Harmony™ XB5S
Biometric Switch
Introduction
Introduction
Harmony™ XB5S Biometric Switches are designed to control and secure access
to systems and machines by checking a user’s authorization, via ngerprint
recognition technology.
The following types of biometric switches are available:
b Stand-alone biometric switches
vtype XB5S1, with 2 xed states (maintained)
vtype XB5S2, with pulse control (momentary)
b Stand-alone USB biometric switches
vtype XB5S3, with 2 xed states (maintained)
vtype XB5S4, with pulse control (momentary)
b USB biometric switches dedicated to Schneider Electric HMI
vtype XB5S5, connected permanently with HMI
The two types of users of the XB5S are:
b Administrators, who decide and manage the list of users
vthe only people who can record the ngerprints in the device memory
b Users, who are authorized to use the biometric switch as a control unit
vat least 1 of their ngerprints should be recorded in the device memory
vaccess is granted when the nger 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 (1) (2). The ngerprint records can also be erased in the
absence of users.
The Schneider Electric HMI (3) with Vijeo™ Designer™ software (4) 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:
vReverse polarity
vOverload and short-circuit (switching capacity y 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 at, 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.
