Product Name(s): EC-ACC
Product Description: The Easycontrols EC-ACC controller is a microprocessor-based two-door access controller designed to control access applications. The EC-ACC controller uses the LONWORKS communication protocol and has hardware inputs and outputs for all the devices at an access point necessary to provide stand-alone and networked access control functionality.
Product Application(s): The EC-ACC controls and supervises directly–attached end devices for two local access points including: readers/keypads, readers’ visual indicators and audible buzzers, electric door locks, door position sensors, request to exit sensors, passage sensors, and an enclosure tamper sensor. Multiple controllers can be connected together to create a network of hundreds of doors.

Additional Information
* Items in NV memory are not lost upon power or battery failure. Other types of NV memory such as EPROM, NOVROM, etc. do not directly impact system performance.
Can trend data be stored in this controller? Yes
How many total trend values can be stored? 2000 Events and messages
What is the controllers role in trending? Storing all activiting occuring at a door.
Can controller be programmed to 'push' data to archive or are trends 'pulled' from controller?
When full, does controller automatically send up trend data, overwrite data, or stop logging data? Percentage full triggers an upload - logging continues.
Programming Method(s) Card database is programmed via UI
Resident vs Non-Resident Program Execution
Scheduling
Resident/Supervisory. This controller supervises the scheduling of other controllers.
Resident/Stand Alone. This controller contains its own schedule.
Non-Resident. This controller is dependent upon another controller for its schedule.
None. This controller has no scheduling features.
