PECOS provides a graphical user interface that can be tailored to your command and control system's specific parameters - equipment, processes, facilities, and topography. The equipment icons, floor plans, maps, or indicators can be generated in any standard graphics program and imported into PECOS. Touch-screen technology and the PECOS software link on-screen icons to menus that control equipment, call up video displays, and communicate with operators and administrators.

PECOS uses a closed-loop communications architecture to link different device subsystems to control node PCs. A sampling of these subsystems include security alarms, access controls, video management, fire detection and suppression, HVAC, or process machines. The controlling PC for a subsystem sits on a communications loop that links all the PC control stations to each other. Any PC in the system may have one or more alternate PCs designated as backup stations. You are in complete control of the configuration of your command and control system, including permission levels at each station, the graphical setup at each station, and intelligent security features that protect vital functions.


PECOS uses its loop architecture to support bi-directional communications with its subsystems. PECOS uses a system of dedicated sub-loops to ensure uninterrupted communications. A typical system may consist of three to five sub-loops, with special functions assigned, for example, to the control loop (using a limited command language set of short messages), the video bus loop (directing live video to appropriate monitors and windows), and the digital data loop (sending database information, as needed, to the PC controllers).
