Controlling Alarm Systems with RFID Readers
This section describes how to use an RFID reader to control an alarm system.
In this scenario, you will program the Door Module as a lock with its own access rights.
Proceed as follows.
-
Make sure that the
switch on Net Bridge is set to
STANDBY.
-
Add, format and program the Door Module to the lock list as an Online
lock.
For the lock cylinder type, choose N502.
For the lock type, choose Network module.
-
Connect the Door Module to the prepared Net Bridge,
or continue the bus from the last device on the main bus in accordance with
the wiring diagram in iLOQ Online - Design Guide.
Note:
If you are continuing the bus from another bus device, remember to remove the bus termination (TERMINATION = OFF) from the device from which you are continuing the bus.
- Connect the RFID reader to the Door Module's READER RS-485 bus in accordance with the wiring diagram.
-
Connect the alarm control to the K1 relay output in accordance with the alarm system manufacturer’s instructions.
Connect the alarm system status info to the Door Module's IN 1 input to control the green light and/or to the IN 2 input to control the red light.
The status info imported from the alarm system must be potential-free.
-
Set Operation Mode 5 by using the OPTIONS switches as follows:
S1 OFF S2 ON S3 OFF S4 OFF - Set TERMINATION (TE/TEST) to ON if this bus device is the last device in this bus branch. If not, set it to OFF.
- After connecting the remaining bus devices, complete the Net Bridge settings once (see Completing the Bus Device Configuration on Net Bridge) and continue this procedure.
- In iLOQ 5 Series Manager, check that the lock no longer has an orange background colour in the lock grid view. Remember to refresh the grid view by pressing the F5 key.
