Securing request to exit detectors through sequential logic

Securing REX detectors is critically important when it comes to designing access control systems to ensure the integrity of a high security space. Sequential logic can be implemented to enhance the security of these detectors.

By employing sequential logic, a system can be engineered where a series of specific events or conditions must occur in a pre-defined order before a request to exit is granted. For instance, before the REX detector activates the door release, it might first require a valid card swipe followed by a motion detection event within a specified time frame. This approach not only ensures that the exit request is legitimate but also significantly reduces the chances of false activations or unauthorized access. Proper implementation of sequential logic helps in thwarting tailgating and piggybacking attempts, ensuring a tighter and more effective security regime for controlled areas.
