This section of the System Design Guide provides descriptive
operational overviews of the DSX Family of Integration Products.
DSX-Soft I/O is an open ended universal translator. It will map
Inputs and Outputs of other systems to Virtual Inputs and Outputs in
the WinDSX System. This allows the full DSX feature set to be used
with those virtual points such as Linking, Alarm reporting, Maps,
Automatic and Manual Control and Full Visibility. High Level
Elevator Control with OTIS or KONE elevators is also a function of
DSX-Soft I/O. Click here for more about Soft I/O.
NVR/DVRs can now be integrated with WinDSX. This integration allows
stored and live video from a DVR/NVR to be accessed within the DSX
software. All video is transmitted across a Local Area Network
connection. Click here for more about DVR Integration.
PC Master is a program that is designed to allow a PC to perform the
polling and communications duties normally handled by the master
controller. The system Comm Server communicates to PC Master and PC
Master then communicates to all Slave Controllers via TCP/IP. Each
slave controller or group of slave controllers have a DSX-LAN serial
server for network connectivity. Click here for more about PC
Master.
EventCast is a program that polls the Comm Server PC for events and
routes them to a serial port or an IP address. This is a great
integration tool where the system history collected by the DSX
Software can be routed to another system for storage, review, and
manipulation. Click here for more about EventCast.
The DSX DataBase Management API is a document that outlines the use
of the DSX Markup Language which allows for the Card Holders to be
added, deleted and maintained from another system without
compromising the integrity of the database.
