Hesa
Hesa Quaranta panels are multi-area intrusion detection systems.
The integration with HSYCO can be accomplished via direct control through the RS-232 port on the board.
The HESA I/O Server in HSYCO supports the integration of more than one unit within the same HSYCO interface.
Communication
Employ a female-female RS-232 crossed cable to connect the panel directly to HSYCO or to an Ethernet/RS-232 gateway.
RS-232 parameters:
| Baud rate | 115200 (newer models) |
| 57600 (older models) | |
| Data bits | 8 |
| Stop bit | 1 |
| Parity | even |
| Flow control | none |
HSYCO Configuration
Add a HESA I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:
Communication
- Comm ID: select the comm port the device is connected to.
High Availability
- Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true.

hesa.ini
The hesa.ini file is a specific configuration file located in the root directory.
This file is required to provide the I/O Server with the mapping between the board terminals and the respective zones or outputs when a configuration different from the default one is used.
The default configuration for the Hesa Q15 is shown in the following diagram:
And here is the default configuration for Hesa Q50 and Q100 (for the Q100 model this diagram must be extended to 100 terminals and 40 expanders):
If the hesa.ini file is not created or it does not contain specifications for our I/O server, then the above configurations are used.
If, on the other hand, you are using a custom configuration, then, for each used terminal of the panel, expanders, and keypads you must specify its configuration.
For instance, consider the following configuration on a Q50:
The corresponding configuration in hesa.ini, assuming that the ID of the I/O Server is "hsa", would be the following:
hsa.t1 = z1
hsa.t2 = z2
hsa.t3 = z3
hsa.t4 = z4
hsa.t5 = z5
hsa.t6 = z6,o6
hsa.t7 = z7d
hsa.t8 = z8d
hsa.t9 = z9d
hsa.e1.t1 = o10
hsa.e1.t2 = z11d
hsa.e1.t3 = o12
hsa.k1.t1 = z13
Terminals on the panel itself are referred to using the notation <ioserver_id>.t<n> where <n> is the number of the board terminal from left to right.
Terminals on expanders are identified by the string <ioserver_id>.e<m>.t<n> where <m> is the expander number and <n> the terminal number on the expander board. Finally,
the syntax <ioserver_id>.k<m>.t<n> is used to identify terminals on keyboards.
When a terminal is configured as a simple zone 
, it should be assigned the corresponding zone number (e.g. z1).
If the terminal is configured as double zone 
then append d to the zone id (e.g. z7d). This configuration allows to have two zones connected to the same terminal, thus the I/O Server will handle these two zones independently: the notation z<n> will identify datapoints related to base zones, while z<n>d identifies double zones.
If the terminal correspond to an output 
specify the corresponding output number (e.g. o10), while if the terminal is configured as an IO 
then it will be seen as a zone as well as an output, so specify both of them (e.g. z6,o6).
Further, it is possible to assign a name to a zone terminal to be displayed in the user interface by adding it at the end of the line after an additional =. For instance:
hsa.t4 = z4 = door
hsa.t5 = z5 = corridor
hsa.t6 = z6, o6 = alarm point
hsa.e1.t2 = z11d = room 1, room 2
As you can see from the last line, when referring to a double zone you can specify two different names separated by a comma.

To perform any of the above operations it is necessary to enter the user code first. To enter the user code through the user interface use [[User|user buttons]] to create a virtual keypad and assign them name and param values according to this table:
| Name | Param | Action |
|---|---|---|
| digit | {0 ... 9} | append the specified digit to the entered user code |
| c | delete the last entered digit |
To visualize the number of entered digits use up to 6 [[Text|text objects]] (depending on the number of digits used for user codes) and set their IDs to:
| ID | Description |
|---|---|
| pin.<n> (0 ≤ <n> ≤ 5) | shows the character '*' when the corresponding digit has been entered, shows '_' otherwise |
The entered code will be cleared after a short period of inactivity.
Hesa UI Object
The user interface for the control and supervision of one area of the system, the zones and the visualization of the security log:
The Hesa object is listed in the Project Editor’s new object list only when at least one HESA I/O Server is defined.
Parameters
- id - the id assigned to the HESA I/O Server in hsyco.ini.
- area - the number of the area to be addressed. Supports
- pos - the object’s position. Use the pixels or rows and columns coordinates format.
Log Files
A permanent detailed record of all the Hesa log messages is saved in a file called security.log in the logs/YYYY directory for the current year. This file is never overwritten or deleted by HSYCO.
Other information related to the HESA I/O Server are saved in the daily message.log files.
