LINKAGE TYPES
![Page 4: Linkage Connecting system components. Allows configuring automatic actions Triggering outputs based on specific inputs Used for removing human reliance](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d095503460f949dbe0d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Reader Alarms to Auxiliary Relays• Alarm Panel Inputs to Output relays
• Only Control Outputs from same device• Limited Configuration Options• Only power to Device Required• Very Useful for Redundant Backup• Extremely Fast Reacting• Removes Reliance on Human Operators
LOCAL LINKAGE

Local Linkage - ExampleAlarm Input Sensor Device
changes input state to ‘Alarm’
Linkage action is internal to the
device, no outside action
Output changes state in reaction to alarm input

• Configured in Software, stored in Controller
• Can affect any device on controller• Inputs from one device can control
another
• PC’s or network not needed• Very fast acting• Removes requirement for extra wiring• Also useful for redundant backups• Removes Reliance on Human Operators

Internal Variable- Example
Alarm Input
Change is detected in
controller, signal is sent to devices to
change state
Sensor Device changes input
state to ‘Alarm’
Devices change mode to OPEN on
designated readers

• Configured in Software, stored in PC’s• Can affect any device on System• Inputs from one device can control any
other
• PC’s must be Functioning• Requires APACS PRO software• Uses Network to send info to other PC’s• Removes Reliance on Human Operators

Reaction - Example
Sensor Device changes input
state to ‘Alarm’
Alarm Input
Controller detects change, sends
message to Alarm Mode station
Alarm Mode Station receives
message and reaction is executed
Sensor Device changes input

What about…?
• What is the best solution for the following?
– Open all doors in response to an input from PAGA (Public Address & General Alarm) system?
– Turn on lighting?
– Notify the security director when perimeter alarms are detected after midnight?
– Sound an alarm when a gas alarm is pulled?
