We
manufacturer a full range of CAN access
control devices, click on the item

In
designing our acccess control systems
we were prompt in forecasting the
change in the Industry and have invested
a substantial investment of funding,
research and development into developing
our new systems.
We
have addressed
the issues of
- Integration
with IT
- The
common acceptance of Mifare smart
cards
- The
Green Effect - power consumption
- Cost
of Ownership
- Size
of components
- Ease
and Cost of Installation
- Health
and Safety standards
In
doing this, our products have been
completely re-engineered. we use CAN
technology for data transfer across
the Access Control Systems Network.
CAN was developed by Bosch for use
in the Automotive and Automation industry
as a cost effective communications
bus, and as an alternative to cumbersome
wiring looms. CAN has also been
adopted by ISO as an open communications
standard for intelligent devices and
is now being increasingly popular
in industrial control and building
automation. CAN is up to 100 times
faster than traditional solutions.
CAN protocol also allows any device
on the network to talk to other devices
without the need to be sent through
a central hub or switch. This allows
important messages such as "emergency
door open" be sent, and actioned,
even if the controller is down. True
networking technology has many advantages
over legacy methods including:
- Plug
and Play technology means devices can be
installed onto the network without special
programming and minimum fuss
- All
the devices share the CAN network, requiring
less hardware, and bespoke cabling
- Less
power is used by CAN, compared
to legacy systems enabling a number
of devices being installed on 1
power supply, in most cases, a whole
building. Average legacy systems
reader heads use approx 280mA at
12 volts compared to 90mA with CAN.
This also means less batteries are
used, maintained, disposed of.
- Power
over LAN/CAT5 allows for both Data
and Power to be sent down the 1
cable. The whole job can be completed
by the installer, doing away with
the need for an electrician to supply
240v power to each device
In
saying this, the choice for CAN was
simple. This enables the installers,
contractor, architects and designers
to install systems in hard to reach
places, and rids the need of unsightly
power supplies and boxes. Borer has
also integrated CAN with existing
LAN's so it also reduces the need
for bespoke cabling. Why install access
control, alarm monitoring, time attendance,
secure locker management over 3 or
more systems, when it can be installed
into 1, and even installed on an existing
LAN.
This has also allowed us to integrate
our software with current IT methods
and smart cards. The software can
be accessed by any PC on the corporate
LAN that has access to the main Server
that houses the Software, in some
cases, through a standard web browser.
We
predominently use components for our
devices from the Mobile Telephone
Industry (also ISO standards). This
makes our equipment much more compact
than our competitors, and with the
lack of space in modern day buildings,
this proves a valuable advantage.
With our system, you can install the
batteries in a central location, at
user level, and run all your devices
off a single bus, without supplying
anymore power to each device (dependant
on the amount of devices). This makes
for easier maintenance, keeping everything
serviceable at user level. We also
use much less power, meaning less
batteries are used, which cost less
to dispose of, making our products
very "green" |
