Up to 32 ACUs can be linked together and connected to a single communication port on the PC. The RS485 interface must be used when multiple controllers are connected. The serial port used to control the ACU is assigned in the AxTrax™ AS-525 software Network Properties dialog box. AC-215 Installation Manual...
The modem is used when the distance between the ACU and the PC is greater than the recommended serial connection distance or in an application where an alternative RS232/RS485 network is unavailable. Figure 2 illustrates remote site modem configuration with AC-215. Figure 2: Remote Site Modem Configuration For more information, see Appendix B.
The following type of connection is used when a LAN network already exists and therefore the long RS485 network is not required. This schematic illustrates the connection of a single AC-215 to the PC using the LAN network. MD-N32 must be first configured by Rosslare's Netconfig software. The setting is stored in a non-volatile memory in the MD-N32.
Wiring Wiring Inputs Figure 5 illustrates wiring for four AC-215 inputs. For further details, see Chapter 3. Figure 5: Wiring Four AC-215 Inputs Outputs Figure 6 and Figure 7 illustrate wiring for two main types of 12VDC electric release mechanisms. Other electrical devices can be switched using the voltage free relay contacts.
Figure 7: Door Lock – Fail Open 6.2.1 Power Supply Figure 8 illustrates wiring between the PS-14 power supply and the AC-215. It is recommended to add a 12 VDC lead acid backup battery to backup power if the main fails.
