General information

Two versions of Axis T8310 control panel are integrated with Axxon PSIM: Rev01 and Rev02. The setup and operation procedure for these versions in Axxon PSIM is similar.

It is not recommended to connect control panels of both versions to Axxon PSIM at the same time to avoid incorrect operation of the system.

The control panel can be added to Axxon PSIM as a control device –  see Configuring the Control device object. In this case, events on pressing keys, changing the position of the joystick, etc. in the Event Viewer are received from the Control Device object.

    2. Other settings of this object are ignored by system because the control panel of Axis T8310 telemetry is connected to the Server using USB interface.

  3. Create the Control panel system object under the Telemetry controller object.

  4. Configure the Control panel object as described in Configuring Control panel section.
