Mercury I/O and Door Modules

Note: Doors. NET supports the Series 2 modules (green PCBs), the Series 3 modules (red PCBs) and the Series 4 modules (black PCBs). All series of modules are also interchangeable and backwards compatible.

 

SDM Single Door Module

 

The SCP-SDM Single Door Module is a low cost, high performance single card reader interface panel that is capable of all the I/O needed for controlling a single door. Based on the non-proprietary Mercury hardware platform, each SDM will interface one card reader, two general purpose input monitor points and two control relays to provide access control and

security monitoring through an intelligent controller.

 

The SDM’s reader port supports magnetic stripe, Wiegand and RS-485 readers. Keypads and integrated keypad readers are also supported. Hardware interface and card format settings are loaded through software commands. With its compact footprint and RS-485 connectivity, the SDM and can be clustered or distributed to best suit the installation environment.

The inputs and the relays may be assigned to door-related functions or to general purpose I/O. The inputs support normally open, normally closed, supervised and non-supervised circuits. End–of–line (EOL) resistance values are configurable. The relays can be configured for fail safe or fail secure operation.


The SDM is a versatile, reliable interface component for a single door. When connected to an EP Series Controller, the SDM passes access request and status change information to the intelligent controller for processing. Data and activities from selected system devices pass to other devices in the network, generating actions and activities as they transpire, independent of the host computer. Even when not connected to an intelligent controller, the SDM is capable of locally processing access requests based on facility code verification. Up to eight facility codes may be active in each SDM.

 

DDM Dual Door Module

 

The SCP-Dual Door Module is a low cost, high-performance device that provides all the I/O needed for controlling two doors with auxiliary point control and monitoring. Built on the nonproprietary Mercury hardware platform, each unit will interface two card readers and provide out-board flexibility to connect a Mercury intelligent controller to a Keri system network. The DDM will interface 2 card readers, 8 general purpose input monitor points and 6 control relays to an intelligent controller.

With two-wire RS-485 connectivity, the DDM’s two reader ports support magnetic stripe, Wiegand and RS-485 readers. Keypads and integrated keypad readers are also supported. Hardware interface and card format settings are loaded through software commands.


The inputs and the relays may be assigned to door-related functions or to general purpose I/O. The inputs support normally open, normally closed, supervised, and non-supervised circuits. End–of–line (EOL) resistance values are configurable. The relays can be configured for fail safe or fail secure operation.

Even when not connected to an intelligent controller, the DDM is capable of locally processing access requests based on facility code verification. Several facility codes may be active in each DDM.

 

MR16-IN (Input Control Module)

 

The MR16-IN Input Control Module is a multi-device interface panel to provide the ability to monitor high concentrations of inputs together with a low requirement for output control, unless paired with the MSC-OCM Output Control Module.

 

Based on the intelligent, non-proprietary Mercury hardware platform, the ICM is capable of supporting 16 general purpose input circuits which can be individually set for normally-open or normally closed operations and can be declared supervised and non-supervised. Individually configurable parameters can be set for sensitivity ranges, timing parameters and end-of-line resistance values.

 

Two programmable relay outputs can be configured for fail safe or fail secure operation, supporting “On”, “Off”, “Pulse”, and “Repeating Pulse” commands.


With these powerful control-point capacities on-board, the ICM is capable of controlling outboard devices and being activated by the condition of selected system devices locally or regionally without host intervention.

The ICM is an integral component to support Keri’s flexible, building-block approach to access control system design. The ICM provides the capacity to link, control and respond to an array of sensors. And with its RS-485 connectivity, it can be clustered or distributed to best suit each installation environment.

 

MR16-OUT - Output Control Module

 

The SCP-OCM Output Control Module is a multi-device interface panel that provides the ability to control high concentrations of outputs. With 16 general purpose outputs as Form C relay contacts, the OCM interfaces with intelligent controllers to add versatility to access control and security monitoring systems.

 

Based on the intelligent, non-proprietary Mercury hardware platform, the OCM can be configured to control a variety of outboard devices for general facility control such as lighting, heating/cooling, door and elevator control. Devices can be activated by the condition of selected system devices locally or

regionally without host intervention.

 

The OCM provides individually configurable parameters to be set for timing and for fail-safe vs. fail secure modes. Relay operation may be initiated by direct operator commands, by time schedules, or by event-based procedures. The relays support “On”, “Off”, “Pulse”, and “Repeating Pulse” commands.

 

A pulse may range from .1 second to over 18 hours. The OCM is an essential component to support Keri’s flexible, building block approach to access control system design. Providing flexibility and versatility, the OCM offers unmatched power to widen the range of devices and building controls that can be included in system design. Add building controls such as lighting or HVAC, with devices activated locally or regionally without host intervention.
