Depending on the kind of interface are available the following constellations are possible:
– Using RS-232 host connection one AMC2-4R4 can be connected per COM port.
– Using RS-485 host connection, up to eight of these modules can be combined on one
COM port.
– Up to three extension boards can be connected to and controlled by the AMC2-4R4.
These can be any combination of types AMC2-8IOE, AMC2-16IOE, or AMC2-16IE.
System configurations for Access Control applications.
– The minimum configuration consists of:
– one PC with system software,
– one AMC2 controller,
– one AMC power supply,
– one AMC enclosure.
– The maximum configuration depends on the system software,
– Each AMC2-4W controller can be extended with an AMC2-4WE extension module.
Using an AMC-MUX interface extension on RS-485 host connections it is possible to connect
up to eight controllers to a single COM port. Up to 200 AMCs can be connected using the
ethernet host connection.
Notice!
If the host connection is via ethernet then the RS-485 interface can be used for extension
boards.
Using the reader interfaces, up to two RS-485 and two Wiegand peripheral devices can be
connected to each AMC2-4R4. The RS-232 interface can be used for additional input devices
such as biometric readers or long-range readers. The RS-232 and Wiegand interfaces are
point-to-point connections, meaning that only one reader can be connected to one interface.
The using of AMC2-4WE modules has no influence on the limit of the maximum of controllers
in one system, because it is an extension to an AMC2-4W and not a controller.
Using Wiegand reader interfaces, up to four peripheral devices can be connected to each
AMC2-4R4. The interfaces are point-to-point connections, meaning that only one reader can be
connected to one interface.
