The Wiegand converter is used to convert data from one format to another, usually from Wiegand to RS232 or from Wiegand to RS485. It is most commonly used in access control systems to convert data from a Wiegand interface to a serial port for communication between the access control system and a host computer.
The main advantage of using the Wiegand converter is that it allows for easy communication between the two different systems. This eliminates the need for a complex wiring setup and can save time and money. Additionally, the Wiegand converter is very reliable and robust, making it a popular choice for access control systems.
The Wiegand converter works by taking a signal from a Wiegand card reader, decoding the data, and then converting it into a signal that is compatible with the serial port. The signal is then sent to the host computer where it can be read and processed. The signal is also sent back to the card reader, which then sends out a signal to the access control system. This allows for secure and efficient communication between the two systems.
The access control Wiegand converter is generally used in the access control system of property management, enterprises, institutions, communities, and other places to convert the Wiegand signal output by the access control system into a common digital signal to facilitate connection to various devices, such as access control Controllers, computers, face recognition devices, etc.
Specifically, the access control Wiegand converter mainly solves the following two problems:
1. The Wiegand signal format is not standard. Different access control systems may use different Wiegand signal formats, making it difficult to be compatible when connected to other devices. Access Control Wiegand Converter can convert Wiegand signals in different formats into standard digital signal output, so as to achieve compatibility between devices.
2. Wiegand signal distance limitation. Due to the limited Wiegand signal transmission distance, the access control system generally limits the distance between the access control machine and the controller. The access control Wiegand converter can convert the Wiegand signal into a digital signal, and then transmit it through common network lines and other media, so as to break through the distance limit and realize remote management and control of the access control system.
To sum up, the access control Wiegand converter is mainly used in the access control system to achieve compatibility and distance extension between the access control system and other devices.
