Inim

Inim SmartLiving 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 INIM 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 rate57600
Data bits8
Stop bit1
Parityeven
Flow controlnone

HSYCO Configuration

Add an INIM 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.

inim.ini

The inim.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 SmartLiving 515 is shown in the following diagram:

Inim Configuration 1

And here is the default configuration for SmartLiving 1050 and 10100 (for the 10100 model this diagram must be extended to 100 terminals and 40 expanders):

Inim Configuration 2

If the inim.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 SmartLiving1050:

Inim Configuration 1

The corresponding configuration in inim.ini, assuming that the ID of the I/O Server is "inm", would be the following:

inm.t1 = z1
inm.t2 = z2
inm.t3 = z3
inm.t4 = z4
inm.t5 = z5
inm.t6 = z6,o6
inm.t7 = z7d
inm.t8 = z8d
inm.t9 = z9d

inm.e1.t1 = o10
inm.e1.t2 = z11d
inm.e1.t3 = o12

inm.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 Inim Configuration 4, it should be assigned the corresponding zone number (e.g. z1).

If the terminal is configured as double zone Inim Configuration 5, 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 Inim Configuration 6, specify the corresponding output number (e.g. o10), while if the terminal is configured as an IO Inim Configuration 7, 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:

inm.t4 = z4 = door
inm.t5 = z5 = corridor
inm.t6 = z6, o6 = alarm point
inm.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.

N.B. SmartLiving 515 panels have only 5 terminals on the board and the indexing of zones and outputs skips the numbers from 6 to 10 as we can see from the image above. But, from tests conducted on different configurations, sometimes these indexes are actually used, thus refinements on the configuration in inim.ini must be applied to map the terminals with the correct zone or output number.

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:

NameParamAction
digit{0 ... 9}append the specified digit to the entered user code
cdelete 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:

IDDescription
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.

Inim 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:

Inim UI Object 1 Inim UI Object 1 Inim UI Object 1

The Inim object is listed in the Project Editor’s new object list only when at least one Inim I/O Server is defined.

Log Files

A permanent detailed record of all the INIM 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 INIM I/O Server are saved in the daily message.log files.
