1.Secutron Modul-R driver Description

The Secutron Modul-R driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from a Client and a Server panel on a single point to point network over RS-232 using Secutron Modul-R protocol.

The protocol is strictly command/response with the Client polling a Server device. A Server device can report the generation and clearing of alarms to the polling Client. One panel can be connected per FieldServer port. The driver supports networked panels connected to a single port. The server driver only supports 10 panels due to memory limitations. A Server panel can consist of up to 100 circuits.

Whan an alarm is generated, a bit is set and when the alarm is cleared, the bit is cleared. The panel number is identified by the Node_ID in the configuration file.
