Introduction
Description
The extension module AMC2-4WE is equipped with four
Wiegand type reader-interfaces plus eight inputs and eight
outputs. Hence with the AMC2-4WE it is possible to double the
number of readers on an AMC2-4W from 4 to 8.
Figure 3.1: The extension module AMC2-4WE
The AMC2-4WE can not be deployed as an independent
controller but only as an extension module for the AMC2-4W.
Control and access decisions and bookings are carried out by
the AMC2-4W alone.
Notice!
The AMC2-4WE can only be used with AMC2-4W. As it provides
Wiegand interfaces it cannot be coupled with an AMC2-4R4.
The AMC2-4W can be extended by a maximum of one
AMC2-4WE plus a maximum of three I/O extension modules. The
I/O extension modules AMC2-8IOE, AMC2-16IOE, or AMC2-16IE
(in any combination) are, like the AMC2-4WE, connected via the
AMC2-4W’s extension interface.

Notice!
The AMC2-4WE has no display. The information about the input
and outputs will be shown on special pages of the AMC2
display.
As the extension modules contain neither memory nor display
they are controlled and monitored entirely by the AMC2-4W.
The AMC2-4W can have an additional interface extension
module AMC2-4WE, so that the number of inputs and outputs
can grow up to 64.
Notice!
An AMC2-4WE provides signals only to the AMC2 to which it is
connected. Signal transfer to another AMC2 is not possible.
The signal settings and parametrization of the readers
connected to the extension module, are carried out by the
configuration applications in the access control system and by
the AMC2-4W to which it belongs.

Performance Characteristics
– Controlled by an AMC2 via RS-485
– Reader interfaces
– four Wiegand interfaces
– Eight relay outputs
– voltage free, power is supplied externally (dry mode)
– powered by internal power supply (wet mode)
– Eight analog inputs with internal power supply
– Transfer rate to the extension interface: 9,6 kBit/s
– Self regulating transmit/receive switching

– or over the RS-485 host connector
– Information about the inputs and outputs on the display of
the AMC2 controller
– Tamper contact for external covers
Notice!
If an external power supply is used, this should also guarantee
an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). Example: Bosch power
supply APS-PSU-60 (F.01U.282.970).
System Overview
The AMC2-4WE is connected between the access controller
AMC2-4W and the various peripheral devices.

System configurations for Access Control applications.
– The minimum configuration consists of:
– one PC with system software,
– one AMC2 controller,
– one AMC power supply,
– one AMC enclosure.
– The maximum configuration depends on the system
software,
AMC2 Wiegand
Extension Introduction | en 17
Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH 2016-11 | AMC2-4WE |

– Each AMC2-4W controller can be extended with an
AMC2-4WE extension module.
The using of AMC2-4WE modules has no influence on the limit of
the maximum of controllers in one system, because it is an
extension to an AMC2-4W and not a controller.
Using Wiegand reader interfaces, up to four peripheral devices
can be connected to each AMC2-4WE. The interfaces are point-
to-point connections, meaning that only one reader can be
connected to one interface.

Installing
Notice!
To build an UL approved system refer the documentation
contained in the folder titled "_UL" on the delivered CD.
Mounting
The AMC2-4WE can be attached on a standard 35 mm
(1.377 in.) mounting rail using a snap-in mechanism. Attach the
AMC2-4WE into the upper edge of the mounting rail [1], then
push down the device and snap it onto the rail by pushing it
towards the back [2].

Unmounting
Notice!
To remove the AMC2-4WE from a mounting rail, first remove all
pluggable connectors.
Push down the AMC2-4WE until the lower edge snaps out of the
mounting rail [1]. Pull the lower end of the AMC2-4WE from the
mounting rail [2].
