Access Control

Controllers & Processors

Overview

The ACUXL16 Networked Intelligent Controller features state-of- the-art technology, and provides both the flexibility and reliability needed to meet today’s complex access control and alarm monitor- ing requirements. Using a sophisticated, high speed embedded 32- bit, 90 MHz microprocessor and high-capacity 16 MB memory, the ACUXL16 controls up to 16 readers. Each ACUXL16 supports large card populations of up to 250,000 and has the ability to communi- cate over LAN, fiber, dial-up or RS-485 networks.

The ACUXL16 interfaces with all GE Security Diamond II and Sap- phire Pro servers, and offers the widest range of features and flexibility, with a design focus on reliability, durability, and ease of installation and maintenance.

The ACUXL16 panel incorporates two external device ports, each capable of controlling eight readers/interfaces, which are multi- dropped using an RS-485 interface. Input and output capacity can be expanded — see the ACU Remote Modules datasheet for details. Each panel includes a parallel printer port to provide local, real-time printing of transactions.

Standard Features

Supports up to 16 readers and associated interfaces through two RS-485 communication ports.

Supports magnetic stripe, Wiegand, barium ferrite, barcode, proximity, biometric and smart card technologies. Each reader is user-configurable (card only, card & keypad, or keypad only). Variable card formats, multiple site codes and company codes are supported.

Alarm Monitoring: The ACUXL16 includes 12 fully supervised six- state alarm inputs which provide false alarm filtering and utilize digital signal processing. Any combination of up to eight remote interface modules can be connected in place of reader inter- faces for additional capacity, including Relay Output Modules (described below), and Alarm Input Modules (RIM) which provide 16 additional six-state supervised alarm inputs with tri-color LED status indicators (each).

Each alarm input allows detection/reporting of circuit trouble conditions: loop resistance too low (short circuit), loop resistance too high (open circuit), loop voltage out of range (circuit fault), and a portion of loop grounded (ground fault).

The ACUXL16 includes 12 SPDT relay outputs that are configu- rable for control of locking devices, activation of local annuncia- tors and other output applications. Each SPDT relay is rated at 2.0 A, 30 VDC, and includes an LED status indicator. Any combi- nation of up to eight remote interface modules can be connect- ed in place of reader interfaces for additional capacity, includ- ing Alarm Input Modules (described above), and Relay Output Modules (RRM) which provide 16 additional output relays (each).
