Revision 1.4
1.3 The Bosch Alarm Panel from a Galaxy perspective
Bosch has alarm inputs called “points” at the panel wiring terminals. Refer to Bosch product manual.
(Points can be defined in System Galaxy to reflect the true alarm panel programming.)
Several points can be configured to represent an “Area”. Refer to Bosch product manual for details.
(Areas can be defined in System Galaxy to reflect the true alarm panel programming.)
The alarm panel installer will program the points and areas at the alarm panel when the Alarm
System is installed. System Galaxy software does not support the panel-level programming. Once
the panel is programmed System Galaxy should be configured in to match.
The panel supports over 200 user pass codes. Refer to Bosch product manual for details. System
Galaxy can be used to manage pass codes (i.e. add codes to the panel and link codes to
cardholders).
The panel sends only
real-time status messages (every few seconds) to System Galaxy provided the
PC connection to the panel is established and provided the correct GCS Services are running. The
rate that messages are sent is a programmable value at the panel. Refer to Bosch product manual
for details. The alarm panel does not buffer and resend off-line events to System Galaxy.
1.4 How System Galaxy communicates with the Alarm Panel
System Galaxy uses GCS Services to communicate with the Alarm Panel.
• See section 1.5 for an overview of the GCS Services;
• See section 8 for setting up and starting the GCS Alarm Panel Service;
• find in-depth information on Managing GCS Services in the Main Software Manual for SG-7.
SG has the ability to monitor the condition of the alarm points (alarm conditions):
1. The Bosch Panel sends
real-time status updates to SG every 1-2 seconds. This is an
adjustable value at the panel. Bosch product manuals cover the programming of the panel.
2. The
real-time updates include the following:
• the status of all alarm points (secure/on or unsecure/off)
• the status of all areas (arm/disarm)
• panel-level alarms such as low battery and AC failure
3. Alarm History Report available in SG for “online” status messages; online status messages
are defined as the alarm panel events that occur when the panel is connected and
communicating with System Galaxy.
4. The Bosch panel does not send “off-line” status messages to SG upon reconnect. Offline
messages are defined as alarm panel events that occurred while disconnected from System
Galaxy.
SG has the ability to send commands from System Galaxy to the alarm panel:
1. arm and disarm entire panel
2. arm and disarm individual areas
3. bypass or unbypass individual alarm points (enable/disable the point)
Ability to configure keypad “user codes” and download to the panel.
These codes are user
codes to the alarm system.
