Siemens Vanderbilt Edp
Siemens / Vanderbilt is a family of security panels compatible with the control protocol EDP (Vanderbilt/Siemens series 4000, 5000 and 6000) with firmware >= 2.3. This driver has been developed following the EDP protocol specification rev 2.2, 2012-11-12
The integration with HSYCO can be accomplished with a TCP/IP network connection.
Siemens / Vanderbilt Configuration
Login in the panel web configuration page using a Full Engineer account.
You should see something like this in the upper right corner of the web page:
Select "Configuration" then "Reporting" then "EDP". You must configure 2 different receivers, one for the command session, one for the event session.
Let's take a look in detail at the configuration of these receivers. The events receiver is configured as "Primary receiver".
Unflag "Primary receiver" for the command receiver. The "IP port" parameter must be different from the one of the event receiver. Set the "Receiver Id" to 1.
Flag "Always connected" on both the receivers. Select protocol version 2 on both. The "Receiver IP Address" is the IP address of the HSYCO server that you want to communicate with. Set the "Receiver Id" to 2.
The "Polling Time" is a very crucial parameter. In the event receiver configuration 8 seconds should be fine because every change of status is sent in asynchronous way by the panel and the polling time only represent the interval between one polling ack and the next one. In the command receiver configuration set 2 seconds, this time, by empirical methods, it's the best one to ensure the connection stability.
In Communication > Reporting > EDP > Settings this is the suggested configuration:
At the end of the configuration process switch from Engineer user to Soft Engineer mode.
HSYCO Configuration
Add a SIEMENSEDP I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:
Communication
- IP Address: Leave empty
- IP Port: Leave empty
High Availability
- Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true.
Options
| ID | Default | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| eventsport | 50000 | number | the TCP/IP port specified in the event receiver of the panel |
| commandsport | 50001 | number | the TCP/IP port specified in the command receiver of the panel |
| eventsaddress | 1 | number | the event receiver id address |
| commandsaddress | 2 | number | the command receiver id address |
| startupevents | true | true | generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase |
| false | start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system | ||
| gui | true | true | generate uisets |
| false | disable uisets | ||
| eventspolling | 8000 | number | the event receiver polling time in ms. It must be equal to the value set on the Siemens Vanderbilt device as "Polling interval" parameter. |
| commandspolling | 2000 | number | the command receiver polling time in ms. It must be equal to the value set on the Siemens Vanderbilt device as "Polling interval" parameter. |
| forcedlastzone | 1 <= n <= 9999 | number | force the driver to read the panel zones until the specified number. Default value 10000 means that this forced mode is disabled. |

Log Files
If a Vanderbilt unit is connected to HSYCO, the security.log file will be written in the same directories as the daily log files and will include the log entries received by the panel.
This file is never overwritten or deleted from HSYCO SERVER.
