The INWE 4 Door Controller

The Controller is a versatile Four Door Networked board, it has been designed with the benefit of working directly with access control installers.

The aim of the controller is to offer a flexible premium controller, whilst offering simple connectivity and networking.

Coastform are committed to help installers with their installations and offer on line and telephone support.

The controller has a number of inbuilt monitors, which will offer protection to the individual door controls, in the event of an output short - a fault on 1 door will not disable the other doors

This controller will be evolved, in the future, to include Blue Tooth management. Whilst this will not offer all the features of a PC managed system, it will allow management of the system from a smart phone or tablet

The Board

The board has 4 identical Door Controls, one on the top, one on the bottom and one on each side

The individual door controllers can be though of as comprising three distinct areas

1. Inputs -Exit Switch, Door Contact and 1 user defined input 
   
2. Reader - INWE reader for the 3 wire INWE reader or 7 wires which will allow most Wiegand or Clock& Data readers to be connected - the colour of the cores that individual manufacturers use can vary, the core function is identified.
   
3. Output - The board voltage will define the lock output as 24V or 12V                                                          The Lock + and Lock -, should be used for all fail safe and fail secure locks, the software is used to define the output type                                                                                                                                                       The lock +/- output, has built in protection against back emf and does not require a diode at the lock                                                                                                                                                                 The Relay output can be utilised for external supplies or as a volt free contact.
   

On the left hand side of the board, above door 4 controls there is the input voltage supply, this is designed for 12V & 24V DC supplies, there is also an input for Tamper

On the right hand side of the board, above the "door 2" controls, the 3 wire 485 network connections are shown, there are also switches for end of line resistors
