HoneywellGalaxy Driver - The HoneywellGalaxyDevice
Overview
A HoneywellGalaxyDevice represents a single Honeywell Galaxy Device.
The device is a frozen property on either a HoneywellGalaxyEthernetNetwork
or a HoneywellGalaxySerialNetwork object.
Points Folder
The points folder is used to hold points for the device. Use the standard
point discovery mechanism to discover and add points to the station.
Panel Folder
The panel folder is used hold properties that are specific to a panel
such as the remote services pin, panel version, time and date, and
user profiles.
Device Level Actions
A number of protocol commands exist that do not map cleanly onto the idea of a Point.
These are implemented as Device Level Actions instead.
There are a number device level actions implemented by this driver:
- Ping can be used to determine if a device is online or offline. Ping is
implemented using the PIN command to logon to the device.
The driver framework pings each device by default every five minutes. You can change
the ping interval by adjusting properties at the Network level. If you
want to ping a device immediately the right click on the device and select
Actions->Ping from the contect menu. The device will be coloured
white if it is online, otherwise it will be coloured yellow if it did
not reply to the command.
- The ping status is recorded at the HoneywellGalaxyDevice level. If you wish
to display this status on a graphical page you need to display the value of the
Device->Health->Alarm slot.
- When a device is offline any points read from that device will have their state change to
Stale until the device returns to the online state.
- Read Panel Version Action can be used to read the version
string from the panel. NOTE: some earlier ethernet boards do not support
this command, in which case the version string will be set to Command Failed.
- Read Time and Date Action can be used to read the current
time and date from the panel. This action is automatically performed whenever
the ping action is invoked.
- Set Time and Date Action can be used to set the time and
date on the panel to match the system time and date on the Niagara platform.
- Set All Groups Action can be used to Unset,
Set, Part Set, System Reset,
Abort Set or Force Set the panel.
- Read User Profile Action can be used to read user profiles
from the panel to allow them to be studied or edited.
