1. Secutron Modul-R driver Description
The Se utron Modul-R driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from a Client and a Server
panel on a single point to point network over RS-232 using Se utron Modul-R proto ol.
The proto ol is stri tly ommand/response with the Client polling a Server devi e. A Server devi e an
report the generation and learing of alarms to the polling Client. One panel an be onne ted per
FieldServer port. The driver supports networked panels onne ted to a single port. The server driver
only supports 10 panels due to memory limitations. A Server panel an onsist of up to 100 ir uits.
Whan an alarm is generated, a bit is set and when the alarm is leared, the bit is leared. The panel
number is identified by the Node_ID in the onfiguration file.

4. Configuring the FieldServer as a Secutron Modul-R driver Client
For a detailed dis ussion on FieldServer onfiguration, please refer to the FieldServer Configuration
Manual. The information that follows des ribes how to expand upon the fa tory defaults provided in the
onfiguration files in luded with the FieldServer (See “. sv” files on the provided with the FieldServer).
This se tion do uments and des ribes the parameters ne essary for onfiguring the FieldServer to
ommuni ate with Se utron Modul-R panels.
The onfiguration file tells the FieldServer about its interfa es, and the routing of data required. In order
to enable the FieldServer for Se utron Modul-R driver ommuni ations, the driver independent
FieldServer buffers need to be de lared in the “Data Arrays” se tion, the destination devi e addresses
need to be de lared in the “Client Side Nodes” se tion, and the data required from the Servers needs to
be mapped in the “Client Side Map Des riptors” se tion. Details on how to do this an be found below.
Note that in the tables, * indi ates an optional parameter, with the bold legal value being the default.

Appendix A. Advanced Topics
Appendix A.1. Event Function or Condition Codes
When the Client driver re eives an event from the panel, it stores the event’s fun tion or ondition
ode in the Se utron_Type=fun tion Map Des riptor’s Data Array at the devi e number’s offset,
Example:
Devi e=3 on Cir uit=1 goes into alarm – the Panel reports an event with fun tion ode A (De imal 65)
The Map Des riptor Se utron_Type=devi e, Se utron_Cir uit=1 will set a bit and store the event
fun tion ode A (De imal 65) at offset 3 in the Map Des riptors’ Data Array.
The Se utron_Type=devi e Map Des riptors will set a bit if any of the events listed below o ur on
that ir uit or zone. The bit will be leared if the panel reports the event as leared.
The full list of event fun tion odes are:
ASCII value Decimal Meaning
A
65 Alarm
B 66 Bypass
C 67 Comlink
D 68 Dupli ate Addressable Devi e
E 69 Maintenan e Alert
G 71 Ground Fault
H 72 Hot Key Pressed
I 73 Illegal Addressable Devi e
J 74 Swit h
M 77 Missing Addressable Devi e
N 78 Non-Fire/Non-Reporting
P 80 Pull Station Alarm

Appendix A.2. Panel Circuit or Zone numbers
The panel groups events under ir uit or zone numbers. When setting up a Client onfiguration it is
ne essary to reate Map Des riptors to trap the events from the zones or ir uits you want to see
data from.
If an event is re eived that has no orresponding Map Des riptor defined, this will be reported on the
RuiNet E s reen. This is a useful onfiguration tool to ensure that all required data is stored.

Appendix A.3. Panel Power-up, Restarts and Resets
When the panel powers up or is restarted it will send an event on zone/ ir uit 69 devi e 0.
When the panel is reset from the Hot Keys on the front panel, it will send an event on zone/ ir uit 90,
devi e 9.
The Client driver will lear all the Se utron_Type=devi e and Se utron_Type=fun tion Data Arrays
when it traps any of these 2 events, provided the ir uit 69 and 90 Map Des riptors have been set up
as per the example Map Des riptors under the Client Side onfiguration instru tions.
Other events for Cir uits 69 and 90 are shown below for whi h a bit will be set in the

Appendix A.4. Driver Messages, Error Messages and Optional Map Descriptors
The Client driver will report all events it re eives from the panel on the RuiNet F s reen.
If an event is re eived that has no orresponding Map Des riptor defined, this will be reported on the
RuiNet E s reen. This is a useful onfiguration tool to ensure that all required data is stored.
