Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for secure data communication, remote command-line login, remote command execution, and other secure network services between two networked computers that connects, via a secure channel over an insecure network, a server and a client (running SSH server and SSH client programs, respectively).

The best-known application of the protocol is for access to shell accounts on Unix-like operating systems, but it can also be used in a similar fashion for accounts on Windows.

It was designed as a replacement for Telnet and other insecure remote shell protocols, which send information, notably passwords, in plaintext, rendering them susceptible to interception and disclosure using packet analysis.

The encryption used by SSH is intended to provide confidentiality and integrity of data over an unsecured network, such as the Internet.

The SSH I/O Server implements the SSH-2 version of the protocol, and supports remote command execution and the SCP protocol for bidirectional file transfer. It uses HSYCO data points to execute commands and return command status, making it easy to use the SSH protocol in EVENTS, as well as JavaScript and Java.

The SSH I/O Server establishes a single SSH connection to the server, using password-based authentication, and creates individual sessions to execute single commands.

Note Commands are executed sequentially, not in parallel.

SSH Remote Server Configuration

The remote system should be configured to accept the SSH connection from the HSYCO server using the username and password defined in the I/O Server’s options.

If you need to execute operating system’s commands with superuser privileges (with the sudo program), the remote user name defined with the user option in the SSH I/O Server configuration must be allowed to execute “sudo” commands without asking for a password.

For example, if the user is hsyco, you could add the line:

hsyco ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

at the end of the /etc/sudoers file (use the visudo command to edit the /etc/sudoers file).

HSYCO Configuration

Options

ID Default Values Description
stdout true true when a remote command is executed, generate IO events containing the command's standard output and standard error streams
false do not generate IO events of the command's output and error streams

Datapoints

The data points associated to the input pins are named “i0” to “i7”. The data points associated to the output pins are named “o0” to “o7”.

The I/O Server generates asynchronous events based on the status of the Arteco module’s input and output pins. The output data points can be written to control the output pins.

ID Value R/W Description
connection online R connection established
offline R HSYCO can't connect to the panel
i<n> 0 R input <n> is low
1 R input <n> is high
o<n> 0 R output <n> is low
W set output <n> to off
1 R output <n> is high
W set output N to on
flip W invert the status of output <n>
blink W continuously blink output <n>
pulse W set output <n> to on, then off after 1 sec.

User Interface

When using the default settings of the Arteco I/O Server, all output pins are available in the Project Editor and can be easily associated to any control button of the Web interface.

You can also set the inputdiscovery option in order to associate control buttons to the module’s inputs: the control buttons will show the input status, and have no effect when pressed.
