Esser
ESSER 8xxx/IQ8/FlexES are multi-area fire panels. The integration with HSYCO can be accomplished using IBOX Modbus Server - ESSER gateway, a TCP/IP modbus interface. This I/O server was developed following the MODBUS documentation ES-MN-18002-01-2, 11-2013.

Communication
ESSER panels can be connected via ethernet. A valid IP address must be assigned to the IBOX Modbus Server - ESSER gateway. Please refer to the manual for detailed instruction about IBOX configuration.
HSYCO Configuration
Add a ESSER I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:
Communication
- Address: IP address of the ESSER IBOX
- Port: TCP/IP port for MODBUS communication (default 502)

Esser CSV file
It is mandatory to import a CSV file for each Esser I/O Server declared. These CSV files must be saved in the "esser" folder. The name syntax of each file must be the following: ".csv"
For example, if the id of the I/O Server is "esser1", the csv file must have have the name esser1.csv
This CSV file is an export of the IBOX Configuration Modbus Table. This file is required to provide to the I/O Server the list of all the modbus addresses that must be read.
This is an example of the file content:
