Domino
The DOMINO system is DUEMMEGI’s proprietary bus architecture for home automation. HSYCO fully integrates with this system through the DFCP control and gateway module, and its FXP-XT serial communication protocol. A serial connection between the DFCP and the HSYCO SERVER is required for the integration, either directly through the server’s RS-232 port or via the RS-232 port of a supported serial to IP gateway, including the WEBS module.
Contents
Communication
Employ a DE-9 (often called DB-9) male-female RS-232 straight cable to connect the RS-232 DFCP port to the serial port on HSYCO SERVER or serial gateway. The communication baud rate can be set to 9600, 38400, 57600 or 115200 bps, according to the DFCP serial port settings. The protocol requires 8bit data, no parity, one stop bit, no flow control. A speed of 115200 bps is recommended to achieve good performance, particularly when the number of devices connected to the bus is large.

The Device Configuration Database
The systemtopo.txt file contains the list of all devices and their individual input, output and virtual data points that could be directly associated to graphic object in the Web-based user interface. This file can be filled manually or automatically by HSYCO at start-up. To enable automatic discovery and automatic generation of devices’ information in the systemtopo file, use the inputdiscovery, outputdiscovery and virtualdiscovery options in the hsyco.ini configuration file. The default behavior is to only discover devices with output data points.
This is an example of an automatically generated systemtopo.txt file:
(devices) domino.o10.1 : LIGHT ; LIGHT domino.o6.1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER domino.o7.2 : LIGHT ; LIGHT domino.o7.1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER domino.o9.2 : AUTOM ; VSHUT domino.o5.4 : LIGHT ; LIGHT domino.o9.1 : AUTOM ; VSHUT domino.o5.3 : LIGHT ; LIGHT domino.o5.2 : LIGHT ; LIGHT domino.o5.1 : LIGHT ; LIGHT
You should then manually add comments and other optional parameters:
(devices) domino.o10.1 : LIGHT ; LIGHT; main entrance light domino.o6.1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER; lobby dimmer domino.o7.2 : LIGHT ; LIGHT; kitchen workbench domino.o7.1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER; kitchen main dimmer
DFCP Virtual Data Points and Registers
The DFCP implements 2032 virtual points for binary (on/off) data and 1024 registers for positive scalar values (0-65535). All the virtual points and the registers can optionally generate I/O events. You can also write to the virtual data points and registers using the IO action in EVENTS or ioSet() method in Java. You cannot directly control the DFCP virtual data points and registers using GUI objects. To enable polling of the current state of the DFCP’s virtual data points, enable the virtualpoints options in hsyco.ini. To enable polling of the current state of the DFCP’s registers, enable the registers options in hsyco.ini. If you only have to write to virtual points or registers, enabling polling is not strictly required.
| ID | Value | R/W | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| v0.<n> | 0 | RW | virtual data point <n> off (<n>: 1-2032) |

| r0.<n> | <x> | RW | register <n> off (<n>: 0-1023) set to value <x> (<x>: 0-65535) |
DFCP Internal Clock
The DFCP module has an integrated real-time clock. You can use the clock datapoint to read the DFCP date and time, and set the DFCP clock to HSYCO’s current time.
| ID | Value | R/W | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
