Galaxy
The Honeywell Galaxy Dimension panels are multi-area intrusion detection systems. The integration with HSYCO can be accomplished via RS-232 serial communication.
Contents
Communication
Employ a RS-232 straight cable to connect the panel directly to HSYCO or to an Ethernet/RS-232 gateway.
RS-232 parameters:
Baud rate | 9600 |
Data bits | 8 |
Stop bit | 1 |
Parity | none |
Flow control | none |
Galaxy Configuration
It is required to configure the panel for HSYCO to be able to communicate with it. Follow these instructions:
- Enable the engineer access
- Menu 48.1.1 - set to 1 (Enabled)
- Enable engineer mode
- Enter engineer PIN, followed by ENT
- Enable remote access and events reporting
- Menu 56.6.2 - set to 1 (SIA)
- Set SIA level to 4
- Enable (set to ON) all the events to be sent to HSYCO
- Menu 56.6.3 - set an account number (e.g. “0001”)
HSYCO Configuration
Options
ID | Default | Values | Description |
---|---|---|---|
pin | <code> | PIN code assigned to the “remote” user. This option is mandatory | |
maxzone | 4158 | 0 ... 4158 | highest zone number among the zones used on the panel. This option is recommended to improve the I/O Server's performances |
maxgroup | 32 | 0 ... 32 | highest index among the groups used on the panel. This option is recommended to improve the I/O Server's performances |
maxoutput | 256 | 0 ... 256 | highest index among the outputs used on the panel. This option is recommended to improve the I/O Server's performances |
guiobject | true | true | enable support for the galaxy UI object |
false | disable support for the galaxy UI object | ||
guizones | false | true | enable the zones-related UISET actions |
false | disable the zones-related UISET actions | ||
guioutputs | false | true | enable the outputs-related UISET actions |
false | disable the outputs-related UISET actions | ||
startupevents | false | true | generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase |
false | start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system | ||
pollinterval | 5 | n > 0 | the data acquisition interval, in seconds |
logsize | 20 | n ≥ 0 | the number of log lines to display in the UI object |
showall | false | true | in the zones list of the galaxy UI object show all the zones up to the number specified in the 'maxzone' option |
false | in the zones list of the galaxy UI object show only the zones for which a name has been defined in galaxy.ini |
galaxy.ini
The galaxy.ini file is a specific configuration file located in the root directory. Here you can define the names of the zones so that they will be automatically added to the user interface. Add a new line for each zone using this format:
<io_server_id>.z<n> = <name>
For instance:
gxy.z1001 = Entrance gxy.z1002 = Corridor gxy.z2001 = Room 1

User Interface
Galaxy Object
The user interfacce for the Galaxy multi-area intrusion detection system:
The Galaxy object is listed in the Project Editor’s new object list only when at least one Galaxy I/O Server is defined.
Parameters
- server id: the server ID
- group number:
- position: the object's position. Use the pixels or rows and columns coordinates format
Syntax
(galaxy <server id>; <group number>; <position>)
E.g.
(galaxy serverid; group number; x10y20)

Log Files
A permanent detailed record of all the Galaxy log messages is saved in a file called security.log in the logs/YYYY directory for the current year. This file is never overwritten or deleted by HSYCO.
Other information related to the Galaxy I/O Server are saved in the daily message.log files.
