FAQ

• Q: How many controllers can be connected per channel?
  A: It is recommended to connect a maximum of 8 controllers per channel for optimal connectivity. The AR-727-CM and AR-727-CM-IO-0804M models contain two RS485 channels, allowing a total of 16 controllers to be connected.

• Q: How do I switch between Gateway Mode and PLC Mode?
  A: The factory default mode is Gateway Mode. To switch to PLC Mode, you need to manually update the firmware. Refer to the instructional manuals or videos provided for detailed instructions.

• Q: What is the default communication mode for CH1 and CH2?
  A: The default communication mode for CH1 and CH2 is Gateway Mode. However, CH2 also supports PLC Mode.

• Q: Does the product support Ethernet to Wiegand conversion?
  A: Yes, the AR-727-CM-IO-0804M and AR-727-CM-IO-0804R models support the Ethernet-to-Wiegand conversion feature. Refer to the wiring diagram and instructional manuals for more details.
