If a non-existent or incorrectly addressed door is enabled, the door will be polled for a short while,
then the status will be displayed as
Door Offline.
IO MODULES
The IOM (Input/Output Module) is wired to the controller on the same RS-485 network as the
ACTpro 100 Door stations. The IOM are addressed using the DIP switches on the PCB. The IOMs
are maybe given any address in the range 1 to 4. No configuration of the IOM is possible from the
ACTpro 3000. All configuration can only be performed from ACTWin pro. However the IOM
maybe enabled from this menu which allows the communications between the ACTpro 3000 and
the IOM to be tested without the need for ACTWin pro.
SET ADDRESS
This option allows the address of the controller to be set when it is operating in a networked
system or when directly connected to a PC. The valid address may be from 1 to 255 and
corresponds to the number of the controller as configured in ACTWin pro.
DIRECT CONN.
This option informs the controller that it is connected directly to a controlling PC, rather than via
a network interface. In this mode of operation, only a single controller may be connected to the
PC via a cable (max 30m) from one of the PC serial ports.
COMMS SPEED
Communications on the controller defaults to 9600 baud. However speeds of 19200 and 57600
baud can be selected from this menu. This option applies to direct connect to a PC and printer
modes of operation. 9600 and 19200 baud are permitted on the single-line RS485 networked
interface. 9600 baud only is permitted on the ACT 4-Line RS485 interface.
SLAVE MODE
This option selects slave mode operation as part of an ACT5000pc network. While the controller
is switched into slave mode and all card events are transmitted to the network master for
validation. The controller itself will not make any decisions on card events unless it is operating
in fallback mode due to a network failure. This option is always set to NO when using ACTWin
pro.
NO HIST. LOG
This option suppresses the reporting of events occurring while offline in
slave mode only.
Normally when the controller is operating in slave mode, events are logged locally if the controller
is offline, and are transmitted to the PC when communications are restored.
PRINT ALL
This option selects real-time printing to an attached serial printer. Each event is time stamped and
printed immediately on the printer. Real-time printing will be temporarily suspended while a full
log printout requested from the operator menu is in progress.
REMOTE DOORS
This menu is where additional door stations are configured as extra doors on the ACTpro 3000
controller. The new door (Door 3 to 16) is selected using the
0
key and the current status of the door
is displayed on the bottom line of the LCD. The
✔
key may then be used to enable or disable the
door:
