There is an easy solution for convenient integration of ESS control panels into the Foxtrot system; it allows a rapid integration into the user program even without any knowledge of the control panel and communication with it. The solution rests on a module built in the ESS control panel, which should be connected via the RS-232 interface to the basic Foxtrot module, and the program service will be provided by a standard function block, which secures all communication with the control panel; all data is transmitted in a fixed data structure, independent of any specific control panel.

The transmitted data is divided into several groups:

  1. The status of the loops (sensors) - information on the current status of up to 512 connected sensors (the data is also active in the disarmed state, and it can be used, e.g. for the control of heating or lighting).

  2. The status of subsystems; a subsystem is a group of sensors (e.g. “a garage”).

  3. System statuses - the status of the control panel and other information.

 

Only one instruction can be entered in the control panel, which is “arm” - a possibility of remotely arming the house if the residents have left and failed to do it.

 

The first control panel that can be connected in this way is the Tecnoalarm TP16-256, distributed by ATISgroup; it is a security control panel:

  • it has 16 to 256 independently programmable loops and 32 subsystems,

  • 1 tamper loop, 32 guarding programmes,

  • an integrated voice module, 201 user codes, 64 electronic keys, 32 timers, 8 time windows, a relay output for the sirens (indoor and outdoor),

  • a space for a 17 Ah battery, a metal casing, an anti-opening and anti-detachment tamper, an integrated telephone and voice communicator, a memory of 3,000 events, the RDV and RSC functions.
