Command box
The controller that connects the kiosk, sensors, and gate.
Installed near the access point, the command box receives authorized inputs, controls compatible equipment and reports available status to the platform.
Role in the system
A technical component with a defined responsibility
The command box does not set access policy. It executes the command resulting from the configured journey and provides an integration point for compatible readers, gates, detectors and signals.
- FunctionControlled commands
- Only configured scenarios and devices can be operated.
- Site requirementsField state
- Available inputs and events are returned for review and diagnosis.
Integration
Every input and output is validated.
Voltage, protocols, safe behaviour and available states vary by equipment. Design confirms interfaces before wiring; an electrical contact alone does not guarantee a complete integration.
- Readers and identifiers
- Gates and opening devices
- Presence or position detectors
- Available alarms and technical states
Continuity
Failure behaviour is a project decision.
Network loss, power failure, blocked equipment and emergency access are documented with the operator and relevant manufacturers. Manual commands remain controlled and available only to authorized people.
The platform can support remote diagnosis when data and communications are available; physical service may still be required.
