High-Quality PCBs: A Critical Foundation
High-quality printed circuit boards (PCB) provide a critical foundation for electronics, smart systems, and secure interfaces. As the demand for smarter buildings, higher security, and access control systems continues to grow across the residential, commercial, and industrial markets, having high-quality PCBs to accompany the software, functions, and environmental elements of advanced systems is becoming increasingly important.
PCB for Access Control System
Overview of Access Control Systems
Access control systems are sophisticated security systems that authorize access to protected areas by identifying authenticated persons and devices. These systems can handle functions such as communication, access hierarchy, record keeping, information sharing, and identification through authentication through mechanisms ranging from RFID to biometric scanning. All of these functions rely on high-performance hardware and circuits to handle complex commands and high traffic.
Popular Access Control Systems
Some of the most popular access control systems are:
- Biometrics
- (Note: “close” seems out of context here and may be a placeholder or typo)
- Door
- Safe
These systems require PCBs for different control points, including exterior entryways, interior doors, and centralized access control devices where operators can set them up. PCBs are integrated with security systems for better control and monitoring of protected buildings. Access control systems are popular in residential, commercial environments, and industrial and government facilities. Common applications include:
- Access to hospitals and banks via smart cards and ID cards
- Office access via mobile credentials
- Monitoring the entry and exit of industrial facilities
- Controlling the level of access to airports
Key Components of Access Control Systems
The quality of an access control system depends on the quality of its working parts. The four key components of any secure access control system include:
- Controller: This central device stores information about authentication, commands, etc..
- Lock: A lock is an electromechanical component that can be opened on command of a controller.
- Readers: These sensors can read tags and other inputs within their sensor range.
- Balises: Tags range from single-function ID badges to small electronic chips in cards or mobile phones.
