 Product Description

1 Product Description
The Advanced Central Controller (ACC) is a high performance access control and
security field panel. The ACC is installed as the main hardware component of a
Siemens integrated access control and security solution.
The ACC is capable of hosting multiple access control and security applications
from a single panel, including access management for up to 96 doors (only with
firmware version 2.30.xx or higher).
The ACC processes all events locally, independent of the host system. This
ensures system integrity even in the unlikely event of communications failure. It
also allows for quicker transaction time, since the controller does not have to wait
for an access decision from the host system.

2 Work Safety Information

(step 1).
2. From the Windows Command Prompt dialog (Select Start > Run > cmd)
download the firmware to the ACC using the following command from the
firmware directory:
D:\firmware>tftp –i xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx put [filename] image
where: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the ACC’s IP address
[filename] = the filename of the firmware

Once download is complete, boot the ACC using the boot command in the
HyperTerminal window. Once the initial version of firmware has been downloaded,
new versions can be updated using SiPass integrated.

6.2 Programming Commands

NOTE
The programming commands may differ depending on the bootloader/application version used.

The following table outlines the main commands used to configure the ACC using
the HyperTerminal software.

Command Description
set ? or Displays all the commands that are available for configuration.
s?
set accname x Allows the name of the ACC to be configured, for example “Main Foyer”.
Double quotes have to be used to set the Name, when the new ACC name
contains spaces.
set hostip x Allows the IP address of the PC with the host software installed to be
configured.
set baudrate x Allows the baud rate of the RS-232 communications between the ACC and
the PC hosting the HyperTerminal software to be changed.
set defaults Allows the standard ACC defaults to be applied. The defaults are:
ACC Name: ACC
IP Address: 192.168.1.250
IP Port: 4343
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0 (disabled)

set port x Allows the IP communications port to be configured (1 to 65,000).
set subnet* x Allows the IP address of the subnet to be configured.
get status Displays the settings configured for the ACC.

Note
An “x” in the above table represents the data to be entered, for example an IP
address or a name.
A * next to the command means that the ACC needs to be reset in order for the
changes to take effect.
The following displays a typical entry of a command into the HyperTerminal
window:
set accname “Main Foyer”
Where “Main Foyer” is the name of the ACC being configured.

NOTE
In some instances, the HyperTerminal software may not be communicating with the ACC. This is
represented by a triple prompt “>>>”. Simply press the “B” key on your keyboard once to re-activate
communications with the ACC.

Connections and LEDs

7.2 Connections
1. Connect an Ethernet cable (from the same network as the host system) to the
10/100 port on the ACC.
2. Connect the local devices to each of the 6 FLN ports on the ACC. See
Section 7.2.1: FLN Device Load Calculation. Up to 16 devices can be
connected to each FLN port, for a total of 96 devices per ACC.

NOTE
z Ensure that the polarity of each connection is correct.
z Ensure that the cable shield for each FLN channel is continuous and grounded at one end only. It is
recommended to ground the end closest to the ACC.

3. Connect the integrated service (if required) to the ISa and/or ISb ports on the
ACC. Depending upon the application to which the ACC is connected this
may be an RS-485, RS-422, or RS-232 connection.
4. Connect an alarm device (if required) to the ALARM OUT port on the ACC.
5. Connect a tamper switch (if required) to the TAMPER port on the ACC.
6. Connect the active and neutral wires from a Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the
24 V DC port on the ACC. Ensure that the polarity of this connection is made
correctly.
7. Ensure that the ACC is correctly grounded, by connecting the ground terminal
on the ACC's 24 V DC port to the building earth ground.
8. Check all connections thoroughly.

7.2.1 FLN Device Load Calculation

Each Device produces a certain load on the FLN.

The following table outlines the equivalent load value for each FLN device.

Device Configuration Units

ADS5200 (SRI) 1 load
ADD5100 (DRI) 2 loads
AFI5100 (IPM) 4 loads
AFO5100 (OPM) 4 loads (2 when used in one lift control)
ADE5300 (ERI) 8 loads
AFO5200 (8IO) 2 loads

The following table outlines the maximum value of configuration loads that can be
connected to each FLN.

FLN Channel Maximum Configuration Unit Value

FLN #1 16 loads
FLN #2 16 loads
∗ 16 loads
FLN #3a/3b
FLN #4 16 loads
BLN 16 loads
ISA/ISB 16 loads

Example of a Load calculation: ADE5300 + AFI5100 + 2 x ADD5100 = 16 loads

∗
FLN channels 3A & 3B are multiplexed ports. These two connections are combined and carry the same signal but provide
allowance for longer wiring runs.
