Imagine an easy to use access control panel with all the power of a PLC.  The MAC-4R is an intelligent distributed processing access control panel with programmable ladder logic control functions normally needed for higher-end applications.  The integrated Echelon communication scheme brings reliability, high addressability, and inter-panel communications.

Readers, inputs, and outputs can be configured in any shape or form to meet special conditions for opening doors.  Real-time point status allows the user to see the true state of every point at all times.  The controllers can even be programmed to arm or disarm the building based on certain activity.  Analog devices can make decisions based on counts and greater than or less than commands.

So whether it's time-zone controlling a door to open at a certain time of day, or operating under the demanding controls of our U.S. State and Federal prisons, the MAC-4R Access Control Panle has what it takes to do the job.

MAIN FEATURES

Up to 4 readers and 16 outputs can be connected to one MAC-4R Access Controller.  Multiple controllers can be programmed to talk to one another through our use of Echelon's LongTalkTM peer-to-peer communcations.  Bus, Star or Loop technologies are all supported with up to 63 (panels) on one trunk line.  If one of those devices is a repeater, you can change topology types and add another 63 panels.  A project can start small with 4 or 8 doors and continue to expand into thousands of doors.

The controllers can be connected to one PC or multiple PCs throughout a campus.  Connection options include serial, fiber or ethernet adapters.

Ethernet adapters can be used to connect the control panel directly to your local or wide area network, saving thousands of dollars in cabling costs.

     VUANCE's MLC-16R is a fully Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with distributed intelligence.  Each 
     controller has its own processor and makes its own decisions.  Ladder logic programming is stored in
     every controller so you might call it a smart (S)PLC.  It's flexible, dependable and easy to program.

     The advantage here is simple.  Because every controller has its own processing power, the system can
     continue to grow without losing performance.  This also brings the single point of failure down to one
     controller.


     The Echelon communications network provides fast peer-to-peer communications between controllers;
     where one controller can control other controllers on the same network.  The family of products include a
     variety of input and output controllers, fully programmable and fully compatible with its sister product, the
     MAC-4R Access Controller.


     The MLC-16R supports 16 single-pole, double throw Form-C contacts rated at 120 VAC, 30 VDC @ 6
     amps.  The rugged construction provides 5 amp fusing for every relay with traces sized for 10 amps.  125
     VAC. LED status indicators provide visual status of the point.  Up to 7 controllers can be rack mounted in
     the ENC-RM enclosure.


     All points are programmable and can be used to activate or trigger other points.  Program information is
     stored in a non-volatile flash memory.  More than 500 instructions are allowed.  Programming structure is
     drag-n-drop full function ladder logic with over 50 ladder commands.  The system battery maintains a
     transaction buffer and time for a minimum of 6 months on power failure.  The real-time clock provides for
     timing down to the second.  If, for any reason, the controller is unable to transmit the event to the host
     computer, the controller's FIFO buffer will store up to 800 transactions.

MAIN FEATURES

The MLC-32i supports up to 32 input points.  Each input can be individually configured to operate as analog or binary.  In binary mode the inputs can operate as normal open or closed with no supervision, 3 or 4 state supervision.  Every point is equipped with LED status indicators to provide visual status of the point.  Up to 7 controllers can be rack mounted in the ENC-RM enclosure.

All points are programmable and can be used to activate or trigger other points.  Program information is stored in non-volatile flash memory.  More than 500 instructions are allowed.  Programming structure is drag-n-drop full function ladder logic with over 50 ladder commands.  The system battery maintains a transaction buffer and time for a minimum of 6 months on power failure.  The real-time clock provides for timing down to the second.  If, for any reason, the controller is unable to transmit the event to the host computer, the controller's FIFO buffer will store up to 800 transactions.
