Embedded intelligence

Embedded Intelligence simplifies installation, maintenance and upgrade

The Hi-O Concept’s foundation is an information data bus, connecting all the door devices to each other instead of a central door controller. The intelligence is built into each and every device instead of centralized in one dedicated logic unit.

Hi-O is a Plug-and-Play system, meaning that a Hi-O device will work with its basic configuration as soon as it gets connected – just as when a USB-memory stick is plugged into a computer. The communication between the devices is encrypted in order to prevent intrusion.

The advantages with a Hi-O system are many. To the installer Hi-O means less wires to keep track of. Every unit (electric strike, proximity reader door automatics etc) is connected with a 4-wire cable. The same 4-wire connection for each and every device!

Maintenance is supported by the built in diagnostics in the devices. A faulty device will alert the network that it is malfunctioning. Fault tracing will be minimized and the change to a proper device can be neatly handled thanks to standardized wiring and Plug-and-Play technology.

Expansion of the Hi-O Door System is of course simplified as the only thing required is to connect a new cable and then every device will automatically identify itself on the network.
