General Dynamics Generic-BDC Redundancy Controller
The VertexRSI 1:2 Redundant Converter System is designed for installation in satellite earth stations. The system consists of three block downconverters (-1201 models) or block upconverters (-1202 models) in a 1:2 redundant configuration, including automatic switchover logic, redundant power supplies, and redundant AC line inputs. The system monitors the status of its converters and switches the standby unit online when a failure of either primary unit is detected.
