Exceeds NEMA TS 2-2003 Standard for Traffic Controller Assemblies with NTCIP Requirements.
Exceeds NEMA/AASHTO/ITE Rev 5.2 Standard for Advanced Transportation Controller (with next generation engine board).
The M50 Series Controller Unit has a removable LCD alphanumeric backlit display unit (8-line x 40 char/line). Programming
is easy and error free using English Language Menus. Within a menu, each parameter can be viewed and a cursor moved to that parameter for changes. Related parameters are visible simultaneously, making verification an easy matter. The screen provides both programming area identification and editing prompts. The M50 can also be utilized as a master control unit using SE-MARC Master software.

Preemption Priority
Internal Preemption is a highly flexible routine operating within the M50 Series Controller Unit. Included are:
- 6 Preempt Routines providing complete signal control
- 6 Priority Routines providing complete phase control and in-sync return to coordination
Preempt activity can be monitored on a Preempt Status display which denotes:
- Preempt In Control, Interval Timing, & Interval Countdown
- Individual Preempt Status & Timing
- Individual Priority Status & Timing
Diagnostics and Status Displays
A resident diagnostic program is standard in the M50 Series Controller Unit. In addition to the extensive displays to aid in intersection setup, monitoring, and operation, the resident diagnostic program enhances the maintenance and troubleshooting of the controller assembly.

Hardware Design
The M50 Series Controller Unit is designed for efficient operation and ease of maintenance. The chassis is made of injection molded, high impact polycarbonate and is designed for easy access to the boards for testing without disassembly. A molded handle makes the lightweight controller easy to carry.
The controller is convection cooled with vent slots in the back and openings along the bottom. Adjustable rubber feet along the front allow users to change the angle of the display and create more or less space around the controller. Grounding metal feet in the rear stabilize the controller.
The M50 features a removable, hand-held LCD alphanumeric backlit display unit, with 8-line, 40 characters per line display capability. The display unit connects to the controller via a dedicated C60 port.
TS-2 Advantages
Controller assemblies with TS-2 Detector Racks provide increased capability, consume less power, and provide additional diagnostic data to the Controller Unit via the SDLC port. The Controller Unit can take corrective action much earlier than one based on internal diagnostics. Controller assemblies with TS-2 Monitors provide additional diagnostic data to the Controller Unit via the SDLC port.
Six Modes of Coordination
Permissive Mode provides non-actuated coord phase, vehicle and pedestrian, with permissive windows opened phase by phase to the non-coord phases.
Yield Mode provides non-actuated coord phase, vehicle and pedestrian, with a single permissive window for all non-coord phases.
Permissive Yield Mode provides for actuated coord phase, vehicle and pedestrian, with permissive windows opened phase by phase to the non-coord phases.
Additionally, the coord phase vehicle may extend its green time at the beginning of the first permissive window.
Permissive Omit Mode provides operation similar to the Permissive Yield Mode, except that the coord phase, once terminated, is prevented from occurring prior to the end of the last permissive.
Sequential Omit Mode provides operation similar to the Permissive Yield Mode, except the permissive is a phase by phase sliding window (only one phase in a ring will be allowed service at any time).
Full Actuated Mode provides operation similar to the Permissive Yield Mode, except that any phase may be serviced and reserviced in the standard sequence following the first permissive and through the last permissive.
Adaptive Traffic Control
Simple or highly complex control including:
- 16 Vehicle Phases
- 16 Pedestrian Phases
- 4 Timing Rings
- 16 Overlaps
- 80 Detectors
Adaptive Maximum Routines which are enabled via Time Base, offer three separate Step values to cause the running maximum to increase or decrease smoothly based on current traffic conditions. Separate Dynamic Maximum parameters are available for each Step value.
Adaptive Protected / Permissive Routines measure the volume of Left Turn vehicle traffic and available gap windows in the conflicting Through-Vehicle traffic to determine whether the Left Turn should operate protected or permissive.
Coordination Virtual Split Routine provides for actuated
coord phase vehicle and pedestrian modes. This control provides for a period of time of each cycle which is
distributed to the Coord Phase(s) or non-coord phases, based on Coord Phase vehicle traffic activity.
Coordination Adaptive Split Routines which are enabled via Time Base adjust split times smoothly based on current traffic conditions.
Security
The M50 Series Controller Unit provides for a user
specified security code entry before data may be altered. This security code entry is not required to view any
parameters. The M50 Series Controller Unit can also
disable security code requirements for perpetual access.
The next generation engine board, standard on the ATCnx and available as an option for the other M50 models, provides
advanced functionality and software support.
-
Faster, more powerful engine board with substantial increase in flash memory drive and RAM.
-
Runs both Linux and OS-9 operating systems, providing more options for third-party development.
-
Preloaded with the SafeSuite software package, which includes NextPhase, SEPAC, SeMARC, NTCIP,
Monitor, Enforce and more, making it a comprehensive intersection control and monitoring system.
-
Can run multiple-concurrent transportation software
applications, offering true multitasking traffic control.
