System Overview

The Access Controller AMC2-4R4 is connected between the management host system and
different peripheral devices. By default, a management host system is connected using
Ethernet. A management host connection using RS-485 or RS-232 is also possible.
Corresponding to the available interfaces, one AMC2 can be connected to each COM port
using RS-232 mode. In RS-485 mode, up to eight access controllers can be combined on one
party line.

Using RS-485 reader interfaces, up to eight peripheral devices can be connected to each
AMC2. The four reader interfaces are divided into two buses. Interface 1 and 2 are on one bus,
and interfaces 3 and 4 are on the other bus. With this arrangement, you can connect all
readers to one interface.
The extension interface supports up to three additional I/O boards (AMC2-8IOE, AMC2-16IE,
or AMC2-16IOE). All extension boards are controlled by the AMC2 and are freely combinable.
