SiPass integrated is a powerful and almost infinitely flexible access control system that provides a very high level of security without compromising convenience and ease of use for system users. It is designed to meet access control needs that range in complexity from medium to very high.  

SiPass integrated can be used to manage access to anything from a single low-rise office or residential building with just a few doors to massive high-rise complexes with tens of thousands of doors, gates, barriers and elevators at multiple sites around the globe. It also fully supports the integration of video surveillance, intrusion detection and fire alarm systems – either Siemens’ own or third-party – thereby creating a total security solution.     

For applications that require full availability, it is possible to load the SiPass integrated software onto a Marathon everRun FT server. The result is an access control system that is completely immune to server failures.    

The SiPass integrated software is the heart of any SiPass integrated system. The total number of controllers that can be connected is virtually unlimited. The Windows-certified software has a powerful client/server architecture‚ and it is easy to install and administer via its graphical user interface.

Features such as advanced audit-trail logging‚ advanced alarm management‚ anti-passback functionality (including global and workgroup anti-passback)‚ door interlocking‚ escort control mode‚ video surveillance and DVR interfaces - as well as Siemens’ exclusive custom Wiegand functionality and advanced device firmware download - are all standard in SiPass integrated. A wide variety of other advanced features are also available as add-on options. SiPass integrated also offers the possibility to set up customized interfaces to other applications in order to ensure smooth communication at all times. The software also supports CITRIX and Windows Terminal Services for remote operation‚ where required.

Note: The ASL5000 is a software license only. The SiPass integrated software DVD needs to be ordered separately - see ASB5000-xx.

To order the SiPass integrated software license or any of the SiPass integrated core software‚ you must first complete a software license order form. Please contact your SiPass integrated supplier for further information.

The ASE5100-BA is a 1‚000 card database extension from the initial 1‚000 cards that are included in the standard license.

ASE5100-OC makes it possible to add offline components (doors) to a SiPass integrated system. Please note that the SiPass integrated MP2.5 software is required to support this software extension.

The ASE5100-DO is an 8-door database extension from the initial 24 doors included in the standard license.

The ASE5100-WS is a single workstation extension from the initial workstation included in the standard license. For more than five workstations‚ Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008 standard edition software is required and needs to be purchased separately.          

The APOGEE interface allows you to monitor alarms raised in the SiPass integrated system directly from your APOGEE Insight Workstation‚ and also acknowledge these alarms from that same workstation without switching systems. This same concept also extends to the monitoring of point states. As a point state in the SiPass integrated system changes‚ it is communicated to the APOGEE system and can be viewed by the APOGEE operator. This leads to reduced training costs and provides an increase in productivity through assimilated learning of a single environment. It also reduces the chance of error‚ as the operator only needs to concentrate on one interface to effectively manage two complex systems. When a cardholder badges an access card at a reader configured for access control‚ the same action can also be linked to the APOGEE system. This allows a cardholder to automatically activate a “Notification Zone”. A notification zone allows building comfort system components to be turned on that relate directly to the cardholder. For example‚ lighting all the areas that lead to the cardholder’s workspace and turning on the air conditioning in the cardholder’s section of the office. Combine this with the powerful OPC A&E client option available in SiPass integrated and OPC Server in the APOGEE system and you can now achieve bi-directional flow of data. This allows both systems to communicate with each other and operators of either system to monitor alarms regardless of the workstation they are using.

The Basic HR API enables SiPass integrated to communicate with third-party business applications and exchange common information‚ which significantly reduces the need to enter identical data into multiple systems.    

Note: To facilitate seamless communication between the Basic HR API and SiPass integrated‚ a small amount of software development is required for the third-party application. With the aid of the SiPass integrated HR API Development Guide‚ this task is relatively simple for a software engineer.      

SiPass integrated video surveillance offers an interface to a number of video surveillance systems. The settings and configurations for cameras and monitors are made directly from the SiPass integrated system. The image sequences can be displayed from the SiPass integrated graphical user interface (GUI) or a standard CCTV monitor. Using the event control function‚ camera sequences can be programmed‚ which are then started automatically with a specific system event. This optional module allows you to upgrade your SiPass integrated client to a video surveillance workstation.        

Supported matrix switchers: 
- Pelco 9760
- Pelco 9740
- Pelco CM6700
- Pelco CM6800

The ASE5300-CW provides the ability to use the SiPass integrated workstation as a CCTV monitoring station. In combination with a video capture card‚ it is possible to view live CCTV images‚ control camera movement‚ and switch cameras from the convenience of the SiPass integrated workstation.    

The Data Synchronizer is a licensable tool for SiPass integrated that allows the user to share cardholder data with a third-party application. This can also be used in conjunction with the Import/Export tool that is freely available in SiPass integrated.     

The ASE5300-DV software allows the user to control and view live or recorded images from multiple digital video recording (DVR) units connected to the same network as SiPass integrated. It is possible to completely manage the recording and playback features of other manufacturers' DVR systems with this software. Combined with the event and alarm handling functionality‚ it is possible to trigger immediate recording from DVR cameras in response to alarms or any other system event.                

The ASE5300-GP software provides security operators with a method of visually monitoring the status of a room‚ a building or an entire facility and the ability to perform routine tasks with a single click of the mouse button.        

Protecting your facility and those that occupy it is critical. Electrical equipment provides superior surveillance‚ but if unseen by intruders it is not a good deterrent. Guards provide a highly visual security component‚ and if used correctly provide an excellent intrusion deterrent. SiPass integrated Guard Tour conveniently integrates your access control and security network with a state-of-the-art electronic patrol verification system.       

Guard Tour uses the same infrastructure as the SiPass integrated system‚ be it card readers‚ biometric readers‚ or any other access or input device. Therefore‚ there is no need to install additional equipment to monitor guard patrols. In addition‚ a guard can be tracked as he/she patrols your site. The same device used to indicate his or her position in a tour is also used to unlock doors and turn on alarm systems. This enables guards to generate real-time duress alarms‚ without arousing suspicion. Guard Tour's advanced functionality allows you to customise tours‚ assign guards to specific or random tours‚ impose time constraints‚ and generate alarms when tour conditions have been breached.        

The Extended HR API is an additional interface that builds upon the Basic HR API (ASE5300-AP). The Extended HR API makes it possible to perform advanced functions from a third-party application such as providing a cardholder with access privileges or assigning a visitor with atemporary access profile.  

Note: To facilitate seamless communication between the Extended HR API and SiPass integrated‚ a small amount of software development is required for the third-party application. With the aid of the SiPass integrated Extended HR API Development Guide‚ this task is relatively simple for a software engineer.

The generic high-level elevator interface (HLI) allows any facility to create a link between their SiPass integrated system and their elevator management system (EMS) for the purpose of controlling access to floors. Once you have configured your system‚ the HLI allows you to manage which cardholders are provided with access to which floors and the times of the day they are permitted to have this access. To ensure that the HLI is compatible with any commercially available EMS‚ a generic elevator protocol is available. This protocol provides all the common commands used by elevator management systems to control access.

Note: Each site must create its own protocol translator to interface SiPass integrated with their local EMS.

The ASE5300-ID software enables the system to quickly and easily capture cardholder photographs and print a personalised access card that includes the photo for each cardholder. This ability to combine cardholder photographs with their access and personal information strengthens any security system. Within minutes it is possible to construct a custom-designed card template‚ complete with company logo‚ photograph and signature‚ plus eye-catching graphics.

This module also enables live-image verification for enhanced security. In snapshot mode‚ an image is captured from a video surveillance camera for comparison with a cardholder photo. In host-verification mode‚ access to the door is controlled by the SiPass integrated operator.     

The intrusion module in SiPass integrated provides native intrusion detection functionality. When it is installed‚ motion detectors can be connected directly to SiPass integrated and the system can be used both as an access control system and an intrusion detection system. The same card readers are then used both for access control purposes and to turn the intrusion detection system on and off. Alternatively‚ in cases where a certified intrusion detection system is required‚ the intrusion module can be used to integrate a dedicated Intrunet SI400 series intrusion control panel into a SiPass integrated system. It is also possible for existing Intrunet SI400 series customers to use the SiPass integrated intrusion module to add a fully featured access control application to their suite of building management tools.                    

Elevator systems pose a unique challenge to a secure facility. The access control system must simultaneously provide a integrated interface to both the elevator management system (EMS) and the security operator for effective access control to floors.        

With the SiPass integrated low-level interface‚ the SiPass integrated advanced central controller operates as the elevator controller. Output point modules operate as the hardware interface‚ handling access at up to 16 floors per unit‚ and providing fire override (FOR) notification.

Configuring access control for an elevator system is a completely transparent process. SiPass integrated simply extends the same concepts governing door access to floors‚ using a consistent and intuitive graphical user interface.

The Management Station Application Programming Interface (API) allows you to integrate SiPass integrated alarms and monitoring with existing building management solutions. This provides the opportunity to create a seamless connection for all your building monitoring needs. You can achieve an effective solution by overseeing and manually commanding all of your SiPass integrated devices via a third-party building management application.

Note: To facilitate seamless communication between the Management Station API and SiPass integrated‚ a small amount of software development is required for the third-party application. With the aid of the SiPass integrated Management Station API Development Guide‚ this task is relatively simple for a software engineer.

In many cases it is convenient to be able to use ID cards not only for access control but also for other applications. By using the SiPass integrated Mifare encoding option‚ cards used for other applications‚ such as cashless payment for goods or food within company facilities‚ for example‚ can also be used for access control.          

Providing security around the clock is a challenge for every facility. The high cost of employing security guards overnight is prohibitive‚ but the risks of potential security breaches when the site is unmanned are huge. The SiPass integrated message forwarding option solves this problem. The ASE5300-MF messaging allows the system to automatically send custom text messages to pagers*‚ mobile telephones* (via GSM Modem or your service provider*) or by e-mail. Using the latest telecommunication technology‚ it is possible to notify key personnel‚ who may otherwise be absent from a premises‚ when security has been breached. This allows a timely and appropriate response to any alarm situation.            

ASE5300-MF software can also forward alarms and messages to the central controlling software of other SiPass integrated servers that reside on the same LAN/WAN. If a business with a SiPass integrated system is not manned‚ alarms can be automatically forwarded to a location with security operators who are monitoring SiPass integrated based activity.     

*Ask your service provider about compatibility.    

Security at any facility extends beyond just the physical entrances and exits. A high security facility today provides a safe environment in which to work including access control‚ video surveillance‚ alarm management‚ and protection against the threat of fire. The SiPass integrated MM8000 interface allows your access control system to seamlessly integrate with an advanced danger management system providing a single location for monitoring all your security and safety needs.           

The OPC client makes it possible to connect to OPC servers so that SiPass integrated can receive alarm and event information from other systems‚ creating a single application for real-time monitoring and notification. Once a message is received‚ SiPass integrated displays it within its own graphical user interface (GUI)‚ which means that the operator does need not change applications to view it.

The OPC server interface makes it possible to broadcast details of SiPass integrated events and alarms to OPC clients such as building management systems and receive acknowledgements from those systems.

SiPass readers are the best choice for use in combination with SiPass integrated software‚ as they do not require any site or facility code. This is not the case for some third-party readers*‚ which require this license for each site or facility code.       

* Please contact your SiPass integrated supplier for further information.   

The ASE5300-TR time recording export software allows advanced time-handling of employees with access cards. It is possible to use the system to register when employees arrive for work and leave at the end of the day‚ then have this data exported to an external file. This file can then be used for time-keeping records or payroll systems.      

Using the DVR API‚ almost any generic DVR unit can become part of a SiPass integrated system. Many DVR management features are available‚ such as live image viewing‚ event-activated recording‚ image verification‚ and full PTZ camera movement. 

Note: To facilitate seamless communication between the DVR API and SiPass integrated‚ a small amount of software development is required for the third-party application. With the aid of the SiPass integrated DVR API Development Guide‚ this task is relatively simple for a software engineer.

The modern office building is a complex affair. Personnel are often a mixture of permanent‚ contract and casual employees‚ each with different access requirements. If you add visitors‚ who can stay for periods ranging from a few hours to a few months‚ your cardholder management system can quickly become overloaded with information about both permanent and non-permanent cardholders. This might lead to confusion and inefficiencies in searching for records.            

SiPass integrated addresses these problems with the visitor management option. With a unique user interface dedicated to capturing visitor details‚ visitor management graphically separates visitor information while offering exactly the same card encoding‚ access control and imaging features available to normal cardholders. It also includes an extensive reporting facility for visitor transactions and custom data pages that can be created exclusively for visitor records.      

The AC5100 advanced central controller can be programmed with up to 500‚000 cardholders and up to 96 doors. It has been specially designed for maximum flexibility‚ and provides six separate field level network (FLN) channels. Each FLN is capable of hosting up to 16 local devices for access control‚ monitoring input devices or controlling output devices.     

The ACC also has a diagnostic port that provides a direct connection to its microprocessor to facilitate the download of operating instructions (firmware). Firmware updates can be made without having to visit the controller cabinets. Communication to the host system occurs via a 10/100Mb Ethernet connection. This allows communications over any WAN or LAN where devices on the network can be assigned a unique IP address. This type of communication ensures the fastest possible transaction times between the host system and ACC field panels.   

The ACC hosts a tamper input that can be used to detect if the cabinet in which it has been mounted has been opened. It also provides an alarm output that can operate a visual or audio alarm when security has been breached.     

The AC5160 is an advanced central controller (ACC) and two dual-reader interfaces (DRI) in one enclosure. The components and a power supply are pre-assembled and wired.    

The architecture of the housing and the included accessory kit allows for an easy and quick installation. As all modules are pre-assembled only the connection to the power supply and the readers has to be established. The enclosure includes cable ducts with strain relief to enable easy wiring with external connection points.    

Additional space in the enclosure makes it possible to add extra SiPass integrated components. For example‚ it is possible to add up to four additional DRIs for a total of 12 readers. Depending on the extension an additional power supply might be required. In this case‚ the two power supplies will then operate in master/slave mode. The integrated tamper switch can be used to monitor the opening of the enclosure‚ which can then be configured as an alarm message in SiPass integrated.      

The AC5200 is a smaller version of Siemens’ high-performance IP-based advanced central controller (ACC). It can manage up to 40‚000 cardholders.     

The ACC-Lite has been specially designed to provide a low-cost alternative for smaller or branch installations. It provides one field level network (FLN) channel which is capable of hosting up to 8 doors for access control‚ monitoring input devices or controlling output devices.       

Firmware can be easily downloaded or updated via TCP/IP connection without having to visit the controller cabinets. Communication with the host system occurs via a two-port Ethernet switch which provides10/100Mb LAN connection. This makes it possible to “daisy chain” controllers. TCP/IP communication ensures the fastest possible transaction times between the host system and the field panels.     

In case of power failure the database on the ACC-Lite is protected in battery-backed memory. This maintains the integrity of the access control data and ensures that the ACC-Lite is back online as soon as power is restored.   

Data Sheet (116 KB)

The ADS5200 provides a Clock&Data/Wiegand interface between a card reader and the advanced central controller (AC5100 or AC5200) for one card reader. When a cardholder presents an access card at an entry or exit reader the ADS5200 reader interface interprets the encoded information and sends this data to the controller. The controller then checks the validity of the cardholder‚ and if the appropriate permissions have been assigned‚ the controller sends a message back to the reader interface allowing it to unlock the door and provide passage. It can also report the status of the door (locked or unlocked) at any time.   

Note: The ADS5200 does not have an RS485 interface for card readers. It supports Clock&Data and Wiegand readers only.

It can also report the status of the door (locked or unlocked) at any time. The ADD5190 supports Clock&Data, Siemens RS485 and iClass OSDP reader protocols. It is housed in a steel cabinet that contains an integrated tamper switch

The ADE5300 provides a local interface between the advanced central controller (AC5100 or AC5200) and up to 8 card readers. From the ADE5300‚ the information held within the access cards is transmitted to the controller. Each time an access attempt is made the controller verifies the data on the ID card and will then either allow or deny access. The ADE5300 can be configured to control up to 8 doors separately or up to 4 doors that include both entry and exit readers. All variations are possible; for example‚ you can have six single-reader doors and 1 dual-reader door connected to one ADE5300. The ADE5300 supports Wiegand, Siemens RS485 and iClass OSDP reader protocols.        

The DC12 is designed to monitor and control one door in a SiPass Entro or SiPass integrated system. When BC-Link is used‚ a single DC12 can support two readers and thereby control both entries and exits to a restricted area (anti-passback).

The DC12 includes an integrated status display window to simplify installation and service. It is compatible both with SiPass readers and with most third-party readers that support Wiegand and Clock&Data standards.

The DC22 includes an integrated status display window to simplify installation and service. It is compatible both with SiPass readers and with most third-party readers that support Wiegand and Clock&Data standards.

The major difference between the DC12 and the DC22 is that the DC22 has additional inputs/outputs that support advanced alarm control functions‚ e.g. alarm status feedback (ASF). These are essential when integration with an intrusion detection system is required. The DC22 also has two outputs for electric locks (day/night lock) as well as separate inputs for open/closed and unlocked/locked door.

Note: The intrusion, ASF and native motor lock functions of the DC22 are only available in SiPass Entro.

PD30-EM is a system Codoor unit that uses EM4102 proximity technology. It contains a reader‚ controller‚ lock mechanism and power supply‚ all in a single housing. Since the PD30-EM is mounted directly onto a standard lock case‚ you do not have to make any cuts in the door other than those required for the cables for power and communication.

PD30-EM is suitable for lock cases with a distance of between 105 mm and 116 mm between the center of the door handle and the center of the lock cylinder. It is designed for use with Scandinavian lock cases.

PD40-EM is a system Codoor unit that uses EM4102 proximity technology. It contains a reader‚ controller‚ lock mechanism and power supply‚ all in a single housing. Since the PD40-EM is mounted directly onto a standard European lock case‚ you do not have to make any cuts in the door other than those required for the cables for power and communication.

PD40-EM is suitable for lock cases with a distance of 72 mm between the center of the door handle and the center of the lock cylinder. It is designed for the European standard lock case‚ following the DIN 18251 standard.

ATI5100 is a field terminal designed for use with SiPass integrated. It acts as a local interface between an advanced central controller (AC5100 or AC5200) and authorised cardholders‚ enabling them to carry out tasks such as arming and disarming intrusion alarm areas.

The AFI5100 is a programmable input controller used as part of a SiPass integrated system. It provides a local interface between the advanced central controller (AC5100 or AC5200) and the devices used to monitor a facility‚ such as infrared detectors. When an input device that is connected to an AFI5100 changes status‚ the AFI5100 registers the status change and forwards this data to the controller. After checking the validity of the data‚ the controller sends the message to the SiPass integrated server‚ so the alarm-handling mechanism can respond appropriately.

Siemens' Cotag technology is unique on the market in that it can provide both proximity and hands-free card reading in the same system. All Cotag readers can read both active (long-range) and passive (proximity) Cotag cards and tags‚ and both types of cards/tags can be mixed in the same system to provide ultimate convenience and cost-efficiency. 

This kit requires a valid SiPass integrated license. To order the SiPass integrated Cotag Card kit‚ you must complete a software license order form. Please contact your SiPass integrated supplier for further details.
