Plant Communication System / Public Address System

Introduction :

image

PLANT COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (PCS) Is IP-Communication Server based "Public Address System with Talk Back Facility" for two-way communication IN FULL DUPLEX. The system is suitable and is certified for use in both hazardous areas and safe areas (i.e. non-hazardous areas) of the Plant facility. IP communication server is pure IP based system, with Hybrid capability to TDM enable digital and analog stations. It supports Analog Terminals, Digital Terminals and VOIP terminals. It also supports Analog Trunk, Digital Trunk and VOIP trunk.

The system is mainly used in industrial plants & facilities for the following inter-plant communication functions.

Key Functions :

  • For communication between plant’s Central Control Room (CCR) & the Field Operators
  • For communication between different Field Operators, working in different areas within the plant
  • For PA-GA (public address & general alarm) function. This provides Automatic broadcasting of “stored safety voice messages / alarm tones” over public address system during emergency situations
  • For communication between individual plants, in case of multiple & separate plant environment
  • For communication between Public Address system and EPABX / Telephone system
  • For communication between Mobile telephone users with Public Address System And many more….

Construction

The system is suitable and is certified for use in both hazardous areas and safe areas (i.e. non-hazardous areas) of the Plant facility. The Field Handset Stations and Field Loudspeakers are available in (1) Indoor Types, for indoor room areas, (2) Weatherproof types, for outdoor safe & non-hazardous areas and (3) Flameproof / Explosion proof types, for outdoor hazardous areas of the plant.

Operation of the system is very simple and the connectivity between the users is immediate. The calling person first makes the announcements over the loudspeakers of the system. On hearing the announcement, the called person – using the field handset station - communicates back to the calling person.

The calling person (either control room operator or the field operator) selects the desired plant area / zone from his unit, makes paging announcement for the required person and remains system connected. The announced message immediately gets heard over the loudspeakers of that selected area/zone. On hearing this announced message, the called person goes to any of his nearest field station - lifts the handset - dials access code and gets automatically connected to the calling individual. The two way communications in private mode is established between these two users.
