Time Synchronization
The DMS-3K can be synchronized externally via IRIG-B and NTP time formats. This is used for
applying a time stamp to the digital and analog inputs synchronized to real time via GPS
synchronized time clocks.
Communications
Each DMS-3K unit has a built-in RS-232/485 Serial Port (DB9) and RJ45 Ethernet Port. The ports
can be used to retransmit the alarm status to other devices using Modbus, DNP or ASCII Protocols.
In addition, the multi-user Ethernet port can be used for time sync, networking multiple card racks
together to form a system and connect to a web browser for configuration and display of alarms and
events.
System Configuration
The DMS-3K System is configured using a WEB Browser connected to the CPU Ethernet Port. The
PC with WEB Browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc) can be connected directly to the DMS-
3K CPU or via the LAN where the DMS-3K is installed. The DMS-3K I/O Modules have switches or
jumpers for some configuration items. The configuration is flexible so that any single input or group of
inputs can operate any number of outputs configured as lamp outputs (for remote Annunciator
Display), Alarm Relay Outputs, Horn Outputs, etc. In addition, inputs can be retransmitted using
Modbus and DNP protocols.
Alarm Display and Notification
The DMS-3K WEB Browser will display the alarms as they occur graphically using an 'Annunciator
style' display and in list format showing the alarm details and timestamp. The DMS can also generate
an email for selected alarms.
