Attention!

Attention! Before one starts using a control panel or a PTZ device it is necessary to read the list of integrated devices and protocols at AxxonSoft's official website. If the connected device is not in the list, then its operation is not guaranteed

PTZ device and control panel are connected to the Server via a vacant serial port (COM) (RS-232 interface).

As a rule, PTZ devices use RS-422 or RS-485 interfaces. A PTZ device is connected to a COM port of the Server with RS-232 interface via RS-422 converter (RS-485) -> RS-232.

A PTZ device uses RS-422/RS-485 based on a 4-wires circuit (2 wires for receiving and 2 wires for transmission). To control PTZ devices in Axxon PSIM™, only 2 wires are used (transmitting data from the Server to the PTZ device). The T+ and T- contacts of the converter are connected to the R+ and R- contacts of the PTZ device.

The control panel is connected via converter RS-422 (RS-485) -> RS-232. Only two wires, connected to the Server, are used to control PTZ devices via control panel in Axxon PSIM™.

A PTZ device and control panel controlling this PTZ device are to be connected to one Server.

Detailed information on how to connect PTZ devices and control panels is given in the documentation accompanying the corresponding devices and converters. An example of controlling PTZ devices using the control panel is given in the PTZ configuration section.
