ASC/2S Signal Controller
For this intersection, we installed an Econolite ASC/2S signal controller. Eventually, we will replace with an ASC/3 NEMA controller.
Note the cannon plugs on the front. Since this is a TS2 Type 1 cabinet, we only use an A plug, with just a few wires... power, stop time, etc. The grey cables on the other side of the controller are for the FSK com up and down the corridor, and the SDLC com.
We do configure all of our TS2 Type 1 cabinets to allow both a standard TS2 Type 1 controller and a TS1 controller. This means that we have two different shaped cable power plugs.
We will be upgrading other equipment in the corridor, probably in late 2010, and providing Ethernet com. In this case, because of the tight space in this cabinet, this will likely bet a Ruggedcom RS900 series Ethernet switch configured for EVDO Ethernet com over copper.
We will likely keep the ASC/2S controller, but replace the internal FSK module, with one of the Econolite Ethernet modules that has a Digi port on it.
