Barrier control systems

There are many ways to implement automatic barrier control systems. You can control the barrier with RFID/NFC card, using a camera to detect the plate number of the car to open it, or simply can create a VoIP phone controlled one. The guides below explain how you can implement these.

Ozeki 10 makes it easier to create these systems. You only need to connect the devices and write a few lines of code then you get a fully automatic control system. In each example you need a relay to operate the barrier, but the identification is done in different ways. In addition to the current examples, the barrier can be opened in many ways for example sending an SMS, with remote controlling etc.

RFID barrier gate
After the card has been read by the RFID/NFC card reader, it will transmit the card ID to the control PC for analyzing. If this ID figures in the database, the control PC will turn the barrier control relay to on state to open up the barrier. After a few seconds, the barrier will close down.

Number plate recognition barrier
When a car arrives, the camera takes a picture of it and transmits it to the control PC for analyzing. The system recognizes the number plate on the received picture. The control PC verifies if the recognized number plate is exists in the database. If yes, it will open up the barrier by turning the relay to open state.

VoIP PBX phone controlled barrier
If there is an incoming call, the system accepts it and reads aloud the welcome message to the caller, then ask it to enter the gate code. After the caller have entered it, the Ozeki 10 system running on the control PC will open the barrier for a few seconds then close it.
