What is an FPC 1000?
The FPC 1000 is an optional Front Panel Controller designed to operate as part of
Extron’s Matrix 3200/6400 Series Switching system. In most installations,
RS-232 program control will be used because it is more powerful and complete.
RS-232 control can be from a PC using Extron’s Windows® control software, or
from a touch screen or any other controlling device capable of generating the
proper commands. The external device could be a PC, using Extron's Windows®
software, or a user-supplied controller, such as AMX (Panja), Crestron, etc.
One Matrix 3200/6400 Series system may consist of up to 6 BMEs (Basic
Module Enclosure) switching up to 64 inputs and 64 outputs. The different
modules that make up a system are controlled as one by communication links
that connect the modules. Therefore, one Front Panel Controller will control all
the modules in the system and must be installed in the master BME.
