Screen Layout of Wiegand

 

 

Wiegand Format is a string of predefined bits. In simpler terms, it is the arrangement of binary card data and is required to analyze the data received from the input, and before sending, the data will be put into a predefined format. Wiegand strings consist of even parity, odd parity, facility code, and ID codes. Invixium Devices support the following Wiegand formats:

1. 26-bit standard format

   The Standard 26-bit Format is an open format. It is widely used by various industries and is available from many sources. Almost all access control systems accept the Standard 26-bit Format.

2. Pass-Thru Wiegand

   This format is customized as compared to the 26-bit standard format. This Wiegand Format string does not contain any Parity bits and Facility code bits, the format string of this Wiegand type will only contain ID codes.

3. Custom Wiegand

   In custom Wiegand Format, all parts of the Wiegand string are customizable. This type of Wiegand Format contains Parity bits and ID code bits in the Wiegand Format string. The maximum length of a custom Wiegand Format is 512 bits. Custom Wiegand Format gives complete freedom to the admin to create a Wiegand Format. Admin can specify any number of user fields, can have any number of ID bits, and can have a maximum of four even parity and four odd parity bits.

Field Description of Wiegand

A list of existing Wiegands is displayed. Please note that the Standard 26-bit Format Wiegand is automatically created and it can not be deleted.
