Controlling Electronic Locks with RFID Readers

This section describes how to connect an electronic lock, magnet lock or strike plate to enable its control with an RFID reader.

In this scenario, you will program the Door Module as a lock with its own access rights.

Proceed as follows.

  1. Make sure that the switch on Net Bridge is set to STANDBY.
  2. Add, format and program the Door Module to the lock list as an S5 Online lock.

    For the lock cylinder type, choose N502.

    For the lock type, choose Network module.

  3. 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.

  4. Connect the Key Reader or RFID Reader to the Door Module READER RS-485 bus according to the connection diagram.
  5. Connect an electric lock control to the relay output K1, according to the electric lock manufacturer's instructions.
    Note:

    Do not use the bus voltage (DC+, DC-) as the electronic lock's power source.

  6. Set the operation mode 3 by the OPTIONS dip switches as follows:
    S1 ON
    S2 ON
    S3 OFF
    S4 OFF
  7. Set TERMINATION (TE/TEST) to ON if this bus device is the last device in this bus branch. If not, set it to OFF.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
