The
embedded computer for the turnstile system also serves
as the central controller and management computer.
When visitors pass through the turnstile, the embedded
computer receives signals from a sensor and magnetic
card reader immediately, and then causes the gate
to open and display a message on the turnstile panel.
Moxa's V481 embedded computer is ideal for this type
of application since it features a VGA display and
2 LAN ports for network redundancy. In addition, the
multiple serial ports connect the gateway's sensor,
magnetic card reader, and panel. A real-time control
and management system is a must for this type of application. |
