[Ticket Question] Honeywell Gd520

[Secware2]

 Can i network 5 different systems together with this panel?

Im thinking, have 1 as a master and the others a slaves Honeywell Galaxy Dimension 520 Control Panel Only C520-D-E1

How are you interconnecting them..

Do you mean use rios and groups?

Honeywell have also advised:

It's not possible to link galaxy systems together as master and slaves.

Only way would be via outputs and keyswitch zones, so as to set different panels from a main one by triggering outputs.

We have 5 separate buildings with their own panel, rios' and devices.

I want building no1 to be the master and the other 4 buildings to be slaves. I want to set/ unset the 5 buildings from an RKP in building 1.

The network is fibre between buildings.

Will Galaxy gold enable the programming to this structure?

No you cant link them like that.

You could do it with the vanderbilt system and spc connect via pc, tablet etc.

As per admins reply. The galaxy rs485 bus that's used to interconnect remote power RIO's, doesn't support running over Ethernet. Even if you used rs485 to Ethernet converters, any latency on the bus could result in tampers. You could fit Ethernet to each panel and control each building individually via the SelfMon or GX apps.

[Secware2]

We have Ethernet modules on each panel and they sit on their own dedicated fibre network.
If I use Galaxy Gold on the network, will this let me interrogate and monitor all panels?

Are the panels interfaced to the galaxy gold by means of MAC address?

[Secware_Tech6]

You can use rss.

Not the mac address you use the ip address

[stuart_mcg]

If you have the panels networked, then you can either individually control all panels via app, or you could use a building management system like Win-Pak to control all sites from one windows application.
