General Description 

The MAGi-3 Card access controllers are our next Generation of access controllers. It is built with the latest of technology from Texas Instruments, the MSP430 series of micro-controllers. It is built to meet the ever increasing demand for a cost effective, reliable and feature packed card access controller. Microprocessor based applications, in almost every field, has become packed with user-friendly features. Security is of no exception. This puts greater demand on the speed and reliability of communications and on larger and faster memories.

The MSP430 processor was chosen with these in our minds. The features of the processor permits us to reduce component count and therefore increase reliability. SMT (Surface Mount Technology) is used for circuit board layout to reduce RF emission. Processor speed has been doubled from conventional processors to 8 MHz clock (4MHz Bus speed).

Furthermore, the MAGi-3 supports communications speeds up to 4800 baud that is double from the 2400 baud on most card access control of its class.  Reliability is achieved via the use of industry standard RS422 for communications which has a high noise immunity characteristic.

What is more, the MAGi-3 can be networked with the other MAG series family and be driven from the MicroPlus software. A budget MicroPlus Lite is available just for systems with a maximum of 16 MAGi-3 installed.

Reader Attachments

The MAGi-3 will use any readers with a Wiegand interface of 16 to 42 bits. However, because of the varied number of protocols that can exist on those readers, please submit your enquires via your dealers to us to confirm if the devices with these attachments can be used.


Integration and System

The MAGi-3 can be integrated together to form a system that extends to cover the entire installation. The software package that does this is the IES MicroPlus software. At the entry level, MicroPlus Lite allows for either a 16 controller budget system consisting of only MAGi-3. Other versions of MicroPlus allow the MAGi-3 to be mixed with other MAG series equipment to form a 64 controller system depending on the type of communications hardware that is used. MicroPlus versions that allow controller configurations of 64,000 controllers are available on request only.

This means that expansion from 16 to 64 does not require any messy software upgrade or change. At the mid-end, 512 MAG-X controllers can be networked together. At the very maximum, 64000 MAG-X controllers can be networked together.

The network utilizes industry standards like RS422 and LAN (802.3), TCP/IP communications protocol. By using the LAN/WAN technology, geographical barriers does exist. Access controllers can be located half-way round the world and yet be online without problems.


Extended Systems

In the extended systems configuration, the MAGi-3 can work together with other families of equipment. For example, the Digital Field Panels from IES are alarm monitoring devices and can be networked together with the MAGi-3, on the same bus if necessary. Together with the powerful MicroPlus software, a sophisticated system which serves the full security solution of most installations, can be constructed. This includes a seamlessly integrated system to print and produce badges with the MicroPlus Badgemaker Software.
