Central Unit for Alarm System (CUAS) Evaluation Board
Introduction
The Central Unit for Alarm System (CUAS) Evaluation Board provides a complete reference
system addressing the low- to middle-end security sectors. The tool is ready, from hardware
and software point of view, for the development of a complete alarm platform based on a bus
network. Thanks to a PC graphical user interface (GUI), it is also possible to easily set up all
control parameters (in addition to a control/programming panel connected through the bus).
The entire system consists of four boards: Central Unit (CU) board, Control Module (CM)
board, Power Supply (PS) board and the PC interface board. There is also PC GUI software
that enables the user to easily configure all CU parameters and to execute certain system
tests. It is possible to expand the system by means of input/output expansion boards, a
GSM board (a connector is available on the CU Board) for managing the CU using a cell
phone and other modules using radio-frequency identification (RFID), smartcard or
keyboard devices connected through the bus.
