Wiegand Interface

- In a Wiegand interface,
data transmission is one way only, meaning that the Controller is unable
to ‘talk’ to the reader – it can only listen
- This
means that if a card read is only partially received, or is corrupted,
the Controller has no way to ask the reader to repeat its message
- A bad card read therefore usually results in no feedback to the user who is trying to get through a door
