More info Solution The scalable and hands-free communication provided by Commend is primarily used for operational, emergency communication and industrial plant security. Each plant has around 20 to 30 call stations (SIP-WS800P) with an additional AF20A amplifier to drive the external speaker for paging. Desktop stations are used in control rooms and plant manager's rooms without extra speaker. An additional emergency button is connected to the call stations via the input contact for call activation. In some areas a flasher is used at the output contact of the call station. In normal operation, paging calls are made to a certain zone from the control room/plant manager room. On hearing the paging call, the user can go to the nearest call station to get on a private call. Conference call channels are setup for managing operational requirements within the plant. The master control station has the facility to make announcements to plant wide basis. Call recording, EPABX integration and monitoring are the other facilities provided.
