Compatibility
How it works with your firing system
PyroNext doesn't ask you to replace your firing controller. It reads the signal your controller already produces and adds routing, continuity visibility, and field awareness downstream — your controller stays exactly as it is.
A real example
Example configuration
Your two existing firing modules connect into a single EM2 Bridge, which reads and classifies every trigger and continuity pulse. Bridge feeds that into Connect 12, which routes each incoming cue to the right IQ Slat position. With six IQ Slat 18 units deployed, the crew gets 648 individually monitored igniter connections — each one checked before arming, each one traceable to the exact rack position that needs attention.
What stays the same
Your controller
No firmware changes, no new software, no different workflow for your operator at the controller.
Your continuity checks
Your controller's own continuity display keeps working normally — Bridge feeds it a valid response.
Your training and procedures
The crew still operates the controller exactly as they always have.
What you gain downstream
Individual connection visibility
Identifies the exact failed igniter connection — not just which incoming cue reported a problem.
Flexible routing
Routes one controller cue to multiple firing positions, configured in software — no rewiring at the rack.
Complete field records
Records continuity, faults, and firing confirmations for every show.
Compatibility status
PyroNext is designed to work with firing systems that provide compatible electrical firing and continuity signals. EM2 Bridge is currently in active testing with two firing module families in use today, with additional platforms undergoing validation. Tell us about your setup and we'll confirm compatibility.
