1. Read settings

 

<Figure 1> is read setting example of Vindicator Display Bus Protocol communication driver.

<Figure 1> Read setting example of Vindicator Display Bus Protocol driver

Device settings of <Figure 1> are input, Com Port(COM1), Com Baud(9600), Parity Bit(1), Data Bit(8), Stop Bit(1) which are set at device.

Also, you can set whether to save data(1 : Save, 0 : Not save, Default = 1) which there is no read schedule, communication memory start position to save data(0 ~ 9999, Default = 500) which there is no read schedule by separating as comma(,).

 

Vindicator Display Bus Protocol driver's read schedule example

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows :

1) Read Point Number : Point number of between 0 and 65535.

2) Read Block Type : Set among F0, F5, FA, FC, F3, F4, F6 and F7. (Refer to <Table 1>)

3) Read Start Address : Don't care. (Set as 0)

4) Save Start Address for Communication Server : Saving start address of Communication Server.

5) Read Size : Fixed to 1 always. Fix according to read Block(Six data). (Refer to <Table 1>)

 

Read schedule)

READ,   1001,    FA,     0,   10,   1,

READ,   1007,    FA,     0,   20,   1,

READ,   1001,    F4,     0,   30,   1,

READ,   1007,    F4,     0,   40,   1,

 

<Table 1> is read Block type and save address of Vindicator Display Bus Protocol communication driver.

Save data address

Remarks

F0, F5, FA, FC

F0 : Initialize

F5 : Acknowledge Event

FA : Normal Data

FC : System Test Period

Save address + 0 ~ 5  : Alarm status value of point 1 to 6.

 

But, just read value which there is no read schedule is

Save address + 0 : Point number,

Save address + 1 ~ 6  :  Alarm status value of point 1 to 6.

Alarm status value

Status value between 0 and FFh(255),

 

No.0 bit : Red,       No.1 bit : Yellow

No.2 bit : Green,     No.3 bit : 0,

No.4 bit : Flash Red,  No.5 bit : Flash Yellow

No.6 bit : Flash Green, No.7 bit : (Use)

F3

Operator Command &

Time/Date Block

Save address + 0  : Hour

Save address + 1  : Minute

Save address + 2  : Month

Save address + 3  : Day

Save address + 4  : Operator Call Up

Save address + 5  : Graphic Command

 

But, just read value which there is no read schedule is

Save address + 0 : Point number,

Save address + 1 ~ 6  : Hour, Minute, Month, Day, ¡¦.

Operator Call Up = No.0 bit : Graphic Request,

No.1 bit : Text Request

 

Graphic Command = No.0 bit : Duress(1 = true)

                 No.1 bit : Tamper(1 = true)

                 No.2 bit : Ack Event(1 = true)

F4

Graphic Alarm Point Status

Save address + 0 ~ 5  : Alarm status value of no.1 to no.6 point

Alarm status value

 

But, just read value which there is no read schedule is

Save address + 0 : Point number,

Save address + 1 ~ 6 : Alarm status value of point 1 to 6.

Status value is between 0 to FFh(255) value,

 

0 = Don't care,          1 = Secure Point,

2 = COMP or Trouble,  3 = Access,

4 = Timed Access,     5 = Alarm,

6 = Test Fail,           8 = Test Reset,

9 = Test is Next to Report,

10 = Test has Report,

11 = High Priority Alarm,

12 = Tour Late Alarm,

13 = Tour Out-of-sequence Alarm,

17 = Test Pass Status,

18 = Two-man Access Pending,

19 = Two-man Secure Pending,

20 = Sensor Temper Alarm,

21 = Sensor Trouble Alarm,

22 = Fire Type Sensor Alarm

F6

Summary Display

Save address + 0  ~ 3 : Summary Display Status

Save address + 4 ~ 5  : 0

 

But, just read value which there is no read schedule is

Save address + 0 ~ 6 : 0, Status value, ¡¦.

Refer to Vindicator manual

F7

CCTV Command

Save address + 0 : View CCTV

Save address + 1 ~ 5  : 0

 

But, just read value which there is no read schedule is

Save address + 0 ~ 6 : 0, View CCTV, ¡¦.

View Point = No.0 ~ No.4 bit : Don't care,

     no.5 bit : View CCTV/Step Queue/Blank,

     no.6 ~ no.7 bit : Don't care.

<Table 1> Read Block type and save address of read value for Vindicator Display Bus Protocol communication driver

Notice) Value which is read by Vindicator Display Bus Protocol communication driver is saved as same value to WORD/DWORD/FLOAT memory(Value type, only difference)

 

If you click the icon  in protocol option part, you can see the dialog box such as <Figure 2>. You can also set read schedule by using this part.
