Overview
The Brain Module is the central component of the entire module chain, acting as the intelligent core of the system. It coordinates its host Body Module and up to 31 more Body Modules on the same communication line — up to 32 controllers in total — together with their sub-modules, including door, locker, and other control modules.
It connects to FURCHA HUB, the cloud service, for central monitoring and control.
With its built-in web server, the system is configured and managed directly in a standard web browser, over HTTPS. The module runs on a real-time operating system (RTOS).
Personal data, backups and the journal archive on its SD card are stored AES-256 encrypted. A recovery key lets a replacement brain restore the backup.
