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.
Contents
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. It is mandatory to set the "Resynch. Time" to 0 under the Connection tab of the IBOX configuration tool.
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)
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 | ||
| unitid | 1 | > 0 | MODBUS unit ID of the ESSER panel |
| pollingtime | 2000 | 1000 >= n, n <= 20000 | the data polling interval, in milliseconds. |
| csvseparator | semicolon | comma | use "," as separator for the I/O Server .csv configuration file |
| semicolon | use ";" as separator for the I/O Server .csv configuration file |
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. This file could be easily created by copy and paste in Excel the modbus configuration table of IBOX
The name syntax of each file must be the following: "<id of I/O server>.csv" For example, if the id of the I/O Server is "esser1", the csv file must be named "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:
#;Panel;Zona/Ctrl/Loop;Detector;EDP type;Signal;AddMB;I/O;Value 1;1;;;1-P;Entrance 0-Power Supply Fault;1;0-In;0 2;1;121;;2-L;Loop 1 Zone A;11;2-I/O;0 3;1;101;;4-Z;Zone A First Floor;12;2-I/O;0 4;1;100;1;5-D;Detector Laundry 1.0.079;50;2-I/O;0
All the rows that are not starting with a number will be ignored. The indexes of the first column of each row must be numeric and consecutive, for example if the first index is 11 then the next must be 12 and so on until the last index is reached.
