Control unit for a proximity reader?

Sep 02, 2005 2 Replies

Hi!



Does anyone know where to get a simple control unit for a proximity reader?



I'm need to build a single door accesscontrol.



I have a simple proximity reader (for tags) that outputs in Wiegand format. I need to find a simple control unit to connect to this reader. A control unit that can work together with this reader and manage a few tag-ids and then output some kind of a signal when a valid tag has been read by the reader (ex. turn on a relay or a doorlock)



Does anyone know where to get such a controlunit?



I dont need a LCD display or anything else - just a unit to communicate with the reader and manage valids tags ids.



I really hope someone can help me?!



Thanks in advance!



Best regards Zenty



don't most readers output a RS-232/USB connection?

in which case a simple PC could be used..

Real Programmers Do things like this. http://webpages.charter.net/jamie_5

Hi,

You could use a Opto22 brain with a serial connection to the reader. The brain could then see if the code was valid and open the gate for you. See

They decode wiegand data as a standard.

Just my two cents,
