The technology embedded in Axkef integrates our more than ten years know how in the industrial safety branch and permits us to market products with a proved hardware and software architecture.

Axkef is principaly an access control unit, designed to manage the entrance authorizations in the plants and factories, but can also be used as a RFid command (such as sorting on a conveyor). Many options are possible for this RFid based system, which can be customized with different readers, badges or chips.

• 256 badges per module
• memory capacity 512 events with date/time/ID
• 125kHz
• 1 billion and 73 million different coding possibilities.

The aim of the processing module is made of 3 main actions: read the datas, write a log and process a logical command. Its non volatile internal memory allows to retrieve up to each of the 500 lasts actions (date/time of event, the ID of badge exposed and action of the lock) of the module. It all can be donwloaded on a remote computer, thanks to the optionnal RS 232 or 422 plug (depending the lenght needed until the computer).

The main purposes of the access control are:

• control the entrance of people,
• identify the movements of people,
• modify the access authorizations, without reseting the global installation.

Typical applications are wide and apply to the industry sector mainly: facilities access management, secure rooms/storage units, implement a sorting on a production or sorting chain, etc...


Axkef works as a stand alone unit as it does not require any connection to a central database. Each processing unit is independant and the badges are created especially for it.
The datas embedded in a RFid chip are remotely readen, by a reader connected trough a securized line with the Axkef. Depending the authorization level, a logical command is given to an external device, thanks to 250VAC, such as a lock or a sorting conveyor.
The programmation of the badge is made by our production service following your order. Adding a badge can be simply done.
You can however also get the programmation tool to create yourself the badges, in the case where you would have big volumes to generate.


AXKEF can be customized with many options:

Processing module:

without PC cable with RS 232/422 output

Emitters

4 kinds of emitters are available: proximity card (credit card size), supplied blank or printed or writed on request (ref cb01),   proximity card (credit card size), with a clip hole for lace (cb02), industrial size, water proof ip67, double mounting brackets (cm01), or RFID chip to be integrated (ox7). The badge does not need power supply or battery. It contains a serial number, the facility ID, the device ID for which it has been produced, and its own ID. The badges use a RFID technology compatible with the mettalic dust environments. Their datas can be remotely readen until 20mm distance.

Reader

3 kinds of card reader are available: Public place model, wall mounted with buzzer, bicolor LED and easy mounting thanks to double side brackets (ref L1), industrial version, waterproof IP67 with double mounting brackets and moulded cable, bicolor LED and without buzzer (L2-2), industrial version, waterproof IP67, with solid quick-plug connector, specialy designed for the moving objects on an automatic production line (L2-1). One reader is connected to each module Axkef.

Opening/closing mode

There are 4 operation modes available to the order: mode 1: opening/closing with the same badge, mode 2: opening and locking after a preset time (0,4s, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s...) / closing with the same badge, mode 3: opening only with personal badge, closing with personal and manager badge (whatever the priority), mode 4: opening/closing with personal and manager badge.

Accessories

RS232 cable (3, 6 and 12m.) or RS422 from Axkef to the PC  programmation tool and software
