Europlex Universal Interface Card (EUIC) 11-3
EUIC OVERVIEW
The EUIC provides output mapping functions for the 3GS
controller. The mapping feature is generally used for
controlling CCTV video multiplexers and other security
peripherals. The board is microcontroller based and has
three serial communication ports.
One serial port communicates with the 3GS Controller (the
panel port). The second and third serial ports are called the
host serial ports. The second port is used to send a
command message to an attached video multiplexer and
the third port is used to program the EUIC via a PC.
The general set-up of a 3GS integrated security and access
system with the EUIC is shown in the diagram opposite.
The EUIC polls the 3GS system to determine the states of
the zones and doors and the outputs on the system. When a zone, door, or output state changes (an event occurs), a
command string code is then executed.
A command string can cause two types of actions:
i Control devices connected to the 3GS System.
ii Send a command message to the video multiplexer.
The EUIC command string code is a simple text based language. The PC port is used to configure and programme the
EUIC. A text based protocol is used to communicate settings and commands to the EUIC. A programming application
for Windows 95/98 is provided which simplifies programming further by providing a windows based graphical user
interface (GUI).
