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:

Signale

Die Informationen in diesem Abschnitt basieren auf der FMCU-Software v2.3.7 und der WEAC-Version 32.14.

FMCU-Signale.png

Technischer Hintergrund

Die Software FMCU basiert auf einem angepassten UNIX-Betriebssystem, welche unter Anwendung des Yocto-Projektes produziert worden ist. Es werden nur die benötigten Dienste im Betriebssystem aktiviert. Es werden die für den CPU-Typ optimalen Unterstützungspakete bei der Erstellung des Betriebssystems berücksichtigt. Diese sogenannten Board Support Packages (BSP) werden von den Hardwareherstellern zur Verfügung gestellt und gestatten eine optimale und effiziente Ausnutzung der Hardwareressourcen.

Funktionen

Grundsätzlich werden die Funktionen über die Signalverabeitung abgebildet. Die Signale werden durchunterschiedliche Quellen erzeugt. Dazu gehören:

  • Lichtleiste
  • Lichtsensor
  • Deckensensor
  • Sonstige

Die Anordnung der Sensoren ist in der nachfolgenden Abbildung dargestellt. In jeder Rahmenhälfte befindet sich eine sogenannte "Inner-Zone" und eine "Outer-Zone". Bei Durchschreiten einer Zutrittskontrolle wird ein Signalflussdiagramm erzeugt, welches für die Abbildung der nachfolgenden Funktionen genutzt wird.

image sensors.png

Die Lichtleiste dienst als Quelle für mehrere Signale und ist ebenfalls in unterschiedliche Bereiche unterteilt.

image lightbar.png

In der Standardkonfiguration sind folgende Signale konfiguriert.

Signalname Rahmenhälfte
Entry Confirmation Eingang
Entry Gate Sensor [U1_E2] Eingang
Entry Outer LightBar Eingang
Exit Inner LightBar Eingang
Free Entry [1000] Eingang
Lock Entry [0100] Eingang
Open Entry [U1_U2_E3] Eingang
Open Entry 70% [U1_E9] Eingang
Remote Open Entry Eingang
Service Entry [1100] Eingang
Emergency Remote Ausgang
Emergency [U1_U2_E8] Ausgang
Entry Inner LightBar Ausgang
Exit Confirmation Ausgang
Exit Gate Sensor [U2_E5] Ausgang
Exit Outer LightBar Ausgang
Free Exit [0010] Ausgang
Lock Exit [0001] Ausgang
Open Exit [U1_U2_E4] Ausgang
Open Exit 70% [U2_E9] Ausgang
Remote Open Exit Ausgang
Service Exit [0011] Ausgang

Schliessfahrt mit reduzierter Geschwindigkeit

Diese Funktion ist für Signale zutreffend, die die Eigenschaft CloseGate > 0 aufweisen. Bei den betroffenen Signalen muss der Wert Close gate speed, % * mit einem Wert zwischen 10 und 100% definiert werden. Es besteht somit die Möglichkeit, für unterschiedliche Durchgangszenarien entsprechende Schließgeschwindigkeiten zu definieren. Der Standardwert ist auf 100% festgelegt. In der Standardkonfiguration erfüllen folgende Signale diese Voraussetzung.

Signal Parameter Wert
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%

Durchgangsbestätigung

Diese Funktion setzt einen Impuls mit einer einstellbaren Zeitdauer im Anschlussboard für den Anschluss A8.Zusätzlich wird erfolgte Durchgang in der Statistik berücksichtigt.

Koffertrolleyerkennung

Diese Funktion ist aktiv wenn bei folgenden Signalen die aufgeführten Parameter gesetzt werden. Es bedeutet, dass eine Personen mit einem hinter sich herziehenden Koffer ohne Störung durch vorzeitig schleißende Schwenktüren passieren kann.

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

Mehrfachöffnung

Diese Funktion ist nur dann gültig, wenn ein Leser für die Eingangsrichtung eingerichtet worden ist. Es bedeutet, dass mehrere Personen in einer Reihe nacheinander den Eingang passieren können, ohne dass die Schwenktür zwischenzeitlich geschlossen wird. Es muss von jeder Person ein Ticket am Kartenleser am Eingang präsentiert werden. Nur bei erfolgreicher Validierung bleiben die Schwenktüren geöffnet. Diese Funktion ist aktiv wenn bei folgenden Signalen die aufgeführten Parameter gesetzt werden.

Signal Parameter Wert
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 Aktiviert false

Tipps zum Arbeiten

image reset-to default.png

Wenn man die Übersicht bei der Konfiguration der Signale verloren hat, kann man über die Funktion

Reset to Default

einen definierten Ausgangszustand wiederherstellen.

Maxcrc MediaWiki:Icon-info.png
Hinweis
Wenn man die Funktion "Rest to Default" anwendet, gehen die aktuellen Einstellungen verloren. Man kann bei Bedarf vor diesem Schritt die aktuelle Konfiguration exportieren.
