Suprema introduces DM-20

October 2015 Access Control & Identity Management, Products & Solutions

Suprema announced the release of DM-20, a secure door control module designed to provide secure connection to multiple peripherals from Suprema devices.

DM-20 provides BioStar 2 with versatility and expandability for system designers to design and deploy centralised access control systems. The module combined with any Suprema access control terminal can function as a secure central controller. It allows for the simple and easy upgrade to a smart access control system and utilises existing RS-485 or Wiegand networks without the need of establishing a new IP-based network. Additional DM-20 units can be connected via a daisy chain configuration to support up to 32 doors in combination with Wiegand readers or Suprema devices.

Each module features an RS-485 connection, two Wiegand in/out ports and up to four relay ports for a wide array of installation applications. The two Wiegand ports can be used to connect third-party readers that can be set up as doors within BioStar 2. The module supports four TTL inputs and an additional four supervised inputs that detect the voltage flow on the circuit and allow the system to monitor input devices.

“DM-20 delivers ultimate flexibility to system designers and installers,” said Young S Moon, VP of Suprema. “Its functions expand the ability of Suprema terminals to accommodate mid to enterprise level access control needs, and enhance security by replacing the conventional systems with biometrics or smart reader controllers.”

DM-20 is a BioStar 2 exclusive accessory and will support all BioStar 2 compatible devices and accessories.
