General Information
The DSX-1043 is an independent processing, 16 output,
intelligent controller designed to be a cost effective building
block in the DSX hardware platform that allows expansion in a
scalable manner. Up to 64 outputs can be controlled from 1
enclosure for an efficient space saving package. Each DSX-
1043 operates as a fully intelligent and independent controller
that retains all data necessary for system operation in its own
RAM. With its integral real-time Clock and Calendar it
performs Time Zone control with Holiday overrides for
outputs even when communication to the PC or other
controllers is not available. The DSX-1043 carries a Limited 2
Year Warranty.
Controller Architecture
The DSX-1043 Intelligent Controller may be used in
conjunction with all other DSX Controllers as a Master or
Slave in the controller network. Any controller may be
designated as a Master or Slave controller. The Master or
Slave mode of operation is determined by the panel’s dip
switch settings. The first panel of each location is designated
as the Master while all others would be considered Slaves.
The Master is responsible for communications to the PC and to
the Slave panels. Up to 64 Controllers can be used in a single
Location.
Up to four DSX-1043 controllers can be placed in a DSX-
1040E Enclosure along with a DSX-1040CDM
Communication Distribution Module. The controller can be
placed in a 1042PKG mixed with DSX-1042 and DSX-1044
Controllers. The DSX-1043 contains an AM186 processor,
512K of RAM, 512K of Flash ROM, and a Real Time Clock.
The DSX-1043 allows all door and field wiring connections to
be made via removable terminal blocks. The DSX-1040CDM
receives RS-485 communications from a possible previous
panel and regenerates the 4 wire RS-485 to the next DSX
Controller. The DSX-1040CDM also distributes Slave
Controller communication to those Slave panels located within
the same enclosure.
Outputs
The DSX-1043 has 16 Programmable, Form-C, 5 Amp rated
Relay Outputs. The on/off state of the outputs can be
controlled by up to 4 Time Zones, I/O & Card Linking, and
Manually from the PC. The Relay Override Input requires a
closure for the outputs to operate. When the Override Input is
open the outputs are de-energized. All Outputs have an LED
for status.
Inputs
The DSX-1043 has 2 non-supervised inputs for tamper
monitoring. The armed status of each input can be controlled
by up to 4 Time Zones, I/O & Card Linking, and Manually
from the PC.
System Power
Each DSX-1043 is powered from an individually fused 12 volt
output from the DSX-1040CDM distribution module located
in the same DSX-1040E enclosure.
