The special mode of Monitoring PSIM operation with ACFA PSIM allows to provide access to the object with the installed Agent Of of Control using the user's access card, and to monitor the object status on the Server Of Control. This operating mode is relevant if the Monitoring PSIM and ACFA PSIM are not combined into a single system with a distributed architecture.

Configuring the special mode of Monitoring PSIM operation with ACFA PSIM on the Server

...

of Control side

The special mode of Monitoring PSIM operation with ACFA PSIM is configured on the Server Of of Control side as follows:

1. Create an AccessByCardEnable string registry key and set 1 as its value (for details, see Registry keys reference guide, for more information about working with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry).
2. Create the necessary number of access levels, which include one or more Partitions Of of Control of the corresponding Agent Of of Control objects, the access to which should be obtained. Do it as dollows:
   
   1. In the System Settings dialog box, go to the Programming tab (1).
      
   2. In the object tree, create an Access Level object (2) on the basis of the Access Levels object.
   3. On the settings panel of this object, specify one or more access points to which the Partitions Of of Control on Server Of of Control correspond (3).
   4. Click Apply (4).

3. Create the necessary number of users who will be able to access objects, and assign an access card and access level to each user. Do it as dollows:

   1. In the System Settings dialog box, go to the Users tab (1).

      

   2. In the object tree, create a Department object (2), and then create a User object (3) on its basis.
   3. On the settings panel of the User object, specify the following parameters:
   1. In the field (4) enter the last name of the user.
   2. In the Name field (5), enter the first name of the user.
   3. In the Patronymic field (6), enter the middle name of the user.
   4. In the Phone field (7), enter the phone number of the user.
   5. In the Object code field (8), enter the room code.

   6. In the Permanent card field (9) enter the card number.

      Note
      title Attention!
      Both Object code and Permanent card fields should be filled in.

      
      

   7. If necessary, in the Valid till field (10), specify the date upon which access to the object will be restricted.

   8. Go to the Access Levels tab (11) and assign a previously created access level to the user (see step 2).
      
      

   9. Click Apply (1112).

   Info
   title Note
   Similar actions can also be performed using the Access Manager module, which is part of the ACFA PSIM software package (see Working with the Access Manager software module).

Configuring the special mode of Monitoring PSIM operation with ACFA PSIM on the Agent

...

of Control side

The special mode of Monitoring PSIM operation with ACFA PSIM is configured on the Agent Of of Control side as follows:

1. Create an AccessByCardEnable string registry key and set 1 as its value (for details, see Registry keys reference guide, for more information about working with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry).

2. Install ACFA PSIM (see ACFA PSIM Installation Guide).

   Note
   title Attention!
   The following is an example of configuring the interaction between the Monitoring PSIM and the Apollo integration module, which is part of the ACFA PSIM software package. The configuration guide for the Apollo integration module is available in the documentation for ACFA PSIM. Instead of the Apollo integration module, you can use any other integration module that supports user entry into the controller.

   
   

3. Configure the Apollo integration module.

4. In the System Settings dialog box, go to the Programming tab (1).

   

5. To transfer the user data from the Server Of of Control side to the Agent Of of Control side, it is necessary to create script №1 in the object tree on the basis of the Scripts object (2) by copying the contents of an example of this script (see Sample script for configuring the interaction between the Monitoring PSIM and the Apollo integration module).

6. To monitor the object status on the Server Of Control side, it is necessary to configure the alarm group (see Configuring alarms for Monitoring PSIM the object state on the Agent Of of Control side). As a result of this configuration, the script №2 will be created.

   Note
   title Attention!
   If an integration module other than Apollo is used, it is necessary to modify the script examples for the corresponding integration module.

   
   

   Info
   title Note
   For more information on creating scripts, see Programming Guide (JScript).

   
   

7. Click Apply (3).

Configuring the special mode of Monitoring PSIM operation with ACFA PSIM on the Agent Of of Control side is complete.

...

At startup, and then every 15 minutes, Agent Of of Control sends the hash of existing users to Server Of of Control. Initially, there are no such users. At startup, Server Of of Control receives the hash of all objects including users from the Axxon PSIM core, and puts them in a list that is updated if objects are edited or deleted. Server Of of Control compares the user hash received from Agent Of of Control with the value from the list and, if there is a mismatch, requests new data, and then transfers it to Agent Of of Control. Agent Of of Control, upon receiving this data (hash + configuration), updates the information about the users and generates the SPR_DATA_UPDATED event, which is processed in script №1. As a result, the users with the right to access the corresponding Agent Of of Control will be loaded into the memory of the Apollo controller and will be able to access the object upon presenting of their access card.

Also at startup, and then every 15 minutes, Agent Of of Control sends a GET_OBJECT_STATE event to the Axxon PSIM core. This event is processed in script №2, which generates an OBJECT_STATE_INFO event with the object status in the state field and the user's access card number used when arming/disarming the object in the card field. When arming an object using the user's access card, this script generates an OBJ_ARM event (alarm type: Armed object). When disarming an object using the user's access card, the same script generates the OBJ_DISARM event (alarm type: Attention! Service personnel are working!) and activates a long alarm Object disarmed.

As a result, when the access to an object is received, the access card number and the full name of the user who gained the access is displayed in the Event log as an additional information (see Event log).
