Smartec ST-NC240F Network Controller

The Smartec ST-NC240F network controller is designed for two one-way or one two-way access point, four card readers with Wiegand 26 or Wiegand 34 interfaces and four ST-FR015EM fingerprint scanners connected via RS-485. Compatible with most codebase panels. Supports identification by card, fingerprint, code, or a combination of both.

Specifications:

• The number of cardholders is 30,000.
• The number of fingerprints is 3000.
• The number of events is 100,000.
• The number of access levels is 256.
• The number of time zones is 256.

The controller is based on a 32-bit 400 MHz processor, the OS is Embedded Linux. It works under Timex control.

Functionality:

• Control of locks with NO and NC contacts.
• Support for the anti—passback ban.
• Access via multiple cards (multi-person rule).
• Gateway mode (when the reed switch is connected).
• Pass code support under duress.
• System freeze protection is a hardware watchdog timer.
• Unblocking on the first card.

It works for a long time with full functionality without constant communication with the server. It is equipped with 256 MB Flash memory and 32 MB RAM.

Hardware protection measures are provided:

• Over-voltage, over-current protection.
• Over-voltage protection across all communication ports.
• Over-voltage protection across all inputs/outputs.
• From the reverse polarity of the power supply.

The ST-NC240F is equipped with indicators for card reading, connection status and data transmission over TCP/IP, and data transmission over the RS-485 bus when communicating with readers and PCs. It is equipped with DIP switches to set the device address in the RS-485 bus and turn on the terminator.

Other interfaces:

• The Ethernet port.
• RS-485 for communication with a PC.
• RS-485 for communication with peripherals.
• Two lock relays.
• Two inputs for connecting exit buttons.
• Two inputs for connecting the door position sensor.
• Two additional inputs for connecting security sensors and detectors.
• Two additional outputs for connecting external equipment.
• Inputs for connecting power to the controller and locks.

It is supplied without a housing, the ST-AC001BX metal box and the ST-AC001MP mounting plate are optional. The operating temperature range is 0 ° C... +55 °C. Power supply — DC 12 V. The current consumption is 350 mA (excluding readers). The dimensions of the controller are 186×106× 36 mm.
