3 Introduction
3.1 Description of the AMC2 4W
The AMC2 4W is equipped with four independent interfaces for
Wiegand type readers. By that it is able to control two doors
with a reader in each direction and up to four doors with a
reader in one direction only.
Fig. 3.1 The Access Modular Controller AMC2 4W
All necessary information for access verification is stored in a
battery buffered on-board memory and a Compact Flash (CF)
memory card. This guarantees autonomous access decisions
and complete access registrations even if the management host
system is offline. The built in compact flash adapter provides
adequate storage capability for cardholders and events.
The AMC2 4W electronic is completely covered by a plastic
housing. The LC Display provides all important status informa-
tion.
Using the AMC2 4W gives you the full functionality and the
offline capability of a complete access control system on each
room. This leads to an excellent reliability and a very high
redundancy without paying extra money.

Fig. 3.2 The AMC2 4W in a four door safety lock
The AMC2 4W can communicate upstream to the host computer
via eight RS-485 multi-dropped, RS-232 or 10/100 Mbit/s Ether-
net. It has eight analog input devices and eight relay outputs.
With its analog input devices, the AMC2 4W verifies, for exam-
ple, if a lock is closed or open. The relay outputs can be used to
activate lock mechanisms if access is granted, or activate an
external alarm system if an intrusion or system alert is
detected. If the eight input and output on board are not enough
to configure the system up to three additional extensions (AMC
8I-8O or AMC 16I-16O) can be connected. The extensions offer
8 or 16 additional inputs and outputs.
The setup procedure for an AMC2 4W is very simple and
extremely fast by the use of door templates. Once selected, all
the inputs and outputs are predefined. This settings can be
changed using the Device Editor in that way to choose every
free contact of the AMC2 4W or an connected extension.
