Fault Tolerant Controller Manual
33-10068-001-A
1.1 Theory of Operation
The PCSC Fault Tolerant system is designed differently from the standard access control system in
which PCSC has excelled for 25 years. A standard Host -> Controller -> Reader/Door setup has always
been reliant on each device preceding it to function properly in order to maintain the integrity of the
system. For example, if a controller is to “fail” (lose power or be disconnected from the network), the
readers or door controls connected to those panels will fail to activate. The system can be increasingly
problematic if multiple panels are daisy-chained together via RS-485 or standard LAN network. If a
panel within the chain goes off-line, it will disrupt the connection to the network. Although this
occurrence is rare, it is a weakness within the standard access control architecture.
The Fault Tolerant system was designed with a LAN-based “Active/Active” or “Active/Inactive” system
architecture which compensates for the possibility that a controller may go off-line. If, for any reason, a
primary controller fails, an alternate controller shall automatically take over the duties of the failed
controller. The progression of successors to a faulty controller shall continue to provide security without
any degradation in system operations.
This secure method of operation was accomplished by dividing the duties of the standard panel into two
distinct panel types. The intelligence of a standard controller that is able to function independently from
the Host computer has been assigned to the Fault Tolerant Controller or FTC within the Fault Tolerant
system. The FTC, connected to the network via a LAN connection, performs as the functional brain for
all its subsidiary door modules. There are two types of FTC within the Fault Tolerant system. The first is
a standard independent panel. The second is a rack-mounted FTC which incorporates two FTCs within
its design.
The second type of panel within the Fault Tolerant system is the Door Module. The Fault Tolerant
system has two types of door modules: the Single Door Module (SDM) and the Dual Door Module
(DDM). The door module is a dumb device that communicates all door and reader activity to the FTC
and executes any instructions commanded. FTCs and door modules are connected via the network, not
a hard-wired cable, so that the architecture of the Fault Tolerant system can respond immediately to any
panel failure.

Fault Tolerant Controller Manual
33-10068-001-A
1.1.1. Redundancy
The key to the FTC within a Fault Tolerant network is redundancy. No FTC should function
independently within a PCSC Fault Tolerant system. Multiple FTCs within a network allow a secondary
FTC to “fill-in” if a door module’s primary FTC goes off-line. Therefore, a Fault Tolerant system will only
ever fail at the level of a single door module, and not affect the system as a whole.
This can be illustrated by the following scenario. Assume four panels (FTCs 1 – 4) are connected via the
network. Each panel is able to see the connected FTCs on the network, and will display a constant scroll
of the panels to which it is connected. Also connected to the network is DDM 26, which has been
assigned to FTC 1. Within the scroll of FTC 1, DDM 26 will also appear. Other FTC panels will not see
DDM 26, as DDM 26 will only being attempt to connect to FTC 1.
If FTC 1 goes off-line, the system needs to adapt. In a standard access control scenario, FTC 1 would
go off-line, as would DDM 26, and the readers/doors connected to it. Within the Fault Tolerant system,
DDM 26 will immediately search out the secondary FTC within its programming, in this case, FTC 2. The
FTC 2 scroll will show that it is now connected to DDM 26. Additionally, FTC 1 will no longer appear on
the scroll on the other FTCs.

2.0 Installing Power
2.1 Installing Power to the FTC and DDM
The Fault Tolerant Controller (FTC) and Dual Door Module (DDM) can be powered via two different
methods:


Power Over Ethernet (POE), or
PCSC Power Supply
Shown below are the 3.0A PCSC power supplies.
2.1.1 Installing Power- 3.0 Amp
Should the FTC or DDM be powered by a PCSC power supply, the panel will be connected to a 12VDC
power supply at P2 at midlevel along the board. Wiring will be set at the factory. Disconnect power
mains from the supply before making any adjustments to the wiring.
For installation, refer to the ESD SPS-3.6M2E Power Supply installation instructions (P/N: SPS36

3.0 Wiring the Readers
PCSC has designed its products to withstand most inductive voltage spikes without effect. However,
some noise found in power supplies and door strikes, in addition to static discharge, may cause the
control unit to momentarily shut down, lockup, or in extreme cases, to become damaged. Unexplained
lockups and intermittent system behavior are common symptoms of static or noise problems. If cycling
power will remedy your problem, carefully follow these instructions:
1. Install Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) (Siemens S10K30 or equivalent) at each Door Strike. When
installed, they will suppress the feedback coming from door strikes, and limit most errors.
2. Readers should be properly earth-grounded for uninterrupted reads. Please be aware that operation
is affected by the amount of static present during certain times of the year.
3. Properly grounding all readers and hardware, in addition to suppressing noise in the peripheral
equipment, should allow for many problem free years of use with PCSC products.
4. In addition, PCSC recommends using a separate filtered, electronically regulated output, switchable
power supply for door strikes.
5. Before installing the reader, please read the following instructions. Damage may occur if this is
disregarded.
6. Installation must meet all local, state, and federal regulations and codes for electrical installation. If
these codes conflict with the installation methods described in this manual, please call your service
representative.

33-10068-001-A
3.1 Grounding the Readers
Do not route data and power cables in the same conduit. Crosstalk and transmission of electrical noise
may result. The controller will become damaged if the power cable grounds to the data cable.
NOTE: High Voltage and Low Voltage wiring must be routed separately and
maintain a minimum spacing of 0.25 inches.
3.2 Properly Routing the Cables
Each cable has a set of drain lines that can be attached on the Host or controller end of the cable to any
screws mounted in the optional enclosures. If other non-metallic enclosures are used for controller
housing, ensure that an alternative source for earth grounding is available.
3.3 Grounding the Power and Data Lines
Each cable has a set of drain lines that can be attached on the Host or controller end of the cable to any
screws mounted in the optional enclosures. If other non-metallic enclosures are used for controller
housing, ensure that an alternative source for earth grounding is available.
3.3.1 Procedure
1. At the Reader side, it is important to be aware of both the static generated from the user end as well
as electrical grounding from the data and power cabling. If at all possible, the reader mounting plate
should be attached to a grounded junction box or to another source, if the junction box is nonmetallic. This alleviates the possible damage caused by static electricity.
NOTE Leave the drain line taped back and floating at the reader site.
2. If grounding locally is not possible, connect drain wires to the provided Electro Static Discharge
(ESD) hardware at the Controller side (enclosure) or to earth grounded conduit. As each reader port
is progressively farther away from the ESD hardware location, allow for enough drain line to reach
the ESD hardware on the controller end of the cable. Allow enough strain relief to avoid
touching other circuitry or creating excessive tension.
NOTE: High Voltage and Low Voltage wiring must be routed separately and
maintain a minimum spacing of 0.25 inches.
3. On a permanently connected product, a terminal intended solely for the connection of an equipment
grounding conductor shall be capable of securing a conductor of the size suitable for the particular
application in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1993.
4. On a permanently connected product, a wire binding screw intended for the connection of an
equipment grounding conductor shall have a green colored head that is hexagonal, slotted, or both.
A pressure wire connector intended for connection of such a conductor shall be plainly identified
such as by being marked “G” “GR,” “GROUND,” or “GROUNDING,” or the like, or by a marking on a
wiring diagram provided on the product. The wire binding screw or pressure wire connector shall be
secured to the frame or enclosure of the product and shall be located so that it is unlikely to be
Page 19 of 90
Fault Tolerant Controller Manual
33-10068-001-A
removed during service operations such as replacing fuses, resetting manual-reset devices, or the
like.
5. If a pressure wire connector intended for grounding is located where it could be mistaken for a
neutral conductor of a ground supply, it shall be identified by a marking ”EQUIPMENT GROUND“ or
with a green color identification, or both.
6. On a permanently connected product, the surface of an insulated lead intended solely for the
connection of an equipment grounding conductor shall be finished in a continuous green color or a
continuous green color with one or more yellow stripes, and no other lead shall be so identified.
3.4 Grounding the Pin Pad or Reader
3.4.1 Procedure
1. Orient the mounting plate so that the protruding ears are on top and facing the back of the reader or
PIN Pad. Attach the mounting plate to the junction box using two screws. The mounting plate should
be earth ground either to a ground junction box or directly to an earth ground source (especially if
the junction box is not metal).
2. Connect the cable to the rear of the reader. Secure the shield drain lines to one of the grounding
screws in the Fault Tolerant Controller enclosure or other appropriate location.
3. Place mounting holes on the back of the reader over the latches on the mounting plate, and then
position the unit so that the cover is flush with the mounting plate.
4. Secure the unit to the mounting plate by inserting the special security fastener through the hole in
the bottom of the reader. Tighten it using the security driver.
3.4.2 Grounding the Reader Mullion Mount
The reader may be attached to a glass or door mullion separator (either vertically or horizontally) by
using the Mullion Bracket Adapter Kits (04-10170-001 for horizontal mounting or 04-10171-001 for
vertical mounting).
3.4.2.1 Procedure
1. At the Fault Tolerant Controller end, secure the drain lines to one of the ESD grounding screws in
the Fault Tolerant Controller box. At the reader end, leave the drain line floating. It is recommended
that the mullion adapter be affixed to an earth ground or to the incoming conduit.
2. Mount the reader to the J-box or mullion bracket.

4.0 Reader Connections to the DDM
4.0.1. Reader Disconnect Resistors
If an external power supply and a reader disconnect feature is required, place an appropriately sized
resistor (not supplied) at the reader. However, if the reader is using an external power supply, then the
resistor should be installed at the reader port on the panel.
If an external power supply is required, a resistor can be placed at the reader port to eliminate the
Reader Disconnect message in the logger.
NOTE: For use in the following diagrams, resistors are shown connected to the boards.
However, for best operation, resistors should be placed where they are the most
effective.
NOTE: A second reader is not available with the SDM at this time.

5.0 Wiring the Door(s)
Step 1.
When power is interrupted from the Fault Tolerant Controller, the door relay de-energizes and
continuity (conduction path) exists between the Common (Com.) and Normally Closed (N.C.)
relay contacts. Should this loss-of-power situation arise, it must be determined whether the
door(s) controlled by the Fault Tolerant Controller will become unlocked (or a Fail-Safe
environment), or locked (or a Fail-Secure environment).
Step 2.
Refer to the two types of door hardware below and the circuit conditions that coincide with the
state of the locks.
Step 3.
Case A.
Door Strike hardware requires continuity to unlock (for strikes that require power to
lock, follow the outline given for maglocks). This is provided by a closed circuit
condition (Normally Closed [N.C.]).
Case B.
Door Strike hardware does NOT require continuity to lock (for strikes that require
power to lock, follow the outline given for maglocks). This is provided by an open
circuit condition (Normally Open [N.O.]).
Case C.
Magnetic lock hardware requires continuity to lock. This is provided by a closed
circuit condition (Normally Closed [N.C.]).
Case D.
Magnetic lock hardware does NOT require continuity to unlock.
This is provided by an open circuit condition (Normally Open [N.O.]).
For Fail-Safe operation, wire the appropriate door lock hardware to accommodate an
unlocked condition upon interruption of Fault Tolerant Controller power. This is implemented
by:


For door strikes, wire between the Common and Normally Closed Door Relay contacts.
For Magnetic Locks, wire between the Common and Normally Open Door Relay
contacts.
For Fail-Secure operation, wire the appropriate door lock hardware to accommodate a locked
condition upon interruption of Fault Tolerant Controller power. This is implemented by:


For door strikes, wire between the Common and Normally Open Door Relay contacts.
For Magnetic Locks, wire between the Common and Normally Closed Door Relay
contacts.
NOTE For both conditions (Fail Safe and Fail Secure) it is presumed that Lock Power is battery
backed.
Step 4. Next page
Page 30 of 90
Fault Tolerant Controller Manual
33-10068-001-A
Step 4.
Program the quiescent (INACTIVE) state of the door output relay to provide a locked door
state. For Fail-Safe environments, the quiescent state of the door output relay should be
ENERGIZED. For Fail-Secure environments, it should be DE-ENERGIZED.
Consult the LiNC-NXG User Manual’s Door Overview/Hardware section for programming
information.
Open Collector Output: Open collector outputs are designed to drive an external relay. This
technique can be used to control devices which exceed the relay capacity of those on board the Fault
Tolerant Controller. The open collector outputs are capable of 100 mA current @ 12VDC.

5.4 Installing Noise Suppression Devices
To install a MOV to suppress noise and avoid problems related to spikes, follow the instructions below
and refer to the diagrams on the following pages.
5.4.1 Procedure
The most effective location for a suppression device is at the source; in this case, at the door strike.
1. Remove the strike-locking device and find the wire connector that attaches the lock wires to the
lock.
2. Install an MOV (Siemens S10K30 or equivalent) in parallel with the load. The MOV is a nonpolarized device and will work with both AC and DC locks.
NOTE Use an additional MOV if you experience further noise at the strike.
NOTE For further protection on DC units, a reverse biased diode may be installed
(We suggest types 1N4004 to 1N4007 be used) also in parallel with the load.
3. Note the wiring set-up of your particular system. Connections can be made either to the
“normally open” (fail secure) contact or to the “normally-closed” (fail-safe) configuration
whereby an isolation relay is used and a MOV is added for noise suppression.

6.0 Communicating with the FTC, DDM and SDM through TCP/IP
Communication with each Fault Tolerant Controller is based on three forms of identification:
 The panels name (optional)
 The panel’s unique IP Address
 The panel’s DIPswitch number
6.0.1 Connecting to a Panel via TCP/IP
Programming of the FTC, DDM and SDM controllers is done directly through the TCP/IP and a standard
internet browser. When communicating with a panel via TCP/IP, it is possible to do the following:
 Set IP Address and Name
 Configure a network of connected FTCs
 Specify a primary FTC (DDM and SDM only)
 Specify secondary FTCs (DDM and SDM only)
 Specifying the allowable Hosts and Workstations within a network
 Set the panel’s Time Zone
 Set the DIPswitch number (SDM Only)
 Changing the password

Two Seven-Segment LED Display
Error codes are displayed in Hexadecimal format. Refer to the
error code section for listing of codes and their meanings.
Real Time Clock
A real time clock (DS1302) with battery backup is provided for
time of day information.
Power Supply
The FTC and DDM may use either a power supply or be
powered directly via Power Over Ethernet (POE).
If using a power supply the FTC or DDM require +12VDC for all
logic. Relays, output drivers, etc. require a +12VDC power
supply. An on-board DC-DC converter accepts an external
voltage source of 10-26VDC, and converts this unregulated
source to the required +5VDC. For an input voltage range of
10-15 volts, the “+12VDC” converts this voltage source to the
required +12VDC. For more information, please refer to the
ESD power supply installation manual.
Battery Back-up Requirements
Should the FTC or the DDM be installed within an enclosure, a
12 AH battery is recommended as a back-up to the power
supply, because it is the largest battery that will fit in the
enclosure. The battery should be connected to the power
supply charger in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Refer to ESD SPS-3.6M2E, or SPS-6.5M4 Power
Supply installation instructions (P/N: SPS36instructions Rev:
04/15/02) for determining battery backup size.
NOTE: The Single Door Module is powered directly via Power Over Ethernet
(POE).
Factory Settings
The Fault Tolerant Controller is set at the factory as FTC #1
with an IP Address of 192.168.168.42.
