Questions : How to setup the door number of controller and reader in different configurations?
Content :
1. Introduction
2. Configuration
2-1 Directly connect controller to PC
2-2 H/E series controller connect to multi-door control panel
1. Introduction:
The configuration of SOYAL H/E series controllers and PC is adjustable to different customers, when the customer has the requirement of displaying door names in 701ClientSQL, then it is required to setup the door number of each device, independent of the Node ID.
The setting of Node ID is for 701ServerSQL to connect the controller, the setting of door number is to display specific door name in 701ClientSQL.
2. Configuration
2-1 Controller directly connect to PC
While the configuration is directly connect controllers to PC, please refer to following structure:
(1) In basic configuration, it is recommended to set door number related to Node ID for management, the door number setting of reader is required to set on main controller’s parameter setting, not on itself.
(2) The connection will be failed while the Node ID are duplicated.
(3) The door name will be disordered in 701ClientSQL while the door names are duplicated.
(4) Enable “Show Detail Node Address” function in 701ClientSQL when door name indication is required.
(5) H Series controller will just show message from weigand, only E Series controller could assign the door name.
H Series controller:
E Series controller:
Step1. 701ServerSQL > Line, confirm controller is online
Step2. Modify Node ID / door number of controller & door number of reader
H Series controller:
(1) Modify via command
Ex1. AR-721H: Enter program mode > 00*NNN*VVV*DDD#
(NNN-controller node id,VVV-AR716-E16 node id(input 000),DDD-controller door number)
(2) Modify via 701ServerSQL
1. Select area and Node ID, press “Read from Controller”
2. Door Nr. is the main controller’s door number, Door Nr.[WG] is the weigand reader’s door name
3. Press “Write to Controller” after the modification
*H series couldn’t modify the door number of reader, it only support displaying message from WG in 701Client, comparison refer to (5) of configuration.
E Series controller:
(1) Modify via command
Ex2. AR-837E: Enter program mode > 3.Parameters(1) > 1.Node ID > Input Node ID > Input main door number > Input WG door number
(2) Modify via 701ServerSQL
1. Select area and Node ID, press “Read from Controller”
2. Door Nr. is the main controller’s door number, Door Nr.[WG] is the weigand reader’s door name
3. Press “Write to Controller” after the modification
4. The door name will be updated after reopening 701ClientSQL
*The function of read parameters of H series controller via 701ServerSQL is supported after version10.
*In the configuration that has lots of E series controller and reader, the door name of reader will be messed up when you forgot to modify each main controller’s weigand door number.
Step3. Edit the door name, select “Add Door” and choose the area, door number and finally define the name
Step4. The door name will be updated after reopening 701ClientSQL
2-2 H/E series controller connect to multi-door control panel
H/E Series Controller is required to setup Node ID and Door Number, and Multi-door Control Panel is required to setup Node ID to connect with 701ServerSQL either. The Controller Node ID and Door Number example is assigned as below:
STEP 1. Setup the Node ID and Door Number of Controller
Method 1. Connect the Controller to 701ServerSQL to modifying the parameters directly.
(1) Confirm the connection
(2) Select the Area and Node ID
(3) Select “Read from Controller”
(4) Modify the Node ID and Door Number
(5) Select “Write to Controller”
Method 2. Modify via command, taking AR-721H and AR-837E for instance, other controllers please refer to own manual.
(1) AR-721H - 00*NNN*VVV*DDD# (NNN-Node ID,VVV-AR716-E16 Node ID,DDD-Door Name)
(2) AR-837E – enter program mode > 3.Parameters(1) > 1. Node ID > input Node ID > input Door Number
STEP 2. Select E Series Controller Parameter setting
STEP 3. Input AR-716-E16 Node ID
STEP 4. Select [Read from Controller]
STEP 5. Select [716E16-Ev5]
STEP 6. Modify the Controller Door Number under AR-716-E16
*CH1(03) means the controller with Node ID 3 under CH1, CH2(09) means the controller with Node ID 9 under CH2.
(1) Tick up the connected Controller Node ID
WG0: Node ID fixed to 17 while connected and fixed to trigger the K1 Relay
WG1: Node ID fixed to 18 while connected and fixed to trigger the K2 Relay
CH1: RS-485 Reader Node ID must be set up from 01 to 08 or 03 to 08
CH2: RS-485 Reader Node ID must be set up as 09 to 16
(2) Input the Door Number
(Controllers connect with AR-716-E16 are required to setup Door Name in this interface.)
The door number of second multi-door control panel:
(3) Press OK
(4) Select “Write to Controller”
(5) Make the confirmation of connection status
