IOBoard 3

IOBoard 3

The IOBoard 3 controller was created in order to solve any access control problem. This board has the ability to simultaneously control multiple doors, multiple readers and multiple users.

With a system of easy installation, the biometric, RFID and other readers, are connected to the IOBoard through RJ12. This connection system allows also to power supply all readers at the same time it allows the communication between them and the controller.

In the same installation can exist several IOBoard controllers simultaneously, connected to the same Ethernet network in which the communication with the configuration software is established and even to the IOBoards communicate.

The internal firmware of the IOBoard was designed for the access control purpose and it has all the needed features for a complete control and autonomous operation.

Our Time Report software is fully integrated with this controller. We also have a communication DLL for this board. The controller can be configured through its Web server, without the need of using any software.
