Introduction

The document describes the functions and configuration options of the software Facility Management Control Unit.

The Facility Management Control Unit is software for access control management. It can be used in an enclosed area such as a sports or entertainment center, an airport zone, universities or security areas. The main components of the software solution are:

• An automated passage control with two-part door and signal lighting
• Barcode (or/and RFID) scanners that read identification data from the customer's ticket or card
• Tracking cameras observing the passage of customers
• Info screens showing inbound and outbound information to the customer
• One or more external speakers
• One or more additional monitors with content tailored to customer needs

The main features are:

• Opening access control upon successful ticket validation
• Interaction with customer in response to various events through:
  • Light effects
  • Voice prompts through internal or external speakers
  • Acoustic confirmation of the reading process from barcode scanners
  • Visual content displayed on an info screen
  • Safe opening and closing of the swing doors by monitoring the passage area

Supported operating modes:

• Normal
• Service
• Fire alarm
• Emergency

The variants of Entry Tickets:

• Single entry ticket with closing of access control after passage of one person
• Multiple entry ticket with permanent access control
• Adjustable time intervals
• Consideration of additional conditions about potential-free contacts

Technical Background

The FMCU software is based on a customized UNIX operating system, which has been produced using the Yocto Project. Only the required services are activated in the operating system. The optimal support packages for the CPU type are taken into account when creating the operating system. These so-called Board Support Packages (BSP) are provided by the hardware manufacturers and allow optimal and efficient utilization of the hardware resources.

Functions

In principle, the functions are mapped via the signal processing. The signals are generated by different sources including:

• Light bar
• Light sensor
• Ceiling sensor
• Other

The location of the sensors is shown in the figure below. In each half of the frame there is a so-called "inner zone" and an "outer zone". When passing through an access control, a signal flow diagram is generated, which is used to map the following functions.

The light bar serves as a source for several signals and is also divided into different areas.

The following signals are installed in the standard configuration.

Signal Name	Frame Half
Entry Confirmation	Entry
Entry Gate Sensor [U1_E2]	Entry
Entry Outer LightBar	Entry
Exit Inner LightBar	Entry
Free Entry [1000]	Entry
Lock Entry [0100]	Entry
Open Entry [U1_U2_E3]	Entry
Open Entry 70% [U1_E9]	Entry
Remote Open Entry	Entry
Service Entry [1100]	Entry
Emergency Remote	Exit
Emergency [U1_U2_E8]	Exit
Entry Inner LightBar	Exit
Exit Confirmation	Exit
Exit Gate Sensor [U2_E5]	Exit
Exit Outer LightBar	Exit
Free Exit [0010]	Exit
Lock Exit [0001]	Exit
Open Exit [U1_U2_E4]	Exit
Open Exit 70% [U2_E9]	Exit
Remote Open Exit	Exit
Service Exit [0011]	Exit

Closing-run at reduced Speed

This function applies to signals that have the property CloseGate > 0. For the affected signals, the value Close gate speed, % * must be defined with a value between 10 and 100%. It is therefore possible to define appropriate closing speeds for different passage scenarios. The default value is set to 100%. In the standard configuration, the following signals meet this requirement.

Signal	Parameter	Value
Tailgating watcher	Close gate speed, % *	100%
Entry Gate Sensor [U1_E2]	Close gate speed, % *	100%
Exit Gate Sensor [U2_E5]	Close gate speed, % *	100%
Entry Outer LightBar	Close gate speed, % *	100%
Exit Outer LightBar Exit	Close gate speed, % *	100%

Passage Confirmation

This function sets an impulse with an adjustable duration in the connection board for connection A8.

Suitcase Trolley Detection

This function is active when the listed parameters are set for the following signals. It means that a person with a suitcase being pulled behind them can pass through prematurely closing swing doors without being disturbed.

Signal	Parameter	Value
Middle Gate Sensor [U1_E1]	Protect from force close	true
Inner LightBar	Protect from force close	true

Multiple Opening

This function is only valid if a reader has been set up for the entry direction. It means that several people can pass through the entrance in a row without the swing door being closed in the meantime. Each person must present a ticket at the card reader at the entrance. The swing doors only remain open if the validation is successful. This function is active when the listed parameters are set for the following signals.

Signal	Parameter	Value
Middle Gate Sensor [U1_E1]	Protect from force close	true
Inner LightBar	Protect from force close	true
Entry Outer LightBar	Protect from force close	true
Entry Gate Sensor [U1_E2]	Protect from force close	true
Tailgating watcher	Activated	false

Tips for Working

If you have lost the overview when configuring the signals, you can use the function

Reset to Default

restore a defined initial state.

Note

If you use the "Rest to Default" function, the current settings will be lost. If necessary, you can export the current configuration before this step.
