MASC Software


Managed Automated Security Controls (MASC) from VUANCE, Inc. is a scalable enterprise-class application designed to integrate, control and automate access control, intrusion detection, alarm monitoring, intercom, video surveillance, DVR systesm, photo ID badging and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) into one seamless software package.

MASC's graphical user interface (GUI) provides operators with a visual representation of their facility.  Symbols, icons, sounds and text are dragged and dropped onto imported maps or floor plans and display the real-time status of one or many points.  Over 50 different operator control functions can be linked to these objects and automatically executed with a clikc of  a mouse or touch of the screen.  Even the response can be pre-determined based on the status of the point being controlled.

With only five main screens in the entire application, the status of a facility is always at your fingertips - not hidden under layers of menus or multiple screens.

MAIN FEATURES

MASC is a multi-user, multi-tasking solution that can be applied to single buildings, multiple buildings, sites or cities.

MASC operates in conjunction with VUANCE's MAC-Series controllers.  The controllers utilize Echelon's LongTalkTM (ANSI 709.1) communications protocol to deliver all the power of a PLC in a distributed processing environment.  Access control is no longer limited to just opening a door; internal ladder logic can be customized to meet specific needs.  Peer-to-peer communications allow direct communications between controllers.  One switch can be programmed to unlock any number of doors on multiple controllers.

Facility security is ensured if communications with the primary host is lost.  LonTalk provides redundant communications through primary and secondary network interfaces.
