ACS network controller Model: GUARD Net

GUARD Net network controller is designed for use in the network and standalone access control systems. The controller has changeable functionality which is determined by the loaded firmware adjusted to the task. The USB port allows you to configure the controller by simply editing the text configuration file. Previously you needed a separate type of controller for each solution, now it’s enough to get GUARD Net and install the firmware which is suited for specific tasks.

Detailed instructions as well as the minimum conductors at the terminals provide ease of installation and maintenance. Due to the three actuators (one relay and two MIS transistors) GUARD Net controller is perfect for the management of the electromagnetic and electromechanical locks, turnstiles, and barriers. Specific configurations provide connection to the activator lock which requires a supply of different voltage polarity for opening and closing.

A separate fire input increases fire safety since the activation of the fire alarm unlocks the passage regardless of connection with the PC.

A second RS-485 port is implemented within the GUARD Net controller as a galvanically isolated RS-485 line repeater. Thus the long network circuit may build as multiple short galvanically isolated segments. This greatly improves the interference protection and the software will take all the devices connected to the same RS-485 line.
