Biometric Switches
Stand-alone biometric switch
(XB5S1/XB5S2)
The biometric switches of the Harmony® XB5S range are designed to control and secure
access to systems and machines by checking users’ authorization through fingerprint
recognition.
The following types of biometric switches are available:
•
Stand-alone biometric switches
– type XB5S1, with 2 fixed states (bistable)
– type XB5S2, with pulse control (monostable)
•
Stand-alone USB biometric switches
– type XB5S3, with 2 fixed states (bistable)
– type XB5S4, with pulse control (monostable)
•
USB biometric switches dedicated to Schneider HMI
– type XB5S5, connected permanently with HMI
Stand-alone USB biometric switch
(XB5S3/XB5S4)
The biometric switches are aimed at 2 categories:
•
Administrators, who decide and manage the list of users
– the only people who can record the fingerprints in the device memory
•
Users, who are authorized to use the biometric switch as a control unit
– at least 1 of their fingerprints should be recorded in the device memory
– access is granted when the finger is placed on the sensing screen
The USB switches communicate with the PC/HMI via the USB port to manage the user
database. This database can be visualized, saved, and duplicated by PC/HMI with
XB5SSoft application
[100] [101]. The fingerprint records can also be erased in the
absence of users.
The Schneider HMI
[102] with VijeoDesigner software [103] enables the switches to
authorize different access levels and trace HMI operations of each user.
The switch operates on 24 Vdc and provides protection against:
•
Reverse polarity
•
Overload and short-circuit (switching capacity ≤ 200 mA)
Mounting
The product is of monolithic design (a single plastic housing) and is mounted by means
of a nut (hand-tightened without need for tools) in a standard 22.5 mm/0.886 in. diameter
hole. It can be installed on a flat, horizontal, or vertical surface.
A protective cover is available as an accessory to protect the active face of the sensing
screen. This cover is mounted using a self-adhesive hinge.
A Female/Female USB extension cable makes it possible for the USB biometric switch to
have the female USB port within a 22 mm/0.866 in. diameter hole on the control panel
front.
