Controlling Electronic Locks with RFID Keys and PIN Codes
This section describes how to connect an electronic lock, magnet lock or strike plate to enable its control with an RFID key and PIN code. The presented connection uses a keyboard equipped RFID reader and a key with an RFID chip.
In this scenario, you will program the Door Module as a lock with its own access rights.
Proceed as follows.
-
Ensure that the
switch on Net Bridge is set to
STANDBY.
-
Add, format and program the Door Module to the lock list as a Key Switch
For the lock cylinder type, choose N502.
For the lock type, choose Online.
-
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 (keyboard equipped) RFID Reader to the Door Module’s READER RS-485 bus in accordance with the wiring diagram.
-
Connect the electronic lock control to the K1 relay output in accordance with the lock manufacturer's instructions.
Note:
Do not use the bus voltage (DC+, DC-) as the electronic lock's power source.
-
Set Operation Mode 3 by using the OPTIONS switches
as follows:
S1 ON 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.
- If you don't already have a suitable PIN code calendar for the door, add one now. See Adding Key PIN-code Calendars.
- Connect the key's PIN code calendar to the lock. See Connecting Key PIN Code Calendars to Locks.
