Alarm Control Panel Direct Control via Data Bus or Serial Port

Alarm Control Panel Direct Control via Data Bus or Serial Port

Communication with the Alarm Control Panel via Data Bus or Serial Port, How is it Possible?

In a traditional setup, universal communicators are typically connected to the alarm’s telephone line (TIP-RING). Trikdis specialized communicators (alarm communicators) are uniquely capable of connecting to the internal communication channel of the alarm system. Depending on the manufacturer, this can be achieved in two ways:

  • The Trikdis communicator must be connected to a data bus, for example, with DSC, Honeywell, CROW, etc.,
  • With Paradox and Texecom panels, the serial port can be used.

The essence of the technology is that the connected Trikdis communicator knows the language of the alarm control panel and can interpret the messages sent to it (unidirectional communication). Just like the keypads or other peripherals, the communicator also receives and understands the events sent by the system and will forward them to the client and/or central monitoring as per the settings.

What are the advantages?

  • Simpler than the traditional TIP RING connection
  • More reliable
  • Faster to install
  • Faster communication

Direct Control

Direct control has additional advantages. Beyond the above, the communicator not only receives events from the panel for forwarding, but some of the functions available on the keypad are also accessible, meaning this is a bidirectional communication.

Additional advantages of direct control

  • The entire system or any partition can be armed or disarmed using the user code (the same one used on the keypad)
  • Automatic partition and zone mapping
  • Detection of mapped zone status
    (A frequent question, but this does not mean there is constant status display in the user app, the information on the zone status is only available when an event occurs and the app updates)
  • Zone bypass
  • The outputs remain available for other control – there is no need to wire an output as a key switch for arming/disarming, it is done directly via the data bus or serial port

What is this solution not capable of?

  • The PGM outputs cannot be controlled on the alarm control panel
  • The alarm control panel cannot be programmed remotely or updated (TRIKDIS devices can be updated)

Which Trikdis communicators are capable of the above functions?

Alarm control panels connectable via data bus or serial port

Die Trikdis E16, G16, GT, GT+, GET are compatible with all the alarm control panels listed below . The main advantage of these specialized Trikdis communicators is that events are transmitted via the data bus or serial port.

Alarm control panels marked in blue can be controlled directly (arming/disarming) via the serial port or data bus, without any additional wiring.

Alarm control panels marked in black receive events via the data bus or serial port , but require key switch zones and additional wiring for full control of the alarm system .

What smart solutions can be utilized with Trikdis communicators?

Depending on the device, Trikdis smart communicators and Trikdis smart alarm control panels have one or more outputs. These outputs can be used for control: gate or garage door opening, heating, irrigation, lighting control, etc. These can be enhanced with some sensors, such as light, liquid level, temperature sensors, to create a simpler smart home system, where the communicator’s input can be used as feedback (e.g., if the gate or garage door is open).
