With the new available upgrades, existing Andover Continuum access control customers can be easily migrated to EcoStruxure Security Expert. By transitioning, they are migrating their existing access control systems to an IT-friendly, integrated access control solution.
Database Transition:
EcoStruxure Security Expert provides native connectivity to Andover Continuum access control
systems. The existing Andover Continuum system databases can be easily synchronized using the Security
Expert data synchronization service, SX-DB-SYNC, saving hours of extensive engineering time by avoiding the
need for staff to re-program their current systems. The Continuum Database Transition Tool retrieves data such as ACX controllers, doors and personnel from a Continuum database.
Transition a controller level:
Andover Continuum AC-1 and IO modules
The Andover Continuum AC-1 door and IO modules are natively supported in the Security Expert LON controller, SP-AC1. The SP-AC1 replaces the NC2 controllers in the transition solution, while maintaining full system level functionality over existing installed RS485/FTT-10 bus topologies.
Continuum AC-1 IO Modules supported:
• DI-6
• DI-8
• UI-8-10
• MI-6
• UI-8
• DO-4
• DO-6
System architecture – Continuum AC-1 transition to Security Expert
Andover Continuum ACX 57xx series controllers
The Andover Continuum ACX57xx series controllers can now be replaced with the SP-ACX PCB controller. The Security Expert SP-ACX PCB controller provides onboard IO density equal to the ACX5740 controller and supports the existing ACX57xx series xP expansion modules. The SP-ACX is designed to replace the existing ACX57xx series controller PCBA by maintaining the board, cover and wiring terminals of the existing controller.
Continuum ACX57xx series xP Modules supported:
• xUI4
• xPDO2
• xPDO4
• xPBD4
System architecture – Continuum ACX57xx transition to Security Expert
