Access control and Time & attendance management system
General description
The bibinet system is designed for access control and time & attendance management in small, medium and big companies. The minimal system configuration is one controller performing the access control or time and attendance control, connected to a single computer. Thanks to the ability of connecting the devices to many computers and using the internet, the possibilities of the bibi.net system are unlimited.
As identifiers the system uses transponders such as plastic cards or key fobs. To identify oneself using the transponder a user must bring it a proximity reader. This makes the system reliable, durable and easy to use.
The bibi.net system is based on the communication of two networks:
- PC network (to be precise - the part of the network in which bibi programmes have been installed)
- the network of bibi devices used for access control and time & attendance management
These two networks are connected to each other in bibi.net nodes (computers with bibinet server software).
Basic parameters of the bibi system:
- uses up to 10.000 proximity identifiers
- a buffer capable of remembering 32.000 events in each controller
- the ability to connect devices to multiple computers
- hundreds of controlled passages
- work modes: off-line or on-line
- power supply: 12V DC (11..15 V DC)
- the ability to control external devices (locks, electromagnets, turnstiles, etc.) via relay outputs
- signalling alarm states via transistor outputs
- working on multiple computers (network programme), also via the internet
bibi.net system devices
The backbone of the bibi system is the Mm-I485 isolated RS232 - RS485 interface which allows connecting up to 100 controllers on a RS485 bus to one computer serial port.
The main controlling device is the bibi-K12 controller equipped with 2 relay outputs, 2 transistor outputs, 2 open door sensor inputs, 2 exit button inputs, 4 RS232 reader inputs (bibi) or 2 other manufacturers' reader inputs, such as Wiegand, Track 2 or Data/Clock (i.e. ASEC, HID, Kantech, MR Access, Novar, etc.) Additionally it is equipped with an internal RS485 bus which can be used to control LED displays (such as clocks displaying the controllers time). It also has a memory of 10.000 cards and their permissions and a buffer for 32.000 events.
Identification systems - readers, transponders
Normally the bibi system uses Unique proximity cards. These cards are supported by two kinds of bibi2 readers:
- bibi-R32 - a small reader resistant to atmospheric conditions
- bibi-R21 - a reader equipped with a display, used mainly for time and attendance management
All bibi2 readers are equipped with the RS232 interface. Four such readers can be connected to the controller.
The bibi system allows using other identification cards (proximity or magnetic) and respective readers. At the moment, except RS232 interface readers, it is possible to use readers with interfaces such as Wiegand, Track 2 or Data/Clock. If one of these interfaces is used, it is possible to connect only 2 such readers. This allows working with readers from other manufacturers and other identification systems except Unique, such as: Mifare, Legic, HID and others. Readers from respective systems have been described in the "yellow" part of this website.
Readers cooperate with transponders (identifiers) from their respective systems such as plastic cards, key fobs, arm-bands, etc.
Identifiers are added to the system (assigned to specific persons) using any reader in the system, or using a special system administrator's reader (i.e. Mm-R32/PC) which is connected to the administrator's computer.
It is possible to print on plastic cards using special printers. Our company provides services of personalising and printing cards.
The second generation of the bibi system is simpler to build (one controller), compilant with the PN-EN 50133-1 standard (access control) and rules set by the European Union (CE standard).
