Hephais

The SD3 HEPHAIS 1600 / DEF is a multi-zones fire panel. The integration with HSYCO can be accomplished via a standard Modbus RTU slave interface. This I/O Server requires HEPHAIS 1600 with protocol modbus JBUS V0.13.

Modbus Connections

The HEPHAIS 1600 has a Modbus interface.

• Modbus address: 1 (can be set to 1 - 247)

• RS-422 parameters:

Baud rate	9600
Data bits	8
Stop bit	1
Parity	none
Flow control	none

Refer to the HEPHAIS 1600 manuals for installation, wiring and power supply requirements.

The modbus wires terminal is the “Block 11”. Modbus type is RS-422/JBUS (IN+/OUT+, IN-/OUT-, GND).

The Modbus-TCP/IP gateway used for the connection must support RS-422/JBUS.

HSYCO Configuration

You can define and connect more than one HEPHAIS panel on the same Modbus bus gateway or through different gateways.

Add an Hephais I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:

Communication

• Comm ID: select a MODBUSTCP I/O server if using a Modbus gateway, or the serial port id when using a direct RS-485 port with HSYCO acting as Modbus RTU master.

High Availability

• Shutdown when inactive: defaults to false.

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
address	1	1...247	the panel's Modbus address
pollinterval	3	n > 0	the data acquisition interval, in seconds
maxpoint	m4.l2.200	point id	id of the highest point used on the panel. The number after ‘m’ represents the number of the module, the number after ‘l’ represents the loop number of the module and the last number is the address of the point within the loop. Acceptable values range from “m1.l1.1” to “m9.l2.200”
hysteresis	0	<n>	if different than zero, the datapoints’ values are checked <n> times before being set. Setting this option to a value different from zero will decrease the responsiveness of the driver

hephais.ini

The hephais.ini file is a specific configuration file located in the root directory. Here you can define the names of the users so that they will be automatically added to the user interface. Add a new line for each user using this format:

<io_server_id>.m<m>.l<l>.<addr>.name = <name>

Add a new line to specify the zone the point belongs using this format: <io_server_id>.m<m>.l<l>.<addr>.zone = <name>

Add a new line to define the name of a zone using this format: <io_server_id>.z<n>.name = <name>

For instance:

fire.m1.l1.1.name = Entrance
fire.m1.l1.1.zone = 1
fire.m1.l1.2.name = Corridor
fire.m1.l1.2.zone = 2

fire.z1.name = Zone 1
fire.z2.name = Zone 2
