2.2 Automation Devices (Hardware)

Automation devices, also known as fardware, are responsible for executing the actions determined by the controller. These devices include barriers, turnstiles, door systems, and electronic locks that physically control access to different areas. Automation devices are crucial for implementing the decisions made by the controller, ensuring that only authorized individuals or vehicles can pass through.

 

2.2.1 Automatic Barrier Gate

 

 

Automatic Barrier Gates are commonly used in vehicle access control systems. These gates are equipped with a motorized arm that raises and lowers to allow or block vehicle entry. The gate receives commands from the controller, which determines whether to open or close the barrier based on the input data received from recognition devices like ANPR cameras or RFID readers. Automatic Barrier Gates are an effective way to manage traffic flow and secure entry points.

2.2.2 Pedestrian Turnstile

 

 

Pedestrian Turnstiles are designed to control foot traffic in areas such as building entrances, stadiums, and subway stations. These turnstiles allow one person to pass through at a time, ensuring that only authorized individuals can enter. Like barrier gates, turnstiles are connected to the controller, which sends signals to allow or deny access based on the input received from recognition devices.

2.2.3 Automatic Door Opening System

 

 

Automatic Door Opening Systems are used in various applications, from office buildings to hospitals, where hands-free access is required. These systems use sensors to detect the presence of a person and automatically open the door. The controller ensures that the door only opens when authorized personnel approach, providing both convenience and security.

2.2.4 Magnetic Lock

 

 

Magnetic locks, also known as maglocks, use an electromagnet to secure doors. When the door is closed, the electromagnet creates a strong bond that holds the door in place. The lock is released by the controller when access is granted, allowing the door to open. Maglocks are widely used in secure facilities where strong access control is required.
