I n t r o d u c i n g A x i o m V ™
The RBH AxiomV™System combines access control, building management, and
security monitoring in a highly integrated and expandable package. AxiomV™
Security Management Software runs on a standard IBM compatible PC and is
designed for use in installations ranging from simple two door systems to
complex systems covering multiple sites and containing thousands of access
points and tens of thousands of cardholders.
The system can monitor over 1,000 networked controller units (NC-100) with
each controller capable of monitoring eight card readers and 320 input/output
points. Remote site monitoring capability is 4,096 readers and 65,535
input/output points. Local site capacity exceeds 8,000 readers and 250,000
input/output points. A minimum configuration consists of a PC, a single
controller unit (NC-100) and a single reader controller (RC-2) that allows
connection of two card readers, eight inputs and eight outputs.
The PC is used for data entry, setting up the database, and monitoring activity on
the system. Once the database is downloaded to the controllers, the PC is not
required for system operation. Should the PC be powered down, the NC-100
controller will perform all access and other control functions, including logging
up to 100,000 events. When the connection is restored, the log is reported to the
PC.
AxiomV™Security Management software runs on all standard PC networks. On
a networked PC system, all control functionality and system monitoring is
available at all PCs. Networked systems are usually necessary on larger
installations where a single operator can not handle the volume of incoming
messages.
The AxiomV™system hardware consists of a number of different networks. The
controller network (C-NET) links up to fifteen controller units to a single port
on the PC. This network can be directly connected to a serial port on the PC in
which case a separate serial port is required for each network. Controller
number one in the network is designated the master and is connected to the PC
and all other controllers are referred to as slaves.
All controllers in the network are connected together in a fault tolerant, high
speed Arcnet LAN. Arcnet is a highly reliable networking architecture and is
widely used in industrial control applications. This LAN module transfers data
at speeds of 156k bits/second to 2.5M bits/second and when wired in a ring is
immune to a single point of attack. The network will continue to operate
normally with a single short or a cut on any inter- controller connection.
The controllers use a powerful Motorola 32-bit micro controller and come
standard with 256k bytes of RAM. A plug in memory expansion board allows
the memory to be expanded to 16 Megabytes. All RAM is battery backed by a

replaceable lithium battery. A built in watchdog circuit monitors the operation
of the controller and performs a system reset if an out of control situation is
detected.
Each controller has a second local network (D-NET) for connection to card
reader controllers (RC-2) and input/output boards (IOC-16). This RS485
network operates at 38400 bits/second and is also wired in a fault tolerant ring
providing protection from a single point of failure. Devices can be placed on the
local network up to 3000 feet (1000 meters) apart and the network supports up to
twenty devices (up to four RC-2s and up to sixteen IOC-16s). The controller
polls each device on the network and processes any data reported such as access
verification requests and input status changes.
A RC-2 (Reader Controller) supports two access points. Each RC-2 can
monitor two reader or reader/keypad units; eight input points and control eight
output points. Inputs and outputs are programmable for dedicated access point
functions such as door contact, request to exit button and door lock or can be
used as general purpose I/O.
All operating information including times, facility codes, card formats and other
parameters are stored locally in non-volatile memory in the RC-2. If
communication is lost with the controller, the RC-2 can be programmed to
operate in facility code mode where access is granted upon presentation of a
valid facility code only. The system reverts to normal operation when
communication resumes with the controller.
IOC-16 (Input/Output Controller) devices have sixteen ports, each configurable
as an input or output. Outputs are programmable as normally energized or
normally de-energized and a fire panel input facilitates fail-safe operation.
Seven input configurations are provided ranging from simple normally closed
contacts to two EOL loops for high security applications.
The system architecture utilized by AxiomV™is extremely powerful, flexible,
and expandable. As new devices are developed for the system, compatibility
will be maintained with existing network devices, ensuring continued
possibilities for system upgrading and expansion.

The AxiomV™access control system consists of one or more network controllers
(NC-100). All information required by the controller is downloaded from the
PC and stored locally in battery backed flash memory. This information includes
configuration data, cardholder records, access levels, schedules, and all other
records necessary for the operation of the system. The controller operates
independent of the PC and all decision-making is performed locally, even in the
event of total power loss.
The NC-100 contains a powerful 32-bit micro-controller and has a base RAM
configuration of 256k, expandable to 16M. Advanced features including 32-bit
processing, built in high speed LAN interface, Flash RAM, and fault tolerant
design make the NC-100 one of the most powerful and versatile controllers
currently available.
