GSM-DSA Gateway Server with embedded DGLUX5
General description
Vector GSM-DSA is a programmable HMI-Server
with fully embedded DGLUX5. It features multiple
protocols, uses flash memory and runs on Linux on
a DSA framework.
The GSM-DSA features a 1.2 GHz 64-bit quad-core
ARMv8 CPU with an 802.11n wireless LAN, 1 GB
RAM and 4 USB ports.
Programming is browser based, drag and drop and
easy to learn.
Meanwhile it also provides advanced functionality
such as supervision, data logging, alarming,
scheduling and network management functions
with internet connectivity and web-serving
capabilities.
Application / Operational area
The Vector GSM-DSA is designed as a high power server for connection to Ethernet bus systems.
The device is designed for control and regulation of building services. Via the integrated Ethernet bus system, the
integration in modern buildings is used efficiently in central as well as in decentralized information focuses. Across the
broad range of connectable Vector communicating devices, the scalable controllers can be extended at any time
concerning the individual project requirements.
About the free programmability a maximum of flexibility and comfort is guaranteed. As a result, the projects are ideally
suited to the particular requirements both in the modernization of existing installations as well as for implementing
current and future automation projects.
DGLUX5
DGLUX5 is a modern toolset to design real-time, data-driven applications and dashboards with drag and drop
configuration. It runs on a browser and enables faster communication through real-time, data-driven dashboards for web,
desktop and mobile devices. It is cost effective because, there is no special software or tool needed, no PC required on
site and no certification classes necessary.
Licensing
Licensing is based solely on data being utilized in the interfaces built with DGLux5. This is achieved by keeping track of
the number of topics a DGLux5 project employs when end users navigate through various pages and components. All
DGLux5 licenses include unlimited user seats and projects on a single host device (embedded, personal or server).
Topics
A topic is defined as a unique interaction with the server such as a subscription to a data point, an executed query, or a
command like a set value. For example: a page with 3 gauges showing one unique value per gauge, a chart displaying
two trends, and a graphic of a fan displaying and allowing control of fan status, would equate to 7 topics.

Installation
The assembly is to be executed following installation standards by trained personnel. The installation of the device takes
place on standard (norm) DIN rail 35 mm in electrical cabinets. For the assembly in intermediate ceilings suitable
housings have to be used. If necessary, inspection openings have to be provided.
When installing it is important to make sure that the open parts of the device are free from pollution.
Software
The device is delivered without a loaded program. A suitable program for the purpose must be loaded by trained
personnel.
Commissioning
Commissioning has to be performed by a licensed and trained professional. Local rules and regulations have to be
observed.
Service / Maintenance
The GSM-DSA is maintenance-free.
The program is saved in flash memory and is saved during power blackout. The GSM-DSA features an internal UPS which
keeps the device running for 2 minutes after removal of power. After 2 minutes the device will perform a save shut down.
The power backup serves additionally to maintain the system time. At initial power up, the battery needs to be charged
for 4 hours before power backup operation works reliably.
Connection options
The GSM-DSA is appropriate for the application in the building technology environment. With its extensive features of
standard communication interfaces and protocols, it is also able to link a large variety of external devices besides Vector’s.
Available as interfaces are the serial interfaces (RS485), as well as connections for the Ethernet network. Wired or Wi-Fi.
