ATON AH66T is a multi-zone audio system. The integration with HSYCO can be accomplished via direct control through the RS232 port on the module.

The ATON I/O Server in HSYCO supports the integration of more than one unit within the same HSYCO interface.

Communication

Employ a DE-9 (often called DB-9) female-male RS-232 straight cable to connect the AH66T COM1 port to the serial port on HSYCO SERVER (female DB9 to RJ45 adaptor is included in AH66T packaging).

RS-232 parameters:

Baud rate same as set on the module (115200/57600/38400/19200/9600)
Data bits 8
Stop bit 1
Parity none
Flow control none

ATON Configuration

The ATON module must be configured to enable the communication with HSYCO.

Use the ATON SystemWorx tool to modify the configuration:

Note Make sure to specify “ExtControl” as Driver Type of COM Port 1, set the serial communication parameters, and transfer the configuration to the module.

User Interface

Aton Object

The user interface for the Aton multi-room system:

UI Object aton.png

The Aton object is listed in the Project Editor’s new object list only when at least one Aton I/O Server is defined.


Parameters

  • server id: the server ID. Supports Redirect variables
  • module: module. Supports Redirect variables
  • zone: zone number of the Aton multi-room system (max 12 zones). Supports Redirect variables
  • position: the object's position. Use the pixels or rows and columns coordinates format

Syntax

(aton <server id>; <module>; <zone>; <position>)

E.g.

(aton serverid; module; zone; x10y20)

USER Commands

To send a user command to the I/O Server just set the name to the ID of a writable (W) datapoint and the parameter to one of the possible values.

For instance, setting the name of a user button to “aton.z1.power” and its param field to “flip”, will result in having a switch for zone 1. Naming it “aton.z1.source” with a valid source as param (e.g. “1”, “2”, or “R1”) will result in a button for setting the audio source of the zone.

The volume control is both a display field for the current volume status, and a control to set the volume level of a zone. You should use the slider or sliderbutton object for this control and set both its ID and Address fields to “serverID.zN.volume”.
