ACS "Guard" is a software and hardware complex designed to provide authorized access to the premises and protected areas of the facility. It can be integrated with burglar and security and fire alarms, as well as with a video surveillance system.

The "Guard" control and management system is a universal means of ensuring security. She has the ability to move into offline mode functioning in the event that the control computer is out of order, communication with the controller is cut off, or network equipment fails. In this case, each block of the system begins to work according to the programmed mode, typical for simple autonomous systems.

The ACS "Guard" has great potential in terms of modeling the structures of access control systems capable of solving a variety of tasks. At the same time, the modernization and expansion of the access control system does not require shutdown and the inevitable decrease in the level of security. Like most universal access control and management systems, the Sentinel can be used to ensure security at sites of various sizes.

The core of the Sentinel ACS system.

The basis of the system that controls the connected executive devices are high reliability microprocessor controllers from the company "MicroChip Technology, Inc." The clock frequency in the microprocessor-based access controller of the Sentinel ACS is formed by a quartz 3.58 MHz resonator.

System architecture.

The structure of the Sentinel ACS is universal: it can be used as an autonomous system aimed at providing access control through one access point, as a network system in which the controllers are included in one computer-controlled network. In the event of a system failure and interruption of communication with the control center, each individual ACS unit will perform its task according to the programmed algorithm.

Power can be supplied either from an external source or from an internal one. If power is supplied from an external source, this is the role of a three-wire network cable. In this case, one wire is used for data transmission, the other is common, and the third is the "+" of the power supply.

Connection to the network of the interface controller is carried out using a wire for data transmission and a common wire; it is connected to the PC COM port via an RS-232 interface.

ACS "Guard" software and parameters of its use.

Installation of the software is carried out in a simplified way within a short time. The interface of the Guardian software is simple and intuitive. The program is designed for its use by security specialists and does not require high IT qualifications from the operator.

Access control to protected premises, entering identifier data, deleting a user's pass and many other operations are performed in a couple of clicks with a manipulator. There is a main access profile for user groups and a backup profile in case it becomes necessary to make changes to the admission principle within a short time.

The software allows you to set up special profiles for tenants to block access after the lease expires. The system of "guest" one-time passes is supported.

The software allows you to track events in real time. The protection of the user database is carried out at several levels, which guarantees the safety of information in case of various kinds of failures. On the basis of the collected data, reports on the consumption of working hours, delays, overwork and so on can be built.

A tester is built into the Sentinel ACS software, which is designed for remote work with the system blocks. With its help, it is possible to view and edit the data stored in the controllers, as well as control their performance.

Parameters of interaction between hardware and software ACS "Guardian".

The "Guard" ACS software supports Gate-4k, Z-5R Net, Matrix II Net, IronLogic adapters. Adapters are used to connect executive devices to the Guardian software and combine them into one network.

Service structure of ACS "Guard" - the core of the system, the drivers of the connected equipment are located on the central computer. The advantage of this scheme is that the control console can be launched not only in the "command center", but also on other PCs in the system. Workstations that provide interaction between software and hardware can be computers with low computing power and low-capacity disks. This makes it easy to monitor and maintain data exchange lines, since all equipment used is controlled by one computer. For the same reason, it will not be difficult to monitor the state of drivers and functional modules.

Scheme No. 1 Construction of the "Guard" ACS.

Hardware ACS "Guard".

1. Network controller of ACS "Guard"

It is used to work in the structure of both network and autonomous access control systems. Differs in simplicity in installation and maintenance, has a high degree of protection against failures. In the access control system, it plays the role of an "interpreter" of signals coming from the system controllers into signals of a computer exchange protocol. The functions of this network controller include the "Accept" mode, thanks to which the lost database of identifiers can be restored. After activating the mode, data from all brought identifiers are entered into the controller's memory - thus, a new database is created. The "Blocking" mode allows you to use one card - a pass as a blocker. After the data is read from such a card, other users are denied or allowed access to the premises. Such a regime will be in demand if the specifics of the work require that users be allowed access to the premises only after a person appointed in charge of that sector.

2. Readers of ACS "Guard"

The Sentinel ACS readers are devices that transmit the received code from the presented identifier to the controller. The system can be used as standard readers designed for use in indoor areas under security, and readers in vandal-resistant design, combining high mechanical strength and resistance to a wide variety of weather conditions. The "Guard" ACS reading equipment supports the most common technologies of key fobs and identification cards, such as the EM-Marin and Proximity standards.

3. Controllers of ACS "Guard"

The “Guard” ACS controller is an electronic board with a built-in microprocessor. At the moment of receiving data from the access point reader, the controller requests information from the computer to determine the access rights of the presented identifier. If the result of the request is positive, the controller sends a signal that activates the actuator to open the lock.

If the result is negative, depending on the programmed algorithm of actions, the controller may issue special signals, sound and light. The functions of the controller also include processing signals from the sensors included in the system. There is also the possibility autonomous work controller, when the decision on access to the object is made based on the database of identifiers and the programmed algorithm of access to the object.

4. Adapters / convectors "Guard".

Strazh adapters / convectors convert RS485 / 422 signals into USB interface signals, and are also used to monitor events in real time via a terminal program. Automatically determine the direction of data transmission and reception, as well as their speed. They play the role of an "adapter" between the "Guard" access control system and devices of other brands.
