The DSC Power Series control panels can be connected to the Foxtrot basic module via the IT-100 communication module. The Mosaic programming environment offers a function block for communication with the DSC control panels Power Series PC1616, PC1832 and PC1864.
The Foxtrot basic module periodically inquires into the control panel status and reads all data.
What is available for the user is the status of all zones, all blocks (subsystems), the status of LEDs on the control panel and the status of the control panel itself.
Communication takes place via the serial channel, using the RS-232 interface.
The default setting of the DSC control panel is 9,600 baud, 8 bit data, without parity, 1 stop bit.
The control panel is equipped with a standard Dsub 9 pin connector with the RS-232 terminated interface; it should be connected to the Foxtrot basic module as a standard RS232 device (only the RxD, TxD and GND signals are used, the wiring is a standard crossover "null modem"). For more information on using the Foxtrot serial communication channels see the documentation from Saltek.
