Card Reader / Biometric Interface

Control access to your press production system with support for a variety of RFID and barcode readers, as well as biometric devices, such as fingerprint scanners.

Now you can prevent non-authorized personnel from accessing critical press systems and more accurately control who can change settings on a subsystem by subsystem basis. This interface works with the built-in access control for the 5100-APC, the 5100-MPC, the 5100-AMC, the 5100-AMC-Servo, the 1200 Tonnage Monitor, and the 2600 PLS & Die Protection Systems. Card/badge readers or biometric scanners, such as fingerprint readers, replace passcodes to prevent unauthorized changes to job parameters that could damage or destroy your valuable machinery.

Scalability

Each terminal in this scalable interface can recognize up to 64 different identities.

Efficiency

Instead of having to enter a code for changing a job parameter, your employee can use an employee card or fingerprint to log in.

Granular Control

Up to 16 user-defined security profiles can be defined for selection by card or fingerprint, so different people are allowed to do different tasks.

Flexibility

The interface works with almost any kind of reader that can communicate serially. Use existing employee RFID badges, barcodes, fingerprint readers, or other modes of access that work best for your operations.

Features

integrates with nearly any device that connects via RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485
works with most devices that send a series of serial characters, such as bar code readers or RFID readers
Can support two devices via the OT806 operator terminals (all other supported Link operator terminals can handle one)
provides up to 64 different identifiers (from cards, barcodes, etc.) that can be registered per terminal
Enables each identifier to be programmed to log in to one of 16 user security profiles
