Design and application
RWH-1 is a wireless hub dedicated to RACS 5
AIR system. The hub enables connection of
wireless devices to RS485 bus and their
control by MC16 access controller or other
device which controls the bus (e.g. bus
expander). The hub and connected wireless
devices form radio network which operates in
selected channel with specified network
identifier. The hub can operate with up to 8
wireless devices of all available types such as
RWL series lock (e.g. RWL-1, RWL-2) and
RWX series expanders (e.g. RWX-1, RWX-2).
Devices connected to the MC16 controller via
RWH-1 are operated in the same way as wired
devices connected to the MC16 and their
functions can be freely configured with VISO
management software. Multiple hubs can be
connected to a single access controller forming
multiple RACS 5 AIR radio networks. The
maximal number of hubs connected to
particular controller is limited by the number
of unoccupied addresses on its RS485 bus
while the maximal number of all devices
operated by the MC16 results from its
firmware and license. The same MC16
controller can operate with wireless and wired
devices.
Creation of wireless networks
Prior to connection of wireless devices to
access control system it is necessary to make
low level configuration of these devices and
then connect them within radio network. Both
can be done with RogerVDM software.
