The CIM is a communication control module designed to use a CAN Bus communication network. Keyscans CIM provides optimized server to access control unit (ACU) communication. The Communication Interlink Module creates a new inter-panel ACU to ACU communication network that provides global communication functions including anti-passback, global input/output and global time zones. The CIM includes an impressive host of new features including ground loop protection, enhanced diagnostics, improved speed and unprecedented reliability.

Features

• Provides optimized server to Access Control Unit (ACU) communication
• Gives users a new ACU to ACU network providing inter-panel communication for global functions
• Standardized Cabling establishes communication links with CAN Bus communication protocol using standard CAT5 cabling
• Ground Loop Tolerance maximizes electrical isolation to earth ground providing tolerance against ground loops
• Fault Tolerance ensures if one CIM fails it wont take the loop down with it. The CAN Bus protocol offers non-interrupted communication of remaining devices on the network
• Communication Speeds provides optimized communication speeds, up to 115K BPS
• Enhanced Diagnostics for quick and easy troubleshooting
• Auto Bit Rate Conguration to automatically match bit rate speed with control unit conguration
• Supports Keyscans plug-on TCP/IP network adapter NETCOM2P/6P
• Uses a simplied ribbon cable connection to control unit for fast installation
• Access Control Units with direct connectivity with the CAN Bus network now provide ACU to ACU to communication without server dependence. This permits a host of new features and capabilities
