- The single door node, in effect, is a stand alone access control system.
- The door controller makes all the decisions for that door.
- Below is a block diagram of the door controller, which explains the operation of each element:

Block structure of a Smart door controller.

Input & Output |
This provides the interface between external devices such as, card readers, exit buttons, door contacts & the locking device. |
Communications |
The communications allows many smart door nodes to communicate on a single cable back to a PC. |
Power Supply |
The PSU section provides all power for the electronics and one average D.C locking device. |
Memory, Clock & Calendar |
The memory stores all details such as time, date, cards and set-up information specific to that door. Also stored in memory are the last 457 transactions (events) that have occurred. |

- It is important to understand the normal operation of a single door node. The logical operation is as follows:
- A card or token is presented to one of the card readers, its electronic ID is sent to the door controller.
- It is then compared against the door controller's memory for a match.
- If there is a match the ID is then tested for validity of time & day against the clock/calendar.
- Finally the door controller unlocks the door if both of the above results are true. The doors magnetic contact monitors the status of the door and posts a message to memory if it is held open after a programmable period. Finally the card number of the card just used is also stored in memory along with the current time & date.
- This data is stored in the controller until the PC polls the door controller or 457 events occur, in which case it will be overwritten.
- An event transaction is generated for any event that occurs :
- 71 Access granted
- 72 Access denied
- 73 Egress
- 74 Door forced (opened without card)
- 75 Door held (open too long)
- 76 Door closed (after alarm 74 or 75)
- 77 Host opened door
- 78 Host closed door
- 79 Host granted access
- 80 Intruder alarm set
- 81 Intruder alarm unset
- 82 Access denied Invalid Time Zone
- 83 Access denied Card Suspended
- 84 Access granted Holiday
- 85 Access granted Alarm Zone set
- 86 Access denied Alarm Zone set
- 87 User Log In
- 88 User Log Out
- 89 User Access Denied
- 90 Cold reset / watchdog
