Notifier
The NOTIFIER AM-2000, AM-4000 and AM-6000 are multi-area fire panels. The integration with HSYCO can be accomplished via a standard Modbus RTU slave interface.
Communication
The NOTIFIER SIB 600 Modbus interface is required. The default connection parameters are:
Modbus address: 1 ... 32
RS-485 parameters:
| Baud rate | 9600 |
| Data bits | 8 |
| Stop bit | 1 |
| Parity | none |
| Flow control | none |
Refer to the Notifier manuals for installation, wiring and power supply requirements.
Here's a screenshot of the manual:
RS485 MODBUS port is on pin 5,6,7
It's mandatory to enable the SIB 600 module with UPLOAD PK 2000, PK4000 or PK6000. The MODBUS address must be assigned in the TCP/IP field.
HSYCO Configuration
Add a NOTIFIER 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| address | 1 | 1 ... 32 | the panel’s Modbus address |
| 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 | ||
| pollinterval | 1 | > 0 | set to the highest zone number configured in the panel. Set to 0 to disable zone status polling and control commands |
| lastzone | 150 | 0 ... 150 | set to the highest zone number configured in the panel. Set to 0 to disable zone status polling and control commands |
| loglines | 100 | ≥ 0 | if GUI support is enabled, set to the maximum number of lines to show in the log text object. Set to 0 to disable the GUI log |

|---|---|---|---|
| log | value | a textual log of all relevant events. The last event is at the top, with older events scrolled down, then removed from the log past the log lines limit | |
| log0 | value | latest line of the security log when a new entry is added, set back to blank after a short period | |

USER Commands
You can use the user object, or any other GUI object that generates user events, to execute any command that could be sent writing to a data point, as defined in the | Datapoints table. Set the user object’s name field to the datapoint (event) name, prefixed by the IO Server id, and its param field to the value that should be written to execute the command.
For example, to disable zone 1, use the following object:
(user fire.zone.1.disabled; 1; r4c2; gr; zone 1 off)
To enable zone 1:
(user fire.zone.1.disabled; 0; r4c3; gr; zone 1 on)
