 600-SERIES CONTROL PANELS
Galaxy’s 600-series Control Panel provides the most flexible, reliable, and complete ac-
cess control & security management solution available. The 600-series hardware is
robust and capable of supporting virtually any security situation.

Flexible • Expandable • Complete

Our 600-series Control Panel touts an unsurpassed flexibility that makes it simple to integrate system
hardware with the full-featured System Galaxy software. Galaxy supports any combination of access
control, biometrics, alarm & monitoring equipment, DVR/CCTV surveillance equipment, visitor & per-
sonnel verification, time & attendance, elevator controls, and more.

Galaxy 600-series control panels are modular and easily expanded. Each panel can be uniquely config-
ured to fit the specific requirements of any facility. The panels accommodate the 600-series interface
boards in any combination. Inputs, outputs, relays, card readers, and RS-485 devices can coexist in the
same panel. So there is no reason to buy more equipment than you need.

600-series products are brand-neutral and fully compatible with the complete range of technologies, in-
cluding smart card, biometric, proximity, barcode, magnetic swipe and wireless. And because the com-
munication ports are designed to work independently, you can intermix technologies at the board
level. This provides seamless operation with the System Galaxy software that is convenient and cost-
effective.

Galaxy Control Systems develops, manufactures and assembles all of our equipment in the United
States. This means we have the greatest measure of control over quality and the availability of parts.
And our ability to maximize long-term compatibility with existing technology makes Galaxy clearly the
best choice for your security.

Galaxy extends its compatibility to government listings and compliances including HSPD-12/FIPS 201,
PIV/PIV-II, CAC, and TWIC, as well as GSA/GSA Advantage and DIACAP Certification.

 600-SERIES INTERFACE BOARDS
The 600-series Central Processing Unit (CPU) manages
the access rules, schedules, and cards, as well as handling
event data to and from the peripheral hardware (doors,
readers, inputs and outputs, etc.). This allows the controller,
interface boards, and hardware to work seamlessly with the
System Galaxy software and remain fully functional when
operating independently of the software.

Control Panel Features:

• LAN/WAN capable via Native TCP/IP • Scheduled lock/unlock
• 10,000 event buffer per panel • Programmable duress
• 50,000 card/user capacity • Programmable temporary cards
• 254 time schedules (per cluster) • Programmable temporary access groups
• 256 I/O Groups (per cluster) • Unlimited holidays/special days
• 2000 access groups and/or unlimited • Two-man access rule
personal doors (per cluster) • Interface boards are hot-swappable

Dual Port Interface (DPI) Interface Board: The DPI board

has two independent reader ports per board and two relays
for each reader port. The DPI offers supervision of door con-
tacts and provides surge protection to guard against equip-
ment damage from electrical spikes.
635 DPI provides an additional RS-485 port, which allows it
to be remotely distributed over doors in multi-drop configura-
tion.

STANDARD CARDS SUPPORTS:

• Proximity 125KHz • 2 readers (doors) per DPI
• Barcode • 16 readers per DSI-485 port;
• Magnetic Stripe • Biometric Identification and Authentication

SMART CARDS GOVERNMENT COMPLIANT

• HID® iClass® • HSPD-12 & FIPS 201 Compliant
• MIFARE® • CHUID 75 bits, FASC-N 200 BITS (controller accepts up to 256 bits)
• MIFARE DESFire™ • PIV, PIV-II, TWIC cards
• MIFARE DESFire™ EVI • CAC-Legacy, Transition, Endpoint
• Option to perform PKI challenge to the Personal Certificate (PAK)

 600-SERIES INTERFACE BOARDS
Digital Input/Output Board (DIO): The DIO board controls
inputs & outputs with user-defined schedules and an extensive
array of configurable options. The DIO board reports the ap-
propriate input status and alarm event (trouble or safe) based
on configuration.
Supervision of inputs is supported by the DIO board. And as
an added layer of protection, the DIO also offers an on-board
feature, known as Hypervision, which protects the supervision
from being defeated.

Dual Serial Interface (DSI) Interface Board: The DSI

board is designed as a 3rd party integration solution for
devices using RS-485 protocol. There are two RS-485 ports per
board that support RS-485 devices in a single or multi-drop
configuration. The board supports wireless reader technology,
relay controls, LCD displays and Galaxy RS-485 Remote DPI
modules.

General Relay & Elevator Relay Interface Boards: Relay

boards can be used to drive General Relay Outputs or Elevator
Relay Outputs. The Relay board supports eight relays per
board and interoperates with the Galaxy DSI board using RS-
485 protocol in a multi-drop configuration.

Galaxy LCD Display: The LCD module provides custom

messages to cardholders at the point of access. The unit dis-
plays alpha-numeric characters on backlit LCD screen. The unit
can display a maximum of 80 characters on a 4-line display as
well as several formats of date/time and decrementing card-
swipes, which can be used for greetings, time clocks and park-
ing lot applications. The unit uses RS-485 protocol in a
multi-drop configuration via the Galaxy DSI board.

Otis Elevator Interface (OEI) Interface Board: The OEI

board integrates access control with the Otis Compass™ Sys-
tem using native UDP/IP. The OEI manages Otis DEC Modes,
supports Otis Floor Groups and Special Flags (i.e. Handicap,
VIP, Split Group, etc.).

All 600-series interface boards are ‘hot swappable’ and intelligent. You can change or
add boards while the panel is powered up and operating. And the intelligent design
means the boards will synchronize to the system and begin operating within minutes.
This provides uninterrupted security during maintenance and upgrades.
