HoneywellGalaxy Driver - The HoneywellGalaxyPanel

Overview

A HoneywellGalaxyPanel represents panel specific properties.

The panel is a frozen property on a HoneywellGalaxyEthernetDevice object.

Points Alarm State

This is used to indicate if the panel is in alarm or not. If any zone is in alarm this property will be true, if all zones are not in alarm it will be false.

Alarm Source Info

This is used for alarms that are raised by unsolicited messages sent from the Galaxy Panel to the driver.

Remote Services Pin

The remote services pin is used by the driver to logon to the panel. The default value for the pin is 543210. This may be changed by the engineer using the keypad connected to the panel. Consult the vendor documentation for further details.

Logged on to Galaxy

This property will be true if communication with the panel is working, false otherwise. The property can be false due to a number of reasons - the remote services pin may be incorrect, or cabling between the Niagara station and the panel may be disconnected, or the panel may simply be switched off.

Panel Version

This property shows the version of the firmware in the panel. It is read from the panel each time the drivers pings the panel. NOTE: some older ethernet boards do not support this command, in this case the field may contain the value "<command failed>".

Time and Date

This property shows the current time and date, as reported by the panel. This is updated each time the driver pings the panel. The property is also updated when you set the time and date using the device level Set Time and Date Action.

User Profiles

This property tree shows the values for any user profiles that have been read from the panel. To read a user profile from the panel right click on the device object and select Read Panel Version from the context menu, then enter the id of the user profile that you wish to read. Consult the vendor documentation for a list of user ids. User profiles may also be edited via this property tree.

Switch 3 Pin 8

This property for most use cases can be left at false. It directly relates to the these variant's of the Galaxy panel.

If Switch 3/Pin 8 is at the ON position on the Galaxy's main panel, before the Galaxy DIMENSION* is powered up, then the on-board RIO addresses change slightly. If this switch has been set to ON, this property (Switch3pin8) must be modified to true. It is recommended to do a station save after updating this setting.
