The following figure shows an example of the main elements involved in an access
control system and the interactions between them:
Figure 1. Access control system elements.
IWAC Display v3 (In-Wall Access Control): device with NFC reader that is
installed outside the room for access controlling. The opening orders will be
transmitted to Securel v3 by encrypted serial channel.
IWAC Out (In-Wall Access Control Out): KNX secure device with NFC reader
to be installed outdoors, to control access to a room. The opening orders will
be transmitted to Securel v3 by KNX bus. Although not mandatory, it is highly
recommended to set KNX secure for this communication.
Securel v3: final element acting on the lock when granting access from
access management modules.
In the idle state, Securel v3 will keep the electric strike locked to prevent the
door opening. When the access is granted from management module,
Securel v3 will release the lock for a while to open the door.
BMS (Building Management System): computer system that assumes the

Z-Access: application that allows employees to record access cards. In
