NotifierESibM
Notifier E-SIB-M is a license key to enable Modbus TCP communication for a series of Notifier and Honeywell fire detection panels:
AM8200 Notifier (legacy up to 8 lines per control panel)
AM8100 Notifier
AM1000CL
AM2000CL
AM6000CL
MA1000-03
MA2000-03
MA1000-01
MA2000-01
MA1000-02
MA2000-02
AM8200N Notifier (up to 4 lines per control panel)
AM8200N Honeywell (up to 4 lines per control panel)
AM8200 Honeywell (legacy up to 8 lines per control panel)
AM8100 Honeywell
MA1000-04
MA2000-04
The integration with HSYCO can be accomplished via a standard Modbus TCP/IP connection. This I/O server was developed following the MODBUS documentation Mod-Bus_Prot_rev.01.
For any information regarding the activation of the Modbus protocol on the E-SIB-M dongle, please contact your Notifier distributor.
Communication
Section titled “Communication”Notifier E-SIB-M compatible panels can be connected via ethernet. A valid IP address must be assigned to the panel. MODBUS PROTOCOL must be enabled. Please refer to the panel manual for detailed instruction about MODBUS protocol configuration.
HSYCO Configuration
Section titled “HSYCO Configuration”Add a Notifieresibm I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:
Communication
Section titled “Communication”- Address: IP address of the Notifier E-SIB-M panel
- Port: TCP/IP port for MODBUS communication (default 502)
High Availability
Section titled “High Availability”- Shutdown when inactive: defaults to false.
Options
Section titled “Options”| ID | Default | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| gui | true | true | enable support for the UI object, UISET actions and USER commands |
| false | disable UI support | ||
| 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 | ||
| modulesnumber | 159 | n = 0..159 | highest module address of all the connected panels. E.G. If 2 panel with 2 lines are connected and the first panel has 20 modules on the first line, and 10 on the second, and the second panel has 30 modules on the first line and 10 on the second you should set modulesnumber = 30 to read all the modules |
| sensorsnumber | 159 | n = 0..159 | highest sensor address of all the connected panels. E.G. If 2 panel with 2 lines are connected and the first panel has 30 sensors on the first line, and 10 on the second, and the second panel has 50 sensors on the first line and 10 on the second you should set sensorsnumber = 50 to read all the modules |
| zonesnumber | 10 | n = 0..2000 | set to the highest zone number configured in the system. |
| pollinterval | 250 | n = 100..30000 | time interval in milliseconds added at the end of each driver loop cycle. |
| readpause | 0 | n = 0..1000 | time interval in milliseconds added between consecutive Modbus read operations, for every 100 Modbus registers requested. Use this parameter carefully: on systems with hundreds of zones and sensors, setting a value close to 1000 ms may significantly extend the overall polling cycle, potentially approaching or exceeding the driver timeout. |
| maxpanelsnumber | n = 1..64 | forces the driver to read the control panel status up to the specified panel number, overriding the automatic panel detection. | |
| maxlinesnumber | n = 1..12 | forces the driver to read the control panel status up to the specified line number, overriding the automatic line detection. |
notifieresibm.ini
Section titled “notifieresibm.ini”The notifieresibm.ini file is a specific configuration file located in the root directory.
This file is required to provide the I/O Server the name assignment of zones and devices.
This is an example of the file content:
noti.z1 = Zone 1
noti.panel.1.line.1.sensor.1 = Sensor 1 Line 1 Panel 1
noti.panel.1.line.1.sensor.10 = Sensor 10 Line 1 Panel 1
noti.panel.1.line.1.module.1.subddr.2 = Module 1 Line 1 Panel 1 Subaddr 2
noti.panel.1.line.2.module.1.subddr.1 = Module 1 Line 2 Panel 1 Subaddr 1
Where "noti" is the I/O Server id of the NOTIFIERESIBM I/O Server
If you have multiples NOTIFIERESIBM I/O Servers:
noti1.z1 = Zone 1
noti1.panel.1.line.1.sensor.1 = Sensor 1 Line 1 Panel 1
noti2.panel.1.line.1.sensor.10 = Sensor 10 Line 1 Panel 1
noti2.panel.1.line.1.module.1.subddr.2 = Module 1 Line 1 Panel 1 Subaddr 2
noti3.panel.1.line.2.module.1.subddr.1 = Module 1 Line 2 Panel 1 Subaddr 1
