The ZiP M7101A door access controller is now available. One of the issues surrounding traditional intelligent door access techniques is their inability to be applied cost-effectively to the smallest sites. High street retailers, telecoms base stations, banks and building societies need identical facilities to their larger-scale counterparts, but cannot cannot justify the cost of individual intelligent systems for security, access, air conditioning or fire detection. The M7101A is the first in a series of ZiP modules with an inbuilt network card (NC) to allow each module to be attached individually to the ZiP network. The M71xx series do not support the "PowerZiP" connector to allow ZiP modules to be directly connected together.

The M7101A is extremely simple to install. It is compatible with any of the readily available Wiegand™ types of door readers from suppliers such as HID™. Each M7101A can handle a single door, or a pair of doors operating in parallel.

The M7101A relies on a proven RS485 network for communications between door controllers and a ZiP Master, the controller for the door access system. Compass, one version of the ZiP Master, sits on an RS485-based integration network which is compatible with over 200 different building-control systems, including CCTV, bms, security, lighting and many international standards. Another version of the ZiP Master, Commander, serves information directly onto IP as HTML web pages and can send alarm messages via e-mail.
