ELECTROMECHANICAL HINGE FOR RS-485 CONNECTION AND DOOR POSITION SENSOR IN DATA CENTER RACKS

Abstract

Technological developments create to needs data protection, monitoring and remote management have an important point. Plenty of industrial electromechanical locking systems are used in order to provide protection both access monitoring in Data Centre server cabinets and server rooms. One of the important points in remote monitoring is to detective the position of the door. In current applications door position is monitored by wired door sensors or wireless reed-switch and magnets. Although this application methods have both many advantages and disadvantages, it is not useful. Our research is to find an alternative and useful solution for the application areas of Data Centre lock systems with a new application method based on the findings. This alternative and useful solution is offered for the application areas of Data Centre lock systems. In consequence, Thanks to this electromechanical hinge design will prevent not only cutting of the communication cables mounted on the cabinet doors but also will perceive from the safest point without requiring additional cost and labor.
