Alarms

Overview

Alarm Form Completion

Alarms

An alarm is a notification that something has happened within SP. An alarm occurs when a defined

device, such as a digital input changes to a state defined as the alarm state. For example, if a digital input

alarm state is defined as Open in the Active State, then an alarm occurs when the state changes to

Open. Alarms can also be used for nonmicro related events such as CCTV alarms. Most alarms are tied

to digital output points associated with devices such as switches and motion detectors.

Not all alarms will be present at the same time, and are determined by the boards installed in the

micro.

When you set up your micro, some alarms are automatically set up for you. The Alarm Form is used to

modify an alarm record. However, alarms for digital inputs must be set up manually using the Digital Input

Form.

represents the point or device number.

Example: 0001-1-01 Tamper

This tamper alarm is on micro 1, board 1, alarm 1. To change this description, select and enter text over

the existing text and save the record. It is recommended that you keep the mmmm-b-pp prefix in each

alarm displayed to aid in locating the alarm points on the physical hardware.

Example Failover Alarm: BCTTOKYO Failover Alarm

A failover alarm is created when backup clients are assigned to the default client computer. The alarm

record displays the default client computer name as part of the description. This failover alarm indicates

the default client as BCTTOKYO. If the description indicates Region Failover Alarm, the name of

the Regional Database Server is included in the description.

Alarm descriptions coming into Secure Perfect from an API can be ambiguous, and the source of the

alarm point may be unclear. It is recommended that you rename API alarm points to correspond to the

actual physical point, to assist in processing and acknowledging when an alarm displays on the Alarm

Monitor.Facility

A facility can be assigned for the alarm from the drop-down list of available facilities for assignment by

Elevator Management

Overview

Reference Topics:

Elevator Form

Elevators

The first step in configuring elevator control is setting up floors. The Floor Form of the Administration

menu allows you to set up floors.

Now, you can configure the elevator records. You will use the Elevator Form to configure elevator

records. Here, you select the method of elevator control, the readers, and the floors that will be used. You

can set a reader for elevator control using this form only. When you return to the Reader Form and

display a corresponding reader record, you will notice that all other options in the Logical Type section

are not available.

Elevator control does not span micros. This means the reader, digital outputs, and digital inputs (if

applicable) must be on the same micro.

The type of boards you want to use in your dedicated micro (DO only or a combination of DO and DI

boards) determines the number of floors available. After installing the CPU board, the

Power/Communication board, and at least one reader board, there are four slots available that can be

used for digital input boards or a combination of digital input boards and digital output boards.

Methods of Elevator Control

There are three methods of implementing elevator control:

No Floor Tracking Method

With this method, you define the floors available and define a digital output for each floor. Only digital

outputs provided by the 16 DO board can be used. In addition, each DO can by used in only one

elevator and mapped to only one floor. The number of floors is limited by the number of 16 DO boards

that can be placed in the micro; the maximum is four. Therefore, the maximum number of floors

available is 64 (4 boards x 16 DOs = 64 DOs).

Floor Tracking by Input

Define the floors available, then define a digital input and digital output for each floor. The digital

inputs are used for floor selection. Only digital inputs provided by the 20 DI board can be used for floor

selection and each digital input can by used for only one elevator and mapped to only one floor. The

digital outputs are used to control where the elevator moves. Only digital outputs provided by the 16

DO board can be used, and each digital output can only be used in one elevator and mapped to one

floor. Using this method, a maximum of 32 floors can be supported (2 boards x 16 DOs = 32 DOs).

Floor Tracking by Keypad

Define the floors available and define a digital output for each floor. The reader’s keypad is used to

select the desired floor. Only digital outputs provided by the 16 DO board can be used. In addition,

each DO can be used in only one floor. The number of floors is limited by the number of 16 DO boards

that can be placed in the micro; the maximum if four. Therefore, the maximum number of floors

available is 64 (4 boards x 16 DOs = 64 DOs).

Floor Tab of Access Right Form

On the Personnel menu, select Access Right to open the Access Right Form, Floor tab to assign access

rights to elevators and floors. Select from the Available list those elevators you want to use with the form.

The elevators that display in this list are those that are set up on the Elevator Form. Floors and DOs can

be assigned an access right to define which floors a person can access and what DOs a person can

trigger with a valid badge.

Records Generation

Micros

Micro records can be created within Secure Perfect without having the micros attached and

configured. Additional device records can be configured after creating micro records.

Micros control access through the use of devices such as badge readers, alarm points, and output points

physically wired to the micro, which is then connected to the host by one of the following methods:

1. Directly

2. Using RS-232 cabling through a modem

3. Through a network

Secure Perfect provides a micro auto-configuration feature, allowing you to set up the database with the

exact board configuration that you selected during the micro configuration process. When you create a

micro record, only those records for the associated devices (readers, alarms, alarm groups, and digital

outputs) supported by the micro’s configuration are created. The auto-configuration feature anticipates

your configuration requirements. For example, the Micro/PX2000 is a single-board microcontroller. Other

boards do not display for selection, as shown in the image below. This board address is 2.

Secure Perfect 6.1.1 User Manual 48

In this example, notice the DI records created automatically when the Micro/PX2000 record was saved.

The Micro Form contains a combination of tabs. The settings selected on the Micro Definition tab

determine which tabs display.

Note that any time a badge that is not in a micro is presented to a reader, it is reported as unknown and

the host sends the badge to the micro. This happens regardless of the Badge Loading option. The micros

can store only a limited number of badges. When a previously unknown badge is sent to a micro whose

badge capacity is exceeded, the micro randomly chooses a badge to delete to make room for the new

badge. The badge is deleted from the micro but not from the Secure Perfect system.

Readers Form

Readers are the devices that interpret the encoded numbers on badges. Readers are usually located

near doors or gates that the system controls. Badges are presented to the readers in order to gain

access through a door.

When a micro record is created, reader records are also created. The number of records depends on the

micro you configure and the reader boards that the micro contains. The reader is automatically enabled

as Online and Active, and configured to accept badge transactions when a reader record is created. The

number of active readers counts against your reader limit. For example, if your license key allows the use

of 128 readers, you may have only 128 readers marked as active.

When the total of all reader records equals the maximum number of active readers allowed by your

license, you will receive a warning message.

The reader record controls both the physical reader and how the door locks and unlocks. See your micro

and reader installation manual for information on how to connect readers to a micro. Use the Reader

Form to modify the reader configuration.
