELSAP-05 family was based on an RS-485 bus, the ELSAP-14 comes with an efficient CAN bus support. The system supports belong to specific functional groups: input modules, output modules, application modules, communication modules and visualisation modules.

The input modules can register virtually all typical signal types, including contacts, diode contacts, analogue voltage and current signals, resistance measurements, etc. A special module with a 24-bit transducer has also been designed for precision recording of analogue electric signals.

The registered signal is processed in the application module according to a preprogrammed operating algorithm. The processed outputs may e.g. switch over contacts in output modules, or generate message in the connected loudspeaking communication system.

If registered or processed data needs to be relayed to another controller or visualisation system, you can easily do this with our wide selection of communication modules. From the standard solutions based on serial transmission over copper twisted pair or fibre optic cables in MODBUS (with supported serial interfaces: RS-485, RS-422 or RS-232) to communication over an IS optical fibre Ethernet cable network built with the EFI-13 family of modules (see further herein).

The drivers can read and process increasing amounts of data by continuous development of the system. This increases the number of configuration options and the device configurability directly by the user.
A visualisation module has been developed to speed up the operation of the device. Furnished with a large 5.6” graphical display and a synaptic panel, the module presents a large amount of information in an easy and clear manner.

The number of input, output and communication modules is configured according to customer demands. The maximum amount of modules is limited by the enclosure capacity only and the power supply unit output.
