I/O Modules and Devices

Greater functionality for access control, alarm monitoring and security applications

A full range of door controller boards offers functionality for access control, alarm monitoring and security applications, plus a choice of Software House RM protocol and OSDP mode for enhanced security options.

  • The latest Software House input/output modules are quick, cost-effective ways to increase the security of your critical assets in your own time. These drop-in replacements for I8/R8 boards allow you to gradually upgrade to a secure OSDP channel while still supporting the RM protocol.
  • This new family of modules increases performance via faster processors and memory, all without an intensive system overhaul.
  • Paired with OSDP-verified iSTAR G2 controllers, these modules exponentially increase your security from device to controller. They enable you to expand your controller capacity with eight inputs per module and eight outputs module, reducing costly real estate and wiring requirements.

    Your path to OSDP

    OSDP – also known as Open Supervised Device Protocol – is an international access control communications standard. It was developed to improve interoperability among access control and security products. Our OSDP I/O module portfolio enables you to gradually upgrade your hardware to the newest two-way secure communication channels, without having to go through a cost-intensive overhaul.
    Your path to OSDP

    Features

    • Backward compatible options, with a choice of an Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) secure channel or Software House RM protocol via an onboard dip switch
    • Increased scalability to expand controller capacity, with eight supervised inputs for each I8 module and eight outputs for each R8 module
    • Cost effective wiring for reduced costs and installation time
    • An accurate functionality check, with detailed visual inspection LED displays for power, communication, inputs and outputs
    • Secured and open end-to-end encrypted communication based on industry open standards
    • A convenient power source with wet/dry output terminals that directly power local devices such as sounders and strobes
