The MC16 is a multi-door physical access and building automation controller dedicated to RACS 5 system. Depending on the version, it allows to control up to 16 two-way doors and 32 automation nodes (states). MC16 can be integrated with intruder alarm system by means of IO lines. The MC16 can be used as data collector device for time and attendance reporting systems. Generally, controller was designed to operate with MCT (RS485) series readers, nevertheless it can work with Wiegand and RACS CLK/DTA readers as well. The RS485 communication bus allows free cable topology (e.g. three, star and combination of them) and accepts any type of signal cables.Controller is equipped with Ethernet interface which is used for system configuration and management. System is managed by VISO client-server Windows application operating with Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft SQL Server Compact database. Communication between PC and controller is fully encrypted using AES-128-CBC method and can be conducted either in LAN or WAN computer networks. Usually, system configuration takes less than one minute and doesn’t depend on number of controllers which is theoretically unlimited.
