Connecting VIS3I-328 to Visilynx 2 nodes using PCCON

Siemens Building Technologies
Fire Safety & Security Products
From software version 2.24, VIS3I-328 units can control a Visilynx 2 matrix as if it
were a Visilynx 3 node, using the PCCON protocol, but with limited functionality as
follows:
Function
Level of Support
Keyboard node login
Supported, but the Visilynx 2 node name is always Switcher
Camera switching
Supported, but Visilynx 2 camera names are fixed as Camera 1, Camera 2
etc.
Camera control
Supported, obeying user access rights configured at Visilynx 2
VCR and MPX control
Supported
Alarm handling
Not supported – alarms cannot be passed between Visilynx 2 and 3
Multi-hop networking
Not supported – Visilynx 2 cannot be a hop node
Network functions supported by a Visilynx 2 node
Tab. 27
You cannot set the network node address of a Visilynx 2 node by address
switches, but instead it is determined by the number of the serial port at the
VIS3I-328 configured to control it. Also, the Visilynx 2 node has no network
configuration, so the monitors used as trunk outputs are determined by the
neighbour node trunk numbers configured at VIS3I-328.

Protocol
PCCON2/3 Remote Control. The use
of channel 2 sets the address of the
Visilynx 2 node to 2. Other PCCON
network channels can be used for
this also. Line settings are 9600, 8,
e, 1.
Function
VCR or MPX Control Output
Protocol
As required. A channel must be
configured at VIS3I-328 for every
Visilynx 2 VCR or MPX, even though
the local channel will not be used.
Internal VIS3I-328 channels 11 to 13
can be used for this.
