The setting “operator must follow interlock rules” is off by default. If unchecked, an iProtect operator or API user can control doors in this group without interlock limitations. |
Step 2: Add Readers to the Group
...
Add an output on Line 1 that activates triggers whenever a door in within Line 1’s interlock group opens.
Set the output source as to Interlock Reader Group and link ensure it is linked to the correct appropriate reader group.
Create a new input on Line 2. Connect this output to
...
the input on Line 2
...
, allowing it to detect when any door in Line 1 is open.
7.1.2 Create a Virtual Reader on Line 2
Go Navigate to Installation | Hardware | Line and find locate the door controller for Line 2.
Create Set up a virtual reader on this door controller using by utilizing an available reader port.
Assign the input from Line created in step 7.1.1 as the door contact for this virtual reader.
7.1.3 Repeat Configuration on Line 2 for Two-Way Control
Create an output on Line 2 that activates when a any door in within Line 2’s interlock group opens .
Connect this output to an input on Line 1.
Create (See section 7.1.1).
Create a new input on Line 1 and connect this output to it, enabling detection of when any door in Line 2 is open.
Set up a virtual reader on Line 1 and set its assign this input as a door contact to the input from Line 2for the virtual reader.
7.1.4 Create Separate Interlock Reader Groups on Each Line
On Line 1, make Create a reader group, activate the Interlock Function, and include both all interlock readers from Line 1 readers and including the virtual reader for Line 2.On Line 2, do the same, including Line 2 readers and the virtual reader for Line 1. (see chapter 3. Steps to Create a Reader Group with interlock Function)
Create an second reader group on the same way for Line 2.
7.2 How It Works
When a door in Line 1’s interlock group opens:
Line 1’s output activates, triggering the input on Line 2.
This tells the virtual reader on Line 2 that a one of Line 1 door interlock doors is open, blocking access to Line 2 interlock doors.
When a door in Line 2’s interlock group opens:
Line 2’s output activates, triggering the input on Line 1.
This tells the virtual reader on Line 1 that a one of Line 2 door interlock doors is open, blocking access to Line 1 interlock doors.
7.3 Testing the Multi-Line Interlock
To confirm that the multi-line interlock works:
Open a interlock door on Line 1 and confirm the Line 2 virtual reader is triggered.
Open a interlock door on Line 2 and confirm the Line 1 virtual reader is triggered.
Try accessing other doors on each line while a door on the other line is open to confirm proper restrictions.
With this setup, the interlock function will restrict access across lines as expected, no matter which line has an open door.
