PW6K1ICE Introduction
Overview
1.1 Overview
The PW6K1ICE intelligent controller provides decision making, event reporting, and
database storage for the Honeywell hardware platform. Two reader interfaces
configured as paired or alternate readers provide control for one door.
Host communication is via the on-board 10-BaseT/100Base-TX Ethernet port.
One physical barrier can be controlled with the PW6K1ICE, using single or paired
readers.
A total of 16 PW6K1R1E downstream boards can be connected to PW6K1ICE.
The first reader port
can accommodate a read head that utilizes Wiegand, magnetic
stripe, or 2-wire RS-485 electrical signaling standards, one or two wire LED controls,
and buzzer control (one wire LED mode only). This port can also utilize multiple RS-
485 multi-dropped devices.
The second reader port
can accommodate a read head that utilizes Wiegand or
magnetic stripe signaling, one or two wire LED controls, and buzzer control (one wire
LED mode only).
Two form-C relay outputs may be used for strike control or alarm signaling. The relay
contacts are rated at 2A @ 30VDC, dry contact configuration.
Two inputs are provided for monitoring the door contact, exit push button or alarm
contact.
The PW6K1ICE requires 12VDC for power or Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The PW6K1ICE may be mounted in a 3-gang switch box; a mounting plate is supplied
with the unit. Refer to “Additional Mounting Information” on page 18 for UL
enclosure requirements.
The PW6K1ICE may be mounted in an enclosure.
The encryption between PW6101 and its down-stream I/O board PW6K1R1E is built-
in and automatic.
Terminology:
“PW6K1ICE” is the product number. “PW6K101” is the product name.
Both refer to the same controller board.
