Nexus 8-Door Access Controller

Our customers asked us to develop an access control system which would be able to meet the varied and complex demands of large installation system specifications, yet could also be easily applied to a smaller 2-8 door system without any loss of performance.

Dual reader input modules
Expansion capability to take Nexus from 2 to a maximum of 8 readers
Readily accepts all common reader types
Fully configurable on board I/O with expansion options
Optional Communications: Echelon, RS232, RS485 and LAN Networkable.
Nexus Processor Module
- The heart of control...
Nexus systems are controlled and connected using the ubiquitous Nexus processor control board, which is flexible and powerful enough to provide up to eight on board reader controls and up to 8 input/output relay control. The processor board contains on board power circuitry and interfaces with other control systems via a range of optional communications modules (see below).
Nexus Reader Module
Nexus is a modular controller, the essence of which is an incredibly flexible 2 door reader module, which may be supplied with the controller or as an addition to an existing system, enabling users and installers to purchase only the reader modules required for the installation, safe in the knowledge that expansion is an easy, cost effective and simple process, saving both time and cost.
User database with capacity of 23,000 users, expandable to 65,000 users
Up to 4 dual reader modules per controller
128 Nexus controllers with RS485
256 Nexus controllers with Echelon Lonworks transceivers
31 Day types
31 Week types
2 Anti-pass back levels (On-line). Three APB types IN, OUT and NU (Off-line)
Supports simultaneous multi-technology access
Supports up to 8 card readers and 8 keypads which can be any combination of Watermark, Wiegand, Softmagnetics, etc.
Nexus systems can be expanded using additional reader modules (max. four)
System watchdog to monitor microprocessor operation
Optional 4 or 8 non-dedicated relays per dual reader module
Optional 4 or 8 non-dedicated clean contact inputs per dual reader module
Communications; Echelon, RS232, RS485 or current loop (all optional)
We were also asked to use our extensive knowledge to uncover ways of reducing installation and commissioning costs and improving operating efficiency. In response to this challenge, Morley design engineers developed the Nexus range of online controllers which achieves all of the above and a great deal more.
The all-new Nexus modular electronic access controller establishes Morley as the market leaders in innovative product development and brings the most powerful and flexible access controller to the installers and users. The Nexus is incredibly easy to install and offers a level of flexibility not found in other door controllers.
