Networking an access control system would seem to be an enormous if not impossible task, where in fact it couldn’t be more simple.

 

The DDS system has been designed so that custom made TCP/IP interfaces can be easily be fitted to the Toplock 4 Rev D range of control systems.

 

The diagram on the left shows a genuine and very real system which controls some 250 doors across the UK from one central computer based in London.

 

The controllers on the remote sites are connected to the customers own Intranet.

The system handles uploads very quickly and continuously downloads events from the control systems.

In addition to the access control elements of the system, fire, intruder, air conditioning failure and mains power failure are also monitored, allowing the control room operator to act upon alarms and summon the correct response quickly.

Control interfaces such as the EXT TCPT or UDS10, when connect to the Toplock controller, will allow direct connection to a network. Both units will further allow 31 additional controllers to be connected via a local RS485 line.

The EXT TCPT interface connects to all Toplock Rev D controllers.

The UDS10 interface connects to all Toplock Rev B controllers
