TS2 Virtual Cabinet – Full NEMA TS 2 Emulation

Description

The TS2 Virtual Cabinet (TVC-3500) provides the full emulation of a NEMA TS 2 standard cabinet.

The Benefits of the TS2 Virtual Cabinet 

It connects to an SDLC port (Port 1) of a NEMA TS 2 standard Controller Unit (controller). TVC-3500 receives SDLC frames from the controller, processes those frames and sends responses back to the controller. It also runs a full simulation of TF BIUs 1-4 (Terminals and Facilities), DR BIUs 1-4 (Detector Rack BIU), and an MMU.

Interactive Interface for Real-Time Inputs

Through the interface software (TS2 Virtual Cabinet Interface), the user can change inputs and monitor outputs of the TF BIUs, and simulate detector calls. This allows the user to monitor the controller’s “reaction” to various inputs such as emergency vehicle preempt call, pedestrian call on a particular phase or an actuation of any detector call.

Improving Traffic Management Efficiency

By actively simulating critical traffic events, users can quickly identify and address configuration or hardware issues before they impact real-world operations.

Seamless Configuration and Visualization

The software will also automatically enable inputs/outputs for those BIUs that are programmed in the controller and show which BIUs should be present in the cabinet. This provides a visual presentation of how the controller is setup and what inputs/outputs are available for the given controller configuration. With an intuitive layout, traffic professionals can easily assess wiring. This comprehensive setup helps traffic engineers accurately test and troubleshoot controller behavior in diverse scenarios.
