The MAG i-6 is a full-featured card access controller in the i-series. It features the use of fast static RAM (Random Access Memory) and a high-end microprocessor, the HC12, from Motorola. This makes searching a 6000 card database easy giving a sub-second respond even if the card was the last in the list.

The controller is fully configurable from software making programming the controller an easy task. With its RS422 bus, and its Industrial Grade Error Checking algorithm, the MAG i-6 is highly reliable in its transfer of data making data loss during transmission almost impossible.

The controller’s wiegand characteristics is configurable making integration to most card readers and biometric readers a simple task. Nonetheless, wiegand devices are not the only devices the MAG I-6 controller can use. It has a RS232/RS422 port for reader devices that communicate that way.

This controller is particularly suited for use in a demanding security environment. It has a comprehensive time-zone mechanism that includes a separate time zone for holidays, and it has 366 definable holidays. This mechanism governs when someone can have access, when Personal Identification Numbers are required for access and even when its alarm monitoring inputs are armed or disarmed.

The MAG i-6 features four of this inputs that can double up as inputs to other functions depending on how the controller is configured. For example, one of these alarm inputs can be configured as a fire-alarm input. It can be connected directly to a relay under the control of a fire-panel and will release the door when it is activated. Yet, operating in a different configuration, the same alarm-input can be configured to monitor the fire-panel’s relay, report the activation to the computer and allow the computer to decide whether or not to release the door.

The MAG I-6 features a Two-Door mode that allows the single controller to control two doors. In this mode, both the readers function as entry readers and a push button is used for the exit. Apart from the Two-Door mode, the controller can be configured in Car Park Control mode.  In this mode, the relays are redefined for use as the entry barrier and exit barrier gate control relays. The alarm points are redefined for use as the Arming Loop input.

The MAG i-6 databases and setup can be up loaded as well as down loaded. This means that with a software like the Microplus Lite, one can completely control the MAG i-6 device, configuring it to behave in some intended way. At the same time, the software can use whatever information already programmed in the MAG i-6 to recover itself in the event of a hard drive crash.

Even when it comes to communications, the MAG I-6 can use different communications method and media. It is shipped standard with a IEC 422/485 communications channel. However, it can also have a direct IEEE 802.3 (LAN) connection or even a fiber optics connection.

There are much more that MAG i-6 can do and for this reason it is used only in the most demanding security applications.
