What hardware architecture and I/O configuration distinguish the eSSL C3-400 from single or dual-door controllers?

Answer:
The eSSL C3-400 features a dedicated 32-bit 400 MHz processor, 32 MB RAM, and 128 MB flash memory inside a powder-coated aluminium enclosure. It provides 12 onboard inputs (4 exit devices, 4 door status sensors, and 4 auxiliary inputs) and 8 Form-C relay outputs (4 lock relays and 4 auxiliary relays).

Designed specifically for four-door facilities, the eSSL C3-400 offers an integrated input/output architecture on a single panel, avoiding the need for multiple single-door slave modules:

  • Processing Architecture: Driven by a 32-bit 400 MHz CPU paired with 32 MB RAM and 128 MB flash memory to process multi-door credential verification locally without network latency.
  • Input Terminals (12 total): 4 dedicated Request-to-Exit (REX) push button inputs, 4 door status sensor inputs (magnetic reed switches), and 4 auxiliary inputs for external security integrations.
  • Relay Outputs (8 total): 4 Form-C relays rated for electronic locks (electromagnetic locks, drop bolts, or strike locks) and 4 Form-C relays dedicated to auxiliary triggers.
  • Advanced Logic Capabilities: Supports controller-level hardware interlock, multi-card authentication, duress mode activation, and anti-passback across connected doors.
  • Chassis Construction: Housed in a robust powder-coated aluminium cabinet designed for industrial control room wall mounting.
