Logical Decision Making
(Decision Neurons)

The Cortex 360 can make decisions based
on Virtual Logic Gates (Decision Neurons),
automating the control of equipment at the
remote site.

360° Site Awareness

Maximum Reachability
and Awareness

Manage your site through a standard dial-up modem
connection, by DTMF/voice response, through a network
connection or smartphone App. Get situational awareness on any
device with the web based interface or let the Davicom tell
you what’s potentially wrong at your site.

Listen & Recall
(Auditory & Memory Neurons)

Memory

The Cortex 360 keeps track of
all conditions and events that
happen at your site.

Listen

Davicom's units can listen to your
site audio and warn you of potential
silence, or even relay the live audio
back to you via telephone or
IP streaming.

Sense Site Status & Environment
(Sensory Neurons)

Connect multiple types of sensors (Sensory Neurons)
to add environmental awareness to your Cortex 360.
Most analog sensors with outputs between ±0.5V to
±80V, or standard 4-20mA compliant outputs will work
with the Cortex 360. Low-cost and widely-available
ModBus sensors can also be used.

Connecting Everything At Your Site

Connect Any Type of
Analog or Status Sensor

Directly connect up to 8 analog sensors, 16 status sensors, and 2 audio feeds. No extra boards to buy!

Professional Grade Metering Inputs

The 12 bit A/D converter provides high-resolution readings from your sensors.

Connect any type of analog sensor through the unit’s fully differential metering inputs. Levels ranging from 0.5V to 80V with a common-mode voltage of 80V ensure full flexibility.

Use any analog input to turn your Cortex 360 into an audio silence detector !

Independent Grounds for Each Status Input

Fully independent ground returns help reduce noise and ensure isolation between status inputs.

Activity Monitoring

All status inputs have built-in activity monitoring that checks for abnormal activity time on the input. Daily cumulative run-times are stored and logged.

Control External
Equipment

With its 8 relay outputs, the Cortex360 can command and control other equipment. From remotely switching to a backup transmitter to turning on the generator when a power outage occurs, the Cortex360 can take smart decisions to keep your site transmitting.

Need More I/O?

No worries, MEXM expansion panels or Modbus slaves will let you add up to…

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

SNMP Agent

The Cortex 360 has a built-in SNMP agent that lets you monitor and control it from a central SNMP manager. When activated, this agent allows remote SNMP management systems to perform GETs, SETs and to receive TRAPs from Davicom units.

This feature has the added benefit of converting non-SNMP legacy site devices into SNMP-capable equipment through the Cortex360’s GPIO and SNMP agent.

SNMP Manager

The Cortex360’s built-in SNMP Manager allows it to take readings, set controls and receive alarms from SNMP enabled devices such as transmitters. This monitoring and control is achieved over a simple TCP/IP connection between devices, thus greatly facilitating interface wiring.

SNMP Packages Available

Create a Cortex 360 Network

Use the Cortex 360’s SNMP agent and manager to build a complete network of
interconnected, interacting and redundant site managers.

Design Automation Without a Single Line of Code!

Davicom systems provide automation with decision-making features and commands that go well beyond conventional telemetry systems. The Davicom units can, for example, detect an RF failure, place the standby transmitter on-air to restore the signal and alert on-call personnel. Engineering staff can then diagnose the problem from the event history log and, using remote data measurements, decide on the appropriate course of action.

Virtual Logic Gates

Davicom’s units get their intelligence from Virtual Logic Gates, which act like Decision Neurons.
These Neurons take inputs from various sensors, inputs, timers, outputs, or even from other Decision
Neurons, and connect them together to produce the desired outputs and controls. The Neurons can
have different simple logic functions like AND, OR, NAND, NOR…

Math Functions

Davicom Cortex 360 units can do math on their input signals.
Add, subtract, divide, multiply, find the square root or even the logarithm of sensor readings.

Available!

Activity Timers

Any I/O can be assigned to an activity monitor that checks for too much,
or too little activity on the input. Daily cumulative runtimes are stored and logged.

Virtual Relays

Enhance the full power of the Cortex' programmable logic and achieve the
most complex automation thanks to the built-in virtual relays. Use them to manually
or automatically trigger automatic sequences, tests or any logic actions with the virtual logic gates!
Just like physical relays, they can be momentarily pulsed or latched.

Schedulers

Gain full flexibility for your site and personnel operations by scheduling events on an
hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. Use combinations of these events
to schedule tests, mute alarms or change antenna patterns.

Network PINGs

Use Network PINGs to
debug your network!

Ping different network branches or even the outside Internet to map network connectivity and faults.

Or use this feature as a
failsafe to reset unresponsive
network equipment!

Have your Davicom automatically reset network components from the remote end of your network link.

Complete Web-Based Interface

Clean. Modern. Easy To Use.

The Cortex 360’s web-based workspaces are completely customizable by the user. In addition, each user can have different workspaces on multiple devices (smartphone, tablet or PC). These workspaces have the advantage of being stored directly on the Cortex 360 unit itself, thereby ensuring a uniform look when being accessed by different users. For low-bandwidth communications, workspaces may also be located on your personal computer using our DavLink software.

Save Two Firmware
Versions in the
Same Unit

Count on stress-free firmware upgrades thanks to the Cortex’s dual firmware memory spaces that ensure fail-over and rollback operation. Upgrades become virtually unbreakable, even if you pull the plug during an upgrade!

Top-Quality Design
for Electromagnetic
Compatibility

Davicom units have been developed and tested to operate in high-level electric fields and to resist electrostatic discharges. Exactly the type of environment you would expect to find near high power transmitters on a mountaintop with a metal tower!
