Description
The Johnson Controls CK721-A is an advanced intelligent network controller for access control and security management. It is the field panel that holds the cardholder database and access decisions locally, and it is designed for high-volume, high-speed traffic between the field devices and a host security management system - it integrates with Johnson Controls P2000 security management software.
The controller is built around an embedded 32-bit processor with 128 MB of flash memory and connects to the host over 10/100Base-T Ethernet. Downstream it uses RS-485 to reach reader and input modules, so card readers, door contacts, request-to-exit devices and monitored inputs are wired to local modules rather than back to the panel. Local storage holds 200,000 cards and 8,000 offline transactions, which is the specification that matters most in practice: if the network link to the host is lost, the panel keeps granting and denying access from its own database and buffers the event log until communication is restored. Supply power is 24 VDC at 24 VA, and the unit can be mounted on a flat surface, on DIN rail, or inside a UL-listed enclosure.
The CK721-A is the successor to the CK720 and retains many of the same capabilities.
