The AMC2 (Access Modular Controller) is used as an

access controller in the access control systems ACE

(ACCESS ENGINE) from version 2.0 onward, Access

Personal Edition, and Access Professional Edition. The

device controls a group of one to eight access points.

These access points, also known as entrances, mainly

consist of doors, gates, barriers, turn stiles, revolving

doors, mantraps, ID card readers, door opening

elements and sensors. The AMC2 can control up to

eight ID card readers (depending on the reader type)

and is designed for fully processing the access logic at

the assigned entrances.

Status checks can be carried out using the eight

analog inputs. The eight relay outputs are used to

activate the door opening elements and/or generate

the security activation and signaling. The AMC2 stores

all necessary information in a battery-buffered memory

and a compact flash storage element so that, even

when the unit is offline, it is able to carry out

independent authorization checks on access points,

take access decisions, control closing/opening

elements and register movement events.

4 = Communication and power supply

As shown in the diagram, the AMC2 is integrated

between the host system (e.g. Access Engine) and the

peripheral devices.

They are connected to the host system via RS485,

RS232 (e.g. modem operation) or Ethernet, depending

on the size of the system. The relevant host interface

is selected during installation. All three interfaces are
