Double-badge configuration
To configure a reader for double-badge function, set the Number Of Badges field on the Readers
form to Double. All readers can be configured to require one or two transactions for granting access.
In addition, the Interval Time field on this form must be completed. The interval time specifies the
number of seconds allowed between stages of the transaction. (See Defining readers on page 175.)
The double-badge configuration can also be changed by scheduling. This is done by setting the
Number Of Badges field on the Reader Events form. (See Scheduling reader events on page 198.)
A change to the definition is reflected in a micro’s local database. The only micro affected by any
change to a reader’s Number-of-Badges definition is the one which is physically connected to the
reader.
A change in the micro’s local database does not affect any on-going reader activity. In other words,
changing a reader from double-transaction to single-transaction while the micro is processing the
reader’s activity does not affect that process; two complete valid transactions are still needed before
access may be granted. After the two transactions are processed, the micro grants or denies access
based on a single transaction.
A reader’s Number-of-Badges definition is not limited by the reader’s physical or logical type. For
example, it is possible to define a double-transaction, badge-and-keypad, anti-passback-in reader.
Reader status requests display the reader’s current Number-of-Badges definition.
Elevator control
Elevator Control allows you to control access to floors serviced by an elevator. This feature works
only with the Micro/5, M/PX-2000, and M/PXN-2000 micro controllers. It allows the micro to control
multiple elevator readers, DIs and DOs. This section shows how to implement the Elevator Control
feature using any one of the following methods:
• Elevator Micro/DO Configuration
• Elevator Reader/DO Configuration
• Elevator Reader/DI/DO Configuration
System configuration standards
• Elevator Control is a part of the base Picture Perfect software package.
• Elevator Control is implemented on Micro/5, M/PX-2000, or M/PXN-2000 configurations only.
• A maximum of 64 floors can be serviced by one elevator.
• 128 separate, user-configurable elevator categories are supported per elevator.
• The elevator buttons are enabled for a length of time (duration) defined on the Outputs form.
All the buttons (outputs) should be set to the same duration.
• Badges must be authorized for an elevator reader to gain access to an assigned floor.
• Picture Perfect can address up to 4096 micros with each micro having up to a maximum of 16
elevator readers. The recommended limit is based on memory and disk capacity of the
