Interface Description
IGSS32 offers an interface for connection to AI800 equipment using TeleDanmark Alarmnet (Tekniknet) as network provider.
The AI800 equipment – typically used for monitoring and control of remote pumpstations – is connected to AlarmNet as AU terminals. IGSS32 is connected to AlarmNet as VBC equipment.
Virtual connections using AlarmNet are supervised by Tele Danmark as network operator, thus making AlarmNet connections more reliable and safe than normal telephone connections.
All network alarms (network errors, power failures etc.) are automatically detected by Alarmnet and passed to the IGSS alarm application providing the operator precise information about network status.
The special AI800 protocol is running on top of the AlarmNet protocol. This protocol enables IGSS32 to write commands to AI800 registers and to receive events messages from the AI800. Thus IGSS32 do not send poll messages to AI800.
