When a valid access is acknowledged the access station send the signal to the door interlock system. The door interlock system will than provide the correct door management.
What is an Access control system?
An access control system is a system aimed to manage and control the access of people to a controlled environment. The access is allowed through a code granted to authorized people Different technologies have emerged on the market from the hi tech biometric detectors to the very popular Rfid , up to the simpliest alfanumeric keypad. The basic principle is that the device transmits to the control system the detected code and if it is acknowledged by the system the access is authorized. The stations can have different level of complexity: the basic ones simply detect the code and wait for the main system ack, the more complete ones are similar to computer TCP/IP terminals with data base and webserver onboard. Soyal propose both targets with the entry level ACe stations and the professional AC12pro stations.
