Description

"Rumored to have been first sketched on a Norsec toilet wall by a disgruntled engineer, the Exgress airlock control circuit board’s versatility and ease of fabrication has made it the Stationeers control system of choice for Airlock cycling protocols. To enter setup mode, insert the board into a Console along with a data disk. In this mode, you can see all data-accessible objects currently connected to the Console. Doors, lights, gas sensors and slave consoles can be selected (highlighted green), and will be controlled once the data disk is removed."
- Stationpedia

A Circuitboard (Airlock) can be used to automate the operation of an airlock separating a pressurized enviroment from a (near) vacuum. Guide (Airlock) Atmosphere to Vacuum provides additional information regarding the function, construction, and operation of airlock using a Circuitboard (Airlock).

A Circuitboard (Advanced Airlock) might serve as a suitable substitution, offering support for two pressurized atmospheres and Console Slaves, but requires a more complex construction.

Characteristics

• Its settings will refer to the pressurized environment as "interior" and the vacuum environment as "exterior".
• Its pressurization phase will stall if there is not enough gas available to the selected Active Vents to reach the set 101 Pa.
• Its depressurization phase will stall if a complete vacuum cannot be achieved within the Large Grid Volumes in which all selected Gas Sensors reside.
• When powered, all selected Portals and Active Vents will be locked, preventing their manual use even when power is subsequently denied.
• Supports multiple "interior" Active Vents
• Supports multiple Gas Sensors
• Supports additional Console Slaves
• Shiv with a screwdriver to reset values

Console Slave

Additional control Consoles are useful when airlocks become large or remote control is desired. A Circuitboard (Airlock) can support one or more additional enslaved consoles where the "master" and all "enslaved" Consoles will sync their action and state with each other. Only one master console can be used to enslave other Circuitboard (Airlock) equipped consoles residing on the same Wire Network. See Guide (Airlock) Atmosphere to Atmosphere for information regarding the construction of Console Slave.

User Interface

A powered Console equipped with a Circuitboard (Airlock) and will display the following user interface:

Name	Type	Function
Cancel Depressurize	Console button	Cancel depressurization and proceed to repressurization (Warning: Atmospheric loss may occur)
Cancel Pressurize	Console button	Cancel pressurization and opens door
Emergency Override	Console button	Unused
Cycle to Exterior	Console button	Begin airlock operations to allow access to Exterior environment
Cycle to Interior	Console button	Begin airlock operations to allow access to Interior environment

Settings

A powered Console equipped with a Circuitboard (Airlock) and an inserted Data Disk will display the following settings:

Name	Description
«Portal» EXTERNAL	Designates one portal to exterior environment
«Portal» INTERNAL	Designates one portal to interior environment
«Active Vent» VENT	Designates one or more Active Vents for interior atmosphere
«Gas Sensor» SENSOR	Designates one or more Gas Sensors for airlock pressure measurements
«Light» LIGHT	Designates one or more Lights to be activated only during airlock operation
