Key Features

Ultimate authentication performance
Supports up to 800,000 (1:1) & 400,000 (1:N) RFID card, 400,000 (1:N) BLE / NFC / Dynamic QR Code mobile credential, 100,000 (1:1) & 50,000 (1:N) fingerprint, 100,000 (1:1) & 50,000 (1:N) facial, 5,000 (1:1) & 3,000 (1:N) palm  authentication in one single controller.
Supports up to million-grade (1:1) authentication capacity with online backend authentication server.
Scalable
Supports up to 129 access points, with 32 AHDU-1460 door units and 258 readers with various authentication options including biometrics, RFID card and mobile credential authentication (Bluetooth / NFC /Dynamic QR Code). With  advanced communication protocols, the AHDU-1000 supports up to 792 AHEB series IO expansion boards and 33 AHDU door units, ultimately supporting up to 12,801 inputs or outputs.
Innovative MQTT based communication protocol
MQTT is a lightweight communication protocol generally used by IoT devices. Its features make it an optimal solution for intelligent security systems, which enable the controller to communicate with more edge devices (Door Unit, reader, sensor, etc.) under the same network environment.
Threat Levels
Unlimited threat levels are used to adjust user access during lockdowns and lockouts instantaneously.
Advanced Communication
The serverless design enables the controller to operate independently. Peer- to-peer cross-controller linkage communication among controllers can be active while the Armatura-One server is unavailable. All preset linkages and global linkages can operate as usual.
Dual System Rom Protection Design
To offer the best operation stability, durability, and safety and tackle different kinds of situations, such as an improper upgrade, cyber attack, and malware infections that completely render the ROM to inoperable status. Armatura’s  controllers are built with a dual ROM design, one of the ROMs acts as a primary ROM for the system startup, and the second layer ROM acts as a “Recover” ROM. When the primary ROM happens to fail or malfunction, the second layer ROM will automatically take over on your next controller board startup.
Supervised Inputs
The AHSC-1000 controller is equipped with four state-monitoring inputs, which gradually avoids short circuit attacks. The AHSC-1000 controller can detect abnormal changes below 5% Ohms in the circuit and filter out all possible attacks.
REX inputs and dedicated fire alarm inputs on the board are independently managed by isolated microchips to ensure these inputs can operate normally under various extreme and catastrophic situations, even if the motherboard does  not function properly.
PoE
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) 802.3at/ 9-24VDC from power sourcing equipment (PSE) according to IEEE PoE 802.3at standards.
3rd Party Integration
Supports BMS common communication protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, and OPC to integrate building management systems. Supports a range of reader protocols, including Armatura Explorer series reader, 3rd party biometric  reader, 3rd party Wiegand / OSDP readers, and Assa Abloy Aperio™ Wireless Lock. Supports Kone, Schindler, Mitsubishi & Hitachi elevator DCS & DOP integration through Armatura -One Security Platform & provides RESTful based API for 3rd Party integration.
Cyber Security
OSDP V2.2 communication over RS-485 with Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) 128-bit encryption between readers and I/O expansion boards to AHSC-1000 Security Core.
AES256 / TLS 1.2 communication between Armatura-One server and edge devices through TCP/IP.
Communication between the Armatura-One server and web-client is protected by HTTPS / TLS1.2 (AES256) or above.
An additional crypto chip (Certified EAL6+ standard) provides an enhanced cybersecurity level, providing dedicated storage and cryptographic functionality for the AHSC-1000 controller.
Supports IP/Mac address filtering functions and VLAN isolation to enhance cybersecurity standards.
Port Failover (TCP/IP coming soon) & Redundancy
The AHSC-1000 controller has dual Ethernet ports. If the primary communication circuit fails, the controller can automatically fail over to the secondary port (the controller has separate network address configurations set for both ports). 100 Base-TX Ethernet data transfer is included on the AHSC-1000 controller, allowing users to take full advantage of this high-speed network technology. Two out of three onboard RS-485 ports are dedicated and configurable for redundancy failover. The door units / IO expansion boards / readers connected with RS-485 can failover to the secondary port if the current port is disconnected.
Intelligent Power Monitoring
The AHSC-1000 supports flexible voltage inputs (9V-24V with automatic voltage detection) with multiple power supply options including PSU, board-only and Power Over Ethernet (PoE IEEE 802.3at).
The AHSC-1000 onboard intelligent power monitoring system can precisely monitor onboard battery power supply, onboard battery health, PoE power supply status & PSU power supply status. It also displays real-time power status on the webserver dashboard, ensuring administrators have clear indicators for troubleshooting.
