2. General
2.1 What is WINMAG plus
WINMAG plus is a modular PC-based security management system for hazard detection systems that can be
configured as per your requirements
‚ Running under the operating systems Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows
Server 2012.
‚ Innovative, convenient and configurable user interface
‚ Alarm processes and alarm conditions that can be adapted to your requirements
‚ With macro functions
‚ Flexible, windows-orientated graphics
‚ A variety of user entitlements
‚ Configurable as single or multi-user system or as a distributed system
‚ With connection of peripherals via PC interfaces, PC networking and modems(analog and ISDN).
‚ With “open” interface to different systems
‚ With connection modules to third-party products (central units, video matrix switches, building
services management systems) .......
‚ Connection to third-party products can also be executed by user.

WINMAG plus offers convenient, uniform, PC-based operating and control of the alarm systems connected including
message evaluation, alarm signalling and message processing that can be adapted to your requirements.

WINMAG plus runs as a single-user system on one PC or PC-Network with TCP/IP.

WINMAG plus can process data from various networks such as the Honeywell IGIS network, the Honeywell IGIS
LOOP network, the event protocol, the essernet, modem networks and output data that can be individually
configured:
- Graphics with dynamic symbols
- Tables
- Individual program processes (e.g. alarm program)
- Output at several printers
- Logging in database and files

WINMAG plus data are stored in a protected, coded database.

WINMAG plus incorporates a global editing environment and a variety of examples.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 9

The operating mode of the WINMAG plus system is based on data received from linked networks, modem or from
PCs and the comparing of the data received with those conditions stored in the system. All messages are provided
with an unambiguous address created from network number, device address and I/O device.
Every device is given an unmistakable name as well as an evident address within the network. The I/O devices
incorporated in the system are numbered in accordance with a fixed schema and can be given configurable names.

If a message received fulfils a triggering condition, an individual program can be started to process the message.

A basic requirement for the programming of the WINMAG plus control software is knowledge of the
components to be connected.
To prevent input errors, we recommend you to compile a precise list of the components to be
connected.
As the free programmability of the WINMAG plus control software offers numerous possibilities, the user
should clearly specify implementation requirements.

We assume that you are familiar with using your PC as well as working with the corresponding operating
system. If this should not be the case, please refer to your PC user manual and the user manuals for your
operating system.

Configuration
10 Programming manual WINMAG plus

2.2 WINMAG plus versions

Depending on version, WINMAG plus can be operated with different options. It is possible to change the versions
and to change the options.

2.2.1 Demo version

The demo version gives you an overall picture of the WINMAG plus performance capabilities. The demo version
permits unlimited operation (20 days for max. 8 hours each) as single-station or multi-station version with all options.
Networks can be connected and messages/alarms processed. All editing functions are enabled.
To enable demo operation without sensors and far-reaching knowledge of the system, demonstration data are
available that can simulate different types of alarms for demonstration purposes. Hereto, please refer to the menu
“Table view”, option “Simulation” for simulating alarms/messages.
After online operation of the demo version 20 test days, you can still use the demo version for editing and simulation
via the menu option “Simulation”. After the demonstration possibility of online operation has elapsed, online operation
is only then possible when you have a licence (dongle necessary).

2.2.2 Single-station version

The single-station version permits the operation of WINMAG plus at one time at one station. Programming and data
environment is identical with the demo version.
Optional rights and upgrade number are acquired when licensing (dongle). This number is required for extending
and upgrading WINMAG plus.
Several single-station licences can be operated in an IGIS (or Essernet) network. These are then autonomous to
a large degree and thus enhance redundant reliability of the system.
Every PC can be configured to individual requirements and execute different functions.
Using the WINMAG plus “Access Control” option or the “IQ MultiAccess” option “process visualization” is possible
using the access control software “IQ-MultiAccess”.

2.2.3 Multi-station version

The multi-station version permits the distribution of alarms/messages/signals via a PC network. One or more
computers can be assigned as a server and other computers (clients) can request data.
Prerequisite: Set-up of a TCP/IP service.
The number of connections is not logically limited. Practical limits are set by computer and network performance.

In the subsequent desription the terms data master and network master are used.
data master 6 Holds all configuration files (data base, graphics, SIAS-scripts)
network master 6 WINMAG plus-station with physical hardware coupling

3 modes of multi-station configuration are available

[Link] Multi-station

One or several computers act as server that supply alarm/message data to other computers (also interactive). Multi-
station includes network distribution of messages via the event protocol. In addition the data environment is shared.
Every client replicates its own data environment with that of the server and copies changed server data into its own
data environment. The default WINMAG plus directories are checked. Data not included in the WINMAG plus default
directories are not automatically copied.

The computers from which data are supplied are defined at the client. All changed or new data (default directories
e.g. database, graphics from the “Graphics” directory, layers, SIAS programs) are transferred from the server to the
client. Changing of the alarm point list and to the network structure cannot be executed by the client.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 11

The WINMAG plus directory on the server must be enabled for sharing.
The WINMAG plus directory on the server must be mapped to a drive on the client.
The path to the server is defined in the start parameters of the client WINMAG plus

WINMAG plus runs on the server and on all clients locally!

Example:
WINMAG plus is running on the server in c:\Honeywell\winmagplus
The server is connected to the client computer using a drive mapping of w:\\hostname-IPaddress\winmagplus.
A shortcut is created (client) that has the destination:

C:\<path to local WINMAGplus>\[Link] -c w:

The client checks its data with the data on the logical drive w:.

Prerequisites
! The WINMAG plus directory must be enabled for reading and writing at the data master.
! The client must have read- and write-access to the master directory.
! A logical drive allocation to the data master drive must be defined at the client.
! The client computer must be defined as multi-station client at the data master.
! A TCP/IP connection must exist between data master and client.
! The host name or the IP address of the client must be defined at the data master.
! A dongle with Multi-station option is necessary at the network master.
! The same WINMAG plus version must be installed on all computers.

Error messages:
! Update program
When a check of the programs in the main directory (master/client) has been executed, a difference has
been recognized. Master and clients must be equipped with the same program versions.
! Update data
Stack content or data are not identical and cannot be automatically updated
(e.g. from sub-directories that have been self-created).
! During updating of data (master directory) an error has occurred.
The check cannot be executed. Possible reasons:
- data write-protected?
- access to data (other programs) attempted?

[Link] Distributed network

The “distributed” mode is a variant of the multi-station mode. One or several computers act as server that supply data
to other computers (also interactive). Contrary to the multi-station configuration, every computer has its own data
environment; database and alarm programs can be configured as per requirements. The database and SIAS
programs (master) are not copied.

The server can supply messages/data that it has initialized/requested (network), i.e. all data requested by the client
must be available at the server.

Example:

WINMAG plus is running on the server in c:\Honeywell\winmagplus.

On the client computer, WINMAG plus is running under c:\”path to local WINMAGplus”.
A link is created at the client that has the destination:
C:\<path to local WINMAGplus>\[Link] -c
The client is started using the start parameter “-c" without specifying path.
12 Programming manual WINMAG plus

Prerequisites
‚ The client must be defined as a „distributed system client“ at the master in the network configuration.
‚ A TCP/IP connection must exist between master and client.
‚ The host address or the IP address of the client must be defined:
• at the master for the client
• at the client for the master
‚ Multi-station option and dongle are necessary at „shared computers“ (in other words not at a client
that only receives data).
‚ All computers that configurated as distributed system clients, possess an own database with own
data structure. E.g. if a computer is linked to an IGIS network, alarms/messages/signals can be
distributed to other computers via the address for data transmission by entering an address in the
network configuration of the network under „address for data transmission" (see graphic below). The
network to be transmitted is assigned to the „distributed system client". The messages can be
received in the network at the client.
‚ To use WINMAG plus as a distributed system, at least version [Link]. should be used on the
stations.
‚ In chapter Appendix (Configuration of a distributed client) you will find a sample configuration.

[Link] Several Single-stations versions in a network

Several Single-station computers are operated in an IGIS network. Every computer has its own unique IGIS
address. All other data may be identical or different. The computers can be programmed for “computer
interaction” via configuration of triggering conditions. As several computer possess their own network access
feature, the redundant design enhances system reliability.

Numerous different initialization models can be kept in central units. As every computer has its own initialization
model, the number of initialization models corresponds to the number of computers (multi-station or shared
systems need only one initialization model for all computers connected) linked directly to the central unit.

2.2.4 WINMAG Lite

The program WINMAG-Lite is also on the WINMAG plus-CD. During installation, you will be asked if you wish to
install WINMAG plus or WINMAG-Lite. WINMAG Lite is the cost-favourable starter version for an object
(network) with a maximum of 500 I/O devices and is suitable for small installations for which major extensions or
connections of further hazard detection control panels are not planned in the near future.
Due to the combination of a hazard detection control panel with video management systems Honeywell Fusion
and VisiOprime, small objects in particular can be secured professionally. WINMAG Lite provides the user with
almost all the basic functions of WINMAG plus.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 13

2.2.5 WINMAG Touch

The PanelPC is a display and operating terminal on PC basis for the hazard management system WINMAG
plus. It is a full-function PC with a touchscreen and has comfortable and simple to use operator guidance. The
WINMAG touch installed on the panel PC can process and display data from different networks, e.g.
Honeywell-IGIS network, Honeywell-IGIS-LOOP network, Essernet, IP networks etc.
All system information relating to the connected fire alarm and/or intruder alarm control panels are displayed on
the PanelPC clearly and comprehensively. Zones can be armed/disarmed externally and detector groups can be
disabled/enabled internally.
The WINMAG PanelPC can be operated within a WINMAG multi-station configuration as client whereby all data
(database, drawings, layer, SIAS programs etc.) are transmitted by the WINMAG plus server per TCP/IP.
The alert data are also transmitted from the server to the PanelPC. Operating commands from the PanelPC are
sent via the server to the relevant zones or to the detector groups. In small installations, the PanelPC can also
be operated with WINMAG touch as a stand-alone display and operating terminal.
Up to 4 control panels can be connected either via TCP/IP or via a serial connection to the PanelPC.

2.2.6 Gateway including OPC server

With this option, WINMAG plus can be used as an OPC server. An OPC data access server is a software
package that provides other programs (OPC clients) with process data in compliance with precisely defined rules
(OPC specification). Primarily, OPC data access servers are used as a substitute for device drivers that would
otherwise have manufacturer-specific interfaces. With random OPC clients it is then possible to exchange the
process data provided by the OPC server.

2.2.7 Process visualization "IQ Graph"

The "Process visualization" is a WINMAG plus version with a reduced spectrum that cannot communicate with
intrusion or fire alarm panels. It supplements the IQ MultiAccess and serves
- the graphic display of door states and zone counters,
- the output of door data and personal names in the zone
- the integration of flexible alarm processing in the access control

2.3 Start WINMAG plus

A program group is created during the installation of WINMAG plus whose predefined name is "WINMAG plus".
If you wish to start WINMAG plus manually, use this WINMAG plus program group for this purpose.
We recommend allowing the system to automatically start the control centre program WINMAG plus after
switching on the computer (autostart). Enter [Link] under "Autostart". Enter via Settings/Task
bar/Programs in the Start menu / under .profiles\all users\start menu\ programs\autostart.

2.3.1 WINMAG plus start parameters

WINMAG plus can be started with various parameters. The start parameters are either in a link or in the
WINMAG [Link] file in CommanLineOptions.

-C "path to Master" Start WINMAG plus as client in multi-station mode, the data are compared with the
directory defined under "path to Master" and then copied from there.
-C Start WINMAG plus as client in the distributed system with own database
-D Start WINMAG plus in demonstration mode (without online link and check)
-FullScreen Display WINMAG plus without header and footer (for displaying in the browser)

Dongle not recognized:

If the dongle is not recognized or in the event of a faulty license file, WINMAG plus only starts in demonstration
mode. If WINMAG plus does not recognize the dongle, either
a) specify the port of the dongle
and/or
b) enter a delay time.

a) Specify the port of the dongle.

Examples:
USB-Port: c:\Path to the local WINMAGplus\[Link] -Hardlock USB
LPT1-Port: c:\Path to the local WINMAGplus\[Link] -Hardlock 378p
LPT2-Port: c:\Path to the local WINMAGplus\[Link] -Hardlock 278p

b) The time to load the USB driver is too short. Therefore a delay time is required.
c:\Path to local WINMAGplus\[Link] -Delay XX
For XX enter a value between 1 and 60 (sec.).

2.4 Licensing/Dongle
2.4.1 Functional range
To use WINMAG plus permanently, the program must be licenced. Licensing enables program options and
authorizes you to use the program.
Upon licensing WINMAG plus you receive a dongle that is to be connected to a parallel interface or a USB port
of the WINMAG plus computer. For multi-station systems, every computer that includes connections needs a
dongle. Workstations without own connection do not need a dongle.
Licensing is for a specific version. When upgrading to a higher WINMAG plus main version (change of first figure
e.g. from V01.x to V02.x) , the licence must be upgraded to the current version.
If the dongle is removed when the program is in operation, WINMAG plus runs for max. 72 hours in online
operation without the dongle.
If you do not licence WINMAG plus, after installation it will run for 20 optional online test days (8 hours each
time) as full version and then it will switch into demo mode. This means, that after the demonstration time has
elapsed, no connection is available to components.
A start in offline mode does not reduce the number of online test days.
The demo version of WINMAG plus is an executable editing environment. All components (except the adoption
of alarms/messages) function. Thus, any event can be simulated using the demo version. All edit functions can
be used.

2.4.2 How to licence WINMAG plus

Licensing is executed of the ordering of a dongle and a licence file. The licence includes individual specifications
and enabled options.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 15

Necessary data for licensing:

! Name of customer
! New licence, update, upgrade
! Type of dongle (parallel or USP port)
! Connection structure (=> number of dongles, options)
! Update number.

For possible program options per dongle/licence file please see the order form to WINMAG plus or
WINMAG Lite.

2.4.3 Licensing information

Licence parameters are displayed in WINMAG plus in the info dialogue using the "Help / Info about WINMAG
plus" menu.
The executable full version and the demo version are identical. You do
not have to replace programs to turn a demo version into a full version.
The difference is the dongle.

The licence parameters can also be shown via the licence file
Liz_XXXXXXXX.txt. The licence file contains the dongl no., the object
name, the customer name as well as the corresponding product
licences.

2.5 Ordering WINMAG plus

WINMAG plus is a modular program, thus the WINMAG plus software comprises several part numbers.
To help you configure your WINMAG plus software components, please use our WINMAG plus Order Form
which you can request from our Sales Department.
For creating a new system you need the WINMAG plus basic version (item no. 013610).
Depending upon the peripheral devices connected, you will also require one or more program options e.g.:

013601 WINMAG plus licence EMZ (intrusion)

013626 WINMAG plus licence BMZ (fire)
013603 WINMAG plus licence ZK (access control)

Every PC that distributes data needs a dongle that includes the required options and number of computers to
which data can be transferred.

013630 basic licence with dongle for the parallel interface

013631 basic licence with dongle USB

You need a client licence for every computer to which data is routed (e.g. routing to 3 computers = 3 client
licences):

013625 licence WINMAG plus client

You can order program options separately to upgrade your basic program. For every change of option you will
receive a licence update file "Liz_XXXXXXXXXX.txt”. This update/upgrade file must be loaded into the WINMAG
plus update directory.
An old version of WINMAG plus can be updated to the current program version. Please note that the licence
applies to a specific version.
As a rule, a revised licence is required when changing the version (update is made with the files
"Liz_XXXXXXXX.txt" and "W_Update.liz"). If you wish to change from a WINMAG version up to 5.0 to the current
WINMAG plus version, you require a dongle for every computer that is connected to WINMAG components.
16 Programming manual WINMAG plus

3. Connection via OPC server

3.1 General
The use of the OPC server and the OPC client requires basic knowledge of OPC and DCOM.

OPC is the abbreviation for “OLE for process control”. OPC is a standardized OPC foundation software interface
for exchanging process data between applications. OPC is based on the Microsoft COM/ DCOM technology.
DCOM enables access via a network. OPC is in the process of becoming established as the standard data
interface in automation technology. The WINMAG plus OPC server is a additional option that can be enabled via
the dongle. This option enables the use of WINMAG plus as an OPC server. The WINMAG plus OPC server is
integrated in the WINMAG plus installation as a component. When queried by a client, the OPC server provides
no data without being enabled. In offline mode, data are available for test purposes.
For connection purposes, WINMAG plus can be operated in a mode without an interface so that WINMAG plus
components are only applicable to the user during configuration or in case of an error. The WINMAG plus
interface is controlled via the file “[Link]” in the WINMAG plus master directory. If the file exists, the following
setting is possible:
[OPC]OPConly = true reduced interface for OPC operation only.

3.2 Use of the OPC server

An OPC data access server is a software package, that provides other programs (OPC clients) with process data
according to defined (fixed) regulations (OPC specification). OPC data access servers are mainly used as a
substitute for device drivers that would otherwise have manufacturer-specific interfaces. With random OPC
clients, it is then possible to exchange process data provided by the OPC server.
The OPC server is started automatically if this is requested by a random client. Several OPC clients can create a
connection simultaneously to the OPC server.
When the OPC server is actively connected with a client, you cannot exit WINMAG plus!

3.3 OPC interfaces

Not only the interfaces required according to the OPC specification Data Access 2.04, but also the browsing
interface is supported. This enables an OPC client to browse same without having knowledge of the address
space.
Browsing means requesting the existing address structure of an OPC server and enables the simple selection of
tags and communication with the tags without knowing the addressing syntax of the OPC server.
The following OPC connections are supported by the OPC interface:

supported OPC-Interfaces OPC-DA 2.04

IOPCCommon Required
IOPCServer Required
IConnectionPointContainer (OPCServer) Required
IOPCItemProperties Required
IOPCBrowseServerAddressSpace Optional
IOPCItemMgt Required
IOPCGroupStateMgt Required
IOPCSyncIO Required
IOPCAsyncIO2 Required
IConnectionPointContainer (OPCGroup) Required
Programming manual WINMAG plus 17

3.4 Display of WINMAG plus data types on OPC data types

In the WINMAG plus system, process variables are managed as enumators and can have max. 16 function
values. Description texts can be allocated to these discreet values. Access to the process values is via their
discreet value or the description text.
In the OPC server, the process values and the numerical values are also managed as texts. Allocation to OPC
data types is as follows:

Texts are always displayed on VT_BSTR

Numerical values are displayed on VT_Ul1.
- The statuses of an I/O point, objects or network are also displayed as a total of 8 statuses (break down
in Nibbel) as a VT_14 value (the value must be evaluated unsigned).
- The OPC clients enable mapping to all other supported OPC data types.

OPC access rights

The OPC access rights are displayed on the WINMAG plus variables as follows:
- WINMAG plus InTags have READ access
- WINMAG plus OutTags have WRITE access

Option: All OutTags are readable with read_write access.

This option is required should a client demand a read process before a write process. The read out values are
only fictitious, constant values and only exist so that the read request is fulfilled.

3.5 Address space structure

The address space uses the WINMAG plus address structure.

At the 1st level the configured networks appear.

At the 2nd level, the objects used for the network
appear. For every object the I/O points of the objects
are at the 3rd level.

The statuses are at the 4th level within the I/O points.
Depending on the type of object/network, statuses are
also possible at the 2nd or 3rd level (statuses of the
network/object). The statuses (max. 8) of an I/O point,
or network are also imaged as a total.

OPC tags are only allocated to the statuses and/or the

“total” of the statuses. All other structure elements only
contain information for addressing. The OPC tags
allocated to the statuses enable access to the discreet
process values and to the description texts allocated to
the values. For this purpose, an OPC tag is created for
representing the discreet values, a tag for the
descriptions and a tag per network or I/O point for the
“total” of the statuses.
18 Programming manual WINMAG plus

3.6 Configuration OPC server

The OPC server is configured in the menu "Edit system configuration -> Change network configuration -> Edit
multiple stations. See also 5.4.2 WINMAG plus- Edit stations.

Ports:
Two ports of the OPC server are used. By providing the first address, the second address is automatically
configured.

Allow client on other PC:

Connections to other computers are permitted.

Short OPC tag name:

The short name contains the address for an object and network, for I/O devices the number.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 19

4. Basics on programming
WINMAG plus is an open control software that can be greatly adapted to user requirements.
WINMAG plus includes all the tools necessary to execute adaption.

The editing functions are subdivided into

! Internal editing functions
- System configuration (interface, networks, users, printer, rights...)
- Edit drawings (create image structure, integrate icons and actions)

! External editing functions

- Design alarm sequences (manage SIAS programs)
- Create/revise drawings

User-adaption is executed via an integrated programming language (SIAS). This programming language
operates within WINMAG plus in the same way as Visual Basic for Applications operates in Microsoft Office
applications and allows to design

! alarm flows
! service routines
! triggering criteria
! macros
! symbol actions

In order to configure, we recommend attending a WINMAG plus workshop or a special briefing to acquire
understanding of the system more quickly.

4.1 Programming procedure

The configuration of a WINMAG plus system is divided into the following steps:
1. WINMAG plus installation

2. Adapt data (edit)

Create networks, objects, I/O points
Adapt SIAS programs
Integrate graphics
Place icons
Adapt system settings

3. Connect WINMAG plus with periphery

WINMAG plus is supplied factory-configured with descriptions of various control panels, networks and objects,
procedures and examples for creating your own configuration.
You can use these examples for your own configuration purposes or remove them from the system.

In any case WINMAG plus must be adapted to the objects connected. This means that the detectors and
alarms/messages to be edited must be defined and can be user-adapted (edit network configuration).

WINMAG plus system data is stored in a database. Thereby, relationships could exist between data that are
important for user-configuration.

First of all the networks are to be configured, then the objects and then the I/O devices with types (as per
structure). Symbols can only be defined after I/O devices have been defined. A symbol is the graphical display of
an I/O device.
20 Programming manual WINMAG plus

4.2 Terms
Internal edit functions
Internal edit functions are integrated in WINMAG plus and can be directly called by WINMAG plus (user rights)
via menus and buttons. Examples of such functions are the creating of objects, the placing of symbols or the
issuing of user rights.

External edit functions

External edit functions are functions that cannot be directly called by WINMAG plus, these functions must be pre-
extracted from other programs or from system control. Examples of such functions are the creating of graphics,
printer configuration under Windows and the editing of SIAS programs.

Network
A network is a group of objects that are connected via a common interface/medium. For example, all control
panels connected to an IGIS-PC interface.

Object = control panel

Every device connected to a network is an object.
Examples of objects:
- Intrusion detection control panels IDCP 561-M20/M99/MB16/MB24/MB48/MB100/100.10/MB256/256 plus
- Fire detection computers FDC 664, BMC 616, BMC1024, BMC1016
- Frame interfaces for fire detection computers
- Operating and display unit BUAG / MUBUAG
- IGIS V24 interface
- PC interfaces
- Transmission device DS 6750
Every object has a unique network address. Every message can be allocated to an object via this address.

I/O device
A I/O device describes a device who’s status can be monitored e.g. the status of a zone or the status of a
detector group.
A I/O device can have up to 8 states. I/O devices states can adopt defined function values.

I/O device status

Categorization of I/O devices into individual states, i.e. input states and output states.
Input = from object (control panel ) to PC = monitor
Output = from PC to the control panel (object) = control
A maximum of 8 input states and a maximum of 8 output states can be defined.

Function value:
Function values are values that individual I/O states can adopt.
Example group 1 input state 0
Function value 0: OK
Function value 1: triggered
Function value 2: not available

I/O device type

The I/O device type is the general description of a I/O device to which several I/O devices (same type) can be
allocated. Thus, the description of individual I/O devices can be kept to a minimum.

Example: The I/O devices 101 to 199 of a control panel type 561-MB100 are of the type “intrusion group
MB 100/16/8". The I/O devices are of the same type and must only be described once.

Variations can be derived from one type of I/O device that differ by way of changed:
- texts for status and function values
- alarm types
- filter structure (ie. Some function values and controls may be “filtered-out” by derived types)
A I/O device type and all types derived from it are known as an I/O device type family.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 21

Alarm reason / type

In WINMAG plus you can allocate an alarm reason to every function value. A collection of alarm reasons form an
alarm type e.g. all fire alarms of the type fire.
The alarm reason is used in the default triggering conditions for the start of programs.
The type of alarm appears as tab in the stack view via which alarms of the same type can be separated.

I/O device list

The I/O device list for all IGIS capable components is published by Honeywell on request. It includes the default
I/O device types. These types include all possible I/O devices, statuses and function values of the components.
This list shows the data that can be received by each component and the data that can be sent by each
component.

Symbol
A symbol is the graphical display of a I/O device. Every status/function value combination can be allocated to a
layer. As there is an exact function value for every status of a I/O device, as many layers can be displayed as
statuses included in the I/O device type. The layers are drawn in the status
sequence and layered on top of each other. Thanks to transparent areas or optimally-configured layers, all
attributes can be simultaneously displayed.
Detectors are found in drawings by way of symbols - the proper functioning of the find function depends on the
correct positioning of symbols.
Select a symbol to display detector information and execute control functions.

Layer
One or more status/function value combinations can be allocated to a layer.
Every layer is drawn as independent image.
22 Programming manual WINMAG plus

4.3 Message structure

The messages transmitted by the system are based on the I/O device schema. Thus, an IGIS change message
has the following components:

! Destination address
! Message type /alarm type
! IGIS address of the object (message address)
! I/O device number
! Status number
! Function value number
! Time

In WINMAG plus texts are allocated to all numerical data. All texts included in the system can be edited and
adapted to user requirements.

4.4 User-defined programming

In addition to freely editable system data, user-defined programs are the nucleus of the flexibility of WINMAG
plus.
Freely configured programs that include various tasks such as displaying data, controls, printing, checking etc.
can be called within WINMAG plus.

The programs are created in simple syntax (SIAS). WINMAG plus contains all tools to create and to edit these
programs.

Editing is executed using “SIASEDIT”. SIASEDIT is installed in the WINMAG plus program group during set-up
(External edit functions).

All user-defined programs are included in the WINMAG plus sub-directory “WINMAGEX”.

We differentiate between 3 different types of programs:

! Stack programs that run as independent window. Start is executed via triggering conditions or via
manual program start. The program is included in the program stack and thus the execution sequence is
defined by way of own priority and other program stack content. A maximum of 10 programs can run
simultaneously.

! Pop-up programs runs in a window via the polling window. The size of the window can be defined. The
program is immediately executed and is not placed in the stack.
Start is executed via:
• the triggering conditions or
• allocation to a mouse button or to a symbol (pop-up program)

! Macro programs run in the background without a window, thus screen output is not possible. The
program is immediately executed and is not placed in the stack.
Start is executed via:
• the triggering conditions or
• allocation to a mouse button or to a symbol (macro) or
• the SIAS program instructions change, open, close
Programming manual WINMAG plus 23

5. Internal programming functions

Internal edit functions are included in the WINMAG plus control software and these functions can be called up
via
C the Edit / System configuration menu
C the Edit / Edit graphics menu

C the “Edit system configuration” button

C the “Edit graphics” button

C the Edit / Edit online menu

The user must be authorized to use the functions!

5.1 Functions menu "Edit system configuration"

The “System configuration” includes functions for the configuration of networks, objects, I/O devices, types,
alarm reasons, symbol configuration, operators, buttons, printer allocation and display settings. Only the options
that the user is allowed to execute are shown.

The command can also be executed via the “Edit system configuration” button .
After “System configuration” has been called, a list appears displaying the options that the user is allowed to
execute.

The function "Edit system configuration” is realised in offline mode. Programs do not start
during editing. Therefore, e.g. no alarms are displayed.

By default the first dialogue box - “Edit general options” is

automatically opened.

Edit online
Subordinate tasks in the system configuration can also be
realised online with the command “Edit online” in the “Edit”
menu. During online editing, WINMAG plus continues running
without limitations, e.g. alarms are displayed, subprograms can
be started, etc.

The options marked "*" are only available in offline

editing mode.

In the following functional description the availability of the

individual functions depending on the editing mode is indicated.

Function is available in the offline editing mode (edit

system configuration).

Function is available in online editing mode.

24 Programming manual WINMAG plus

5.2 Change general options

Select the menu “Change general options” (System configuration). The “Options” dialogue box appears
that permits you to perform general program settings.

The several programming options are grouped by frames:

Alarm editing window:

Check box “Symbol is also flashing after acknowledgement”:
S If you have activated this option, the symbols flash even after you have acknowledged the status
in the alarm program. You can define the status “acknowledged” using the SIAS command
“ack”. “Acknowledged” appears in front of the status in the stack list column “Status”.
S If not activated, the symbol flashes only until the status is acknowledged.
Associated graphic references react as per the check box “Flashing graphic references” setting.

Check box “All symbols in stack are flashing”

S If you have activated this option, the symbols flash for all items contained in the stack.
S If not activated, only the symbols referring to the item being currently
processed flash (see item displayed in alarm window header).
Associated graphic references react as per the check box “Flashing graphic references” setting.

Check box “Graphic references are flashing”

S Activate the “Drawing references flashing” check box to invoke the flashing of drawing
references. The flashing effect is achieved by the changing of the defined colour to RED.
C Red drawing references do not flash (red to red).
C Transparent drawing reference boxes will flash red/white
S If the “Flashing graphic references” check box is not activated, the path through graphics is
hidden.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 25

Alarm stack

Alarm stack entries specifies the maximum number of items that can be contained in the alarm stack. Only
those items with the highest priority are displayed i.e. if a message is received that has a priority higher than that
of the lowest priority message then the message received is entered into the stack and the message with the
lower priority is removed from the stack.
Default setting: 50
Setting range: 1 - 1000

Stacked alarm restart timeout (sec) specifies for how long a program is put back in the stack (by clicking the
“Into stack” button) before the program is automatically restarted. You cannot suppress this automatic restart - it
serves to remind user of “old” programs that have not yet been acknowledged.
Default setting: 600 seconds
Minimum setting: 10 - 60000 seconds

Run alarm programs

Run alarm programs describes the program behaviour according to the event change and editing at other
stations in multi-user systems. The program version depends on the station priority settings in the network
configuration.

On all stations (standard) = Program is edited at all multi-user stations.

On one station after start of program = Program is entered in the stack at all multi-user stations. As soon as a
computer starts the program, it is removed from the stack at the other stations.

On one station after acknowledgement = Program is entered in the stack at all multi-user stations. As soon as
the computer acknowledges the program, it is removed from the stack at the other stations.

Exit automatically after reset = If the triggering event is reset, program run is quitted immediately (required
setting for Austrian standard F3003).

Activate automatic program start = With activated checkbox SIAS-programs will be started automatically from
the batch. Otherwise the start must be triggered manually.

SIAS multitasking

Simultaneous alarm processing specifies how many alarm programs can be executed in their own alarm
window simultaneously. As programs are always started in the work window “full size” you should - when
executing several programs simultaneously - select a display mode that permits you to view several alarm
windows (SIAS-command “tile”,...)
You must be an experienced user to be able to execute several programs simultaneously.
Default setting: 1
Setting range: 1 - 10

Login / Logout

Autologin (sec) specifies how many seconds it takes after starting WINMAG plus to login the default user. Thus,
automatic starting of the program is achieved.
If no default user is defined (selection in user dialogue box), automatic login is not effected. The time defined has
no effect.
Default setting: 1 second
Setting range: 0 - 9999 seconds

Autologout (sec) specifies after how many seconds of user inactivity the system must change over to default
user. If no default user is defined, the system changes over to the user who has the lowest entitlement.
Default setting: 1 second
Setting range: 0 - 9999 seconds
26 Programming manual WINMAG plus

User no-action alarm

User no-action alarm is the monitoring of the user by the system. If the user does not press a button within the
timeout period defined, the I/O device “system/security/no-action alarm/no action timer” is automatically set to
pre-alarm (see” user warning time” below) and then subsequently to alarm.
The system can execute a user-specific SIAS program for this message in the same way as any other message.

Alarm timeout (sec) specifies the time in seconds after which an alarm will be raised.
Default setting: 0 seconds
Setting range: 0 - 99999 seconds

User warning time (sec) specifies how many seconds before the no-action alarm that the user is warned of the
impending alarm. The user action interval state goes to “prealarm”. If the time is set to 0, no pre-warning is given.
Default setting: 0 seconds
Setting range: 0 - 99999 seconds (cannot be higher than “alarm timeout” setting)

Logs

Print logging is the general option for printing of the system protocol. You can set the printer for printing a
protocol in the “Printer configuration” dialogue box. You can set the events to be printed in the “Edit log
messages” dialogue box.
Default setting: not selected

Extended configuration logging: With activated Parameter an explanatory text has to be added with every
changing/extension (required setting for Austrian standard F3003).
Default setting: not selected

Deletion interval database (days) specifies how long a system log entry remains stored until it is automatically
deleted. The deleting period calculations are carried out on an hourly basis.
Default setting: 10 days
Setting range: 1 - 365 days

Deletion interval log files (days) specifies how long a start programs protocol remains stored until it is
automatically deleted. The deleting period calculations are carried out on an hourly basis.
Default setting: 10 days
Setting range: 1 - 90 days

Backup destination directory: Path for storing the backup-files of the protocol database.
Default after installation: Subdirectory within current WINMAG plus main directory.

Backup timeout (sec)

All WINMAG plus events are continuously stored in the Windows SQL database. Backup files are created from
this database at varying intervals. This is the full database backup, the differential backup and the transaction log
backup.
With WINMAG plus systems that have a large number of events, the transaction log backup may not be carried
out correctly due to a too short backup timeout. The incorrect backup procedure is recognizable in that the
transaction log backup file (installation directory WINMAG\prot\WinmagProt_log.ldf) that does not decrease
within 2 weeks but instead permanently increases in size. This can lead to the SQL server working to such a
capacity due to the database backup that the SQL server service stops fully.

Default setting: 30 seconds

Setting range: 15 - 1800 seconds
Programming manual WINMAG plus 27

Esafetynet

Checkbox – transmit state messages

Any status changes are automatically transmitted to the esafetynet portal server (see also edit reason for alarm

Default: bottom

Always indicate all stack entries in black = irrespective of the editing status, all entries in the stack must be
made in black (required setting for Austrian standard F3003).

Last stack entry always visible = The last/latest entry for the selected category is represented in a separate
line at the bottom of the stack list. The stack entries are listed in chronological, ascending order. This means that
both the oldest and the latest entries are visible under the option „Last stack entry always visible“ (required
setting for Austrian standard F3003).

Fire messages as default view = If entries of the alarm type „Fire“ are contained in the stack, the fire tab is
selected (required setting for Austrian standard F3003). Without this setting, the default tab is the standard

5.4 Change network configuration

This edit function is a central configuration function of the system. Here, you can determine which
computers interact, which networks are connected and which messages have an effect on the system.
Every network, every object, every I/O device must be defined here.
All standard objects are included in the system as “resources” and only need to be allocated to the
appropriate network.
Before you can allocate symbols or code control functions in the program you must have performed
network configuration. Thus, you should perform configuration at a very early stage.
Example data can either be used, edited or deleted.

After you have clicked the “Change network configuration” button, the “Network configuration” dialogue
appears in the right part of the System configuration window. This dialogue permits you to create and
edit multi-station networks, objects and I/O devices.

The edit dialogue is split into two windows:

Left: the resources used. Right: the resources not used and/or inactive.

The left window shows an hierarchical tree view of the PC work stations with their networks, objects and I/O
devices that are connected to the local WINMAG plus computer. The branching of a file indicates a level.
Move buttons are located in the middle of the split window. These buttons permit you to move items from one
sub-window to the other and vice-versa.

The information contained in the right window usually refers to the folder that you have selected in the left
window (our example shows objects in the right window that can be integrated into the network shown in the left
window).

If you select an item from the left window the related resources appear in the right window. Normally only
deactivated I/O devices are shown in the right-hand window. If “Show I/O device templates” is selected then all
potential devices for the selected object are shown.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 33

The list in the left window includes the following levels:

1. WINMAG plus computer systems such as the system to which the local computer is connected or
distributed systems.
2. Computers in the LAN
3. Network connected to each computer
4. Objects in each network
5. I/O devices in each object

Our example shows the following structure (left list).

1. Local multi-station WINMAG plus and a connected distributed client system
2. Own PC with the name “WINMAG plus- Master” is linked with a second PC (multi-station
client reception) in a multi-station network. The master distributes all data to the clients.
3. Various networks are connected to the multi-station master
- a direct serial interface (see also information on VdS below)
- an EsserNet
- a Fusion net
- an IGIS-LOOP coupling
- a video coupling
- an access control network (IQ MultiAccess)

Special networks
The “System” network contains system internal information. Presently, you can edit the Calendar and variables
in the network configuration.

The direct serial interface is a new network structure for directly connecting components to the serial interface of
the WINMAG plus computer. This interface is currently not available for the control panels, type MB100.10,
HB48.10, HB24.10, BMZ 8000 C, BMZ 8000 M and BMZ 8008.

Absolutely necessary: Galvanic separation when connecting to a serial interface of the control panel.
The direct serial connection is an interface which does not comply with VdS ->
If this interface is used, the VdS approval is no longer valid!

5.4.2 Edit WINMAG plus stations

In the network configuration, linked components such as PCs with WINMAG plus or PCs with drivers must be
able to identify each other via the event protocol. In a WINMAG plus multi-station system “linked” means that the
PCs can exchange data via the PC network.
PCs can be linked either as a distributed PC with separate database or as a multi-station client with identical
database. The master computer has the default value 130 for virtual address.
In a multi-station system, all network data must be configured at the master station, (the master database is
transmitted to the clients as a central database).
In a distributed system, every PC must be individually configured.

The OPC-Server is using two ports. When providing the first address the second address will be configured
automatically.

Allow client on other PC:

OPC-Server can run on another PC as WINMAG plus.

Short OPC-Tag name:

The short name of objects and nets contains the address. The short name of I/O points contains the number.

Login via ID data carrier

ID data carrier type:
When use the option user identification via ID-data carrier identification here the setting of the read-in station at
the PC is to be made. Following read-in stations are supported: Prox read-in station, Admitto for Mifare Classic,
and Nedap via CrLF protocol (Additional license required). The installation and configuration must be done in
accordance with the original manufacturer's specifications.

Step 2:
Then you must enter the master computer parameters. First select “local (multi-station) WINMAG plus” in the left
window.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 37

Step 3:
In the right window the possible types of linked PC are displayed.

- Multi-station client PC uses the master database. Only configuration necessary is the event
protocol virtual addresses for data re-transmission.
- Distributed system client The PC uses its own network configuration database. Data are exchanged via
the event protocol network by displayed as per local configuration.
Important: The client’s network configuration must be a sub-set of the master’s
(i.e. all the I/O devices used in the client must also exist in the master network
configuration).

Step 4:
Select the required client from the right window.

The difference between a multi-station client and a distributed system client is the location at which the client
data are configured.
With a multi-station client, data are configured at the master station and distributed from this station.
With a distributed client, network data are stored at the client itself in own database.

Step 5:
Press the MOVE LEFT button. The client is integrated into the list structure.

Step 6:
The “Edit WINMAG plus station” dialogue box appears. Enter the required data (see fields described in “Step 1").
Click OK to accept the parameters.

Step 7:
Check box “Protocol Master”. With the check box of that dialog, you can set this option only once in the whole
WINMAG system no matter how many station are included. Normally this should be set on the WINMAG master.
After the check box is selected, all the WINMAG station should be restarted one after the other, so that they
could get to know that a new WINMAG protocol master is configured.
After new start, all the protocol client will automatically replicate all their new protocol via SQL-server to the
WINMAG master every hour. To guarantee successfully protocol replication, the related TCP/IP port on the
WINMAG master machine should be opened for the firewall, as well as the same port on the transportation
routine (e.g. router).
Check box “Enable Encryption”. All data communication can be encrypted (via SSL) as an option.

5.4.3 Create new network

A network defines all objects linked via an interface. Interface parameters are configured via the network and the
objects that are linked are allocated to the network.
A new network is, for example, an additional IGIS interface, a remote network, an event network or an access
control network.

Step 1:
First select from the left window the PC, where a new network must be created.

Specially configured I/O points can be deleted during this.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 41

Step 5:
The new object including the allocated parameters appears in the tree structure shown in the left sub-window.

After you have defined the object, the default I/O devices are available in the database but there are only
a few important I/O devices activated!
You must now activate the individual I/O devices required (move from the right sub-window to
left sub-window) ! See enable / disable I/O devices.

Edit object
If you have selected the object item, you can open the edit dialogue box again via the “Edit” button. You can now
edit.

Deactivate/delete object
If you would like to delete an object you must first of all select if from the tree structure displayed in the left sub-
window.
- Deactivate the object by moving the folder to the right sub-window using the move right button. You
can easily reactivate the object again by selecting it from the list and moving it to the left sub-window.
Deactivated objects are included in the list of resource objects (though they are not listed as
“templates”).
- Delete using the delete button (Note: if an object is deleted it cannot be re-instated).
After a security query the object with all its I/O devices will be deleted.

5.4.5 Activate / de-activate I/O devices

Some I/O devices are activated automatically after an object has been created. Usually, the list of I/O devices
must be adapted to match the equipment installed, additional I/O devices must be activated.
The default database includes some I/O devices. To display these points activate the check box “Show I/O
device templates”.
With the objects "MB 256" and "BMC 1024" not all possible user I/O devices are available as templates.
There are three different modes of activating a I/O device:
- Move the I/O device from left to right window
- Import I/O device from list (please refer to chapter 5.6 Import/Export I/O devices)
- Insert I/O devices (please refer to chapter 5.7 Insert I/O device).

If lists for importing a I/O

device are available, this is the
easiest way to create an
image of the object in
WINMAG plus. Such lists can
be created, for example, in
WINFEM for the central units
type MB256 /FDC 1024, in
MultiAccess (as of version
V4.0) by the user data
converter for BMS 8000
central units or by the driver of
the Esser EMZ 5008.

Procedures for enabling I/O devices.

Step 1:
Select the object for which you would like to edit I/O devices from the tree structure shown in the left sub-
window. The I/O devices already activated appear in the left sub-window. The right sub-window contains the
items available in the database.

Step 2:
Activate the “Show I/O device templates” selection field. (default = disabled)

Step 3:
Depending on the setting of the check box, the window contains
not activated only I/O devices, which had been active and then were deactivated by moving to the
right sub-window.
activated additionally all sample I/O devices of the object.

You can select by marking

- individual items
- a group of items by pressing the SHIFT key whilst clicking
- multiple items by pressing the CTRL key whilst clicking

Step 4:
Select the move left button. The items that you have marked are moved and activated. If you have marked an
individual item, you can also move the next item without marking it by just clicking the move button again.

The moved item is then inserted at the end of the list of items and is only arranged in the list according to
I/O device number after you have refreshed the window.

Edit I/O devices

After you have selected an I/O device, repeat the selection within approx. 5 seconds to directly edit the name.
You can open the “Edit I/O devices” dialogue box by clicking the “Edit” button.

You can edit the name of the I/O device and the I/O
device type in the dialogue box.

Click “OK” to accept the settings.

status names, function values, alarm causes nd filter structures are allocated via the I/O device type. You may
only select types of the same family, i.e. parent type and types derived from the parent type.

You can not edit the number of the I/O device in the “Edit I/O devices” dialogue box. However, you can
edit this in the database.

Delete/deactivate I/O device

If you would like to delete an I/O device you must first of all select if from the tree structure displayed in the left
sub-window.

- Deactivate the I/O device by moving the folder to the right sub-window using the move right button.
You can easily reactivate the I/O device again by selecting it from the list and moving it to the left sub-
window. Deactivated I/O device are included in the list of resource I/O devices (though they are not listed

Procedure for the import of I/O devices

Click the “import data” button to invoke the dialogue

box for file selection.
After you have selected a file, a window displaying a
list of the I/O devices included in the file appears.

After selecting and opening the desired file, a list window with the corresponding I/O devices is shown.

The number of columns displayed can vary as

an “additional text” may not be entered. The
columns available in the example shown are
default columns. The first column is for the I/O
device number, the second column is for the
I/O device name, the third column is for the I/O
device ID and the fourth column (if available)
is for an additional text.

The fifth and sixth columns are for optional IDs.

If data does not correspond to column, drag
and drop column headings to move data to
correct column.

Various options are available for importing data:

- All all I/O devices included in the list will be imported
- Selected only those I/O devices that are selected will be imported

You may define different criteria for both options

Activate all entries All the I/O devices currently activated in the object remain active after import
Use Ids Use Ids to allocate I/O devices (not for all objects available)
Use additional text Import additional text field for the I/O device

Use the Ctrl or Shift keys and the left mouse button or up/down arrow keys to select individual I/O devices or a
block of I/O devices.

Die Option “Meldepunkttypen beibehalten “ muss aktiviert werden, wenn individuell definierte Meldepunkttypen
vorhanden sind. Ist diese Funktion nicht aktiviert, werden alle Meldepunkte mit den Werten aus der
WINMAG plus-Datenbank überschrieben.

After you have selected an option for import, a “wait” display appears. The importing of data can be interrupted
by pressing the “Cancel” button.

After you have finished or interrupted the importing of data, the “Edit object” dialogueue box appears.
Acknowledge by pressing OK.

When importing an entire list of items, only I/O devices included in the list are activated.
All previously activated I/O devices (not included in the imported list) are “de-activated”.
When importing marked items and “Activate all entries” is unchecked, all active items in the
object remain unchanged.
46 Programming manual WINMAG plus

[Link] Export I/O devices

All active I/O devices of a WINMAG plus object can be exported to an ASCII text file.

Procedure for the export of I/O devices

The object selected for export must be in the list of active objects. Then the “export data” button is activated.

Click the “export data” button to invoke the dialogueue

box for selecting the data required in the export file.

Various options are available:

- name of net Network name of the object to be exported
- name of object Object name of the object to be exported
- date Current date
- WINMAG version WINMAG plus version used
- I/O device number Number of the I/O device to be exported
- I/O device name Name of the I/O device to be exported
- I/O device type ID Type ID of the I/O device to be exported
- use additional text Output of additional text field
- export ID’s Output contents of ID1 and ID2 fields
- name of I/O device type Output name of I/O device type
- Symbol placed At least one symbol has been placed in graphics

The first four options of this list are stored once at the beginning of the export file. The settings for I/O device
number I/O device name and I/O device type ID are always selected and cannot be changed.

After clicking “OK” you can specify the name

and location of the export file using the “Save
export file” dialogue.

The ASCII export file lists I/O devices in

separate lines and columns. The columns are
separated by a semicolon.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 47

5.4.7 Insert I/O devices

If not all possible I/O devices are included in an object, additional I/O devices can be manually added by clicking
the “Paste” button

If an object does not contain all required I/O devices (e.g. users with 561-MB256), these can be inserted
- by clicking the “Insert” button or
- by direct input into the WINMAG plus system database. For this you require Microsoft Access. You must
make the necessary entries in the I/O device list manually (not recommended except for experts).
- Import I/O devices from text files

When inserting I/O devices, the I/O device number and the I/O device type must be allocated. To do this, you
must have knowledge of the I/O device structure of the object to be extended.

Procedure for inserting I/O devices

Schritt 1:
Select the object into which I/O devices should be inserted from the left window. The “Paste” button becomes
active.

Schritt 2:
Click the “Paste” button to invoke the “Insert I/O devices” dialogueue box.

By entering values in the “from” and “to” fields you can

insert several consecutive I/O devices.

Field description:
I/O device number from Field for the first I/O device number to be entered.
I/O device number to Field for the last I/O device number to be entered (if several I/O devices are to
be inserted). If only one I/O device is to be inserted, the field must be left empty.

If an I/O device number has already been allocated to an object, a new I/O device can not be inserted
using this number. I/O devices can only be inserted using non-allocated I/O device numbers.

Name: Field for the name of the I/O device. This should be a unique name within an object. If
several I/O devices are being created, the name is given a consecutive number. This
starts with 1 for the from numbers. Maximum length: 40 characters (incl. consecutive
number)
I/O device type: Field for the I/O device type allocated. Every I/O device inserted is allocated to the I/O
device type selected. The I/O device status names, function values, alarm causes and
filter structures are allocated via the type.
OK: Acknowledgement of correct parameters. I/O devices will be created with specified
parameters as long as numbers are not yet included in the object.
CANCEL: Exit the dialogueue box. Input is cancelled.
48 Programming manual WINMAG plus

5.4.8 Edit system I/O devices

The system network contains a number of internal objects and I/O devices. You can edit system I/O devices in
the same way as control panel I/O devices. In the system network, you can edit the objects “Calendar” and
“Variables”. You can not edit any other items (e.g. “Time zones” or “Security”).

[Link] Edit calendars

WINMAG plus calendars are collections of special days in a 4-year cycle. The calendar is forward-defined
cyclically i.e. an executed year is automatically appended to the end of the processing time. e.g. a 2011 item is
automatically made an item for the year 2012 after elapse of the year 2011.
For dates that do not alter, (e.g. birthday) you only need edit the calendar once and then the item automatically
appears in all subsequent years.

“Calendars” are a part of the system network. Each calendar is displayed and can be edited in the same
way as an I/O device. A calendar can also be displayed as a symbol

Create new calendar

To create a new calendar, you must create (in the same way as creating a new object from the resources) a new
item using the move left button. The sample entry is already selected. The “Edit calendar” dialogue box
immediately appears.

Edit calendar
To edit an existing calendar, you must select the name of the calendar from the object. With user-defined
calendars, activate the “Edit” button. This permits you to open the edit dialogue box.

The "Edit calendar" dialogue appears after selecting "Edit":

The name of the calendar can be entered or changed in the "Calendar name" field

The arrow keys < and =are used to select the

desired year.
The calendar illustrates months with the days
in a weekly matrix. Each column is equivalent
to a weekday. The first column is equivalent to
Monday.

Days can be marked within the calendar by

clicking the day field or moving over areas with
the mouse button depressed. Marked days are
highlighted with a blue background. The
marking can be removed by clicking or moving
over the area again.

A calendar appears in the system network as an I/O point in the calendar object. Calendar inquiries can be
realised in the same manner as all other messages in triggering conditions and internal program conditions.
Example of calendar inquiry:
if weekday = "workshops" then ...

Delete calendar
You can delete a selected calendar using the “Delete” button (the system asks you if you really want to delete).
Programming manual WINMAG plus 49

[Link] Time zones

The day is divided in "Time zones" over I/O points in 288 time zones of 5 minutes duration. The system
automatically sets the I/O point of the current time zone for the current time,
e.g. for 11:40

- 11:40 (mp_nr = 141)

- the status "In the time zone" is set to "no" for the I/O point 11:35 (mp_nr = 140)

Triggering conditions are executed every 5 minutes at least through this change.

Reason: The SIAS command "getparameter" waits for an input signal. The subsequent triggering conditions are
only executed after the signal is received. An inquiry of this I/O point change can be realised in the triggering
conditions (Alarm_reason_nr = 50).

Enter/Edit time zones

The “Edit time zone” window can be opened

with the “Enter” button or the “Left” arrow key
after selecting the “Time zones” icon.

Enter the desired name in the time zone name text field.
The fields on the left are selection fields for weekdays or calendars already created. Select the desired values

[Link] Edit variables

Variables from the system network are known as “globals” as they are globally valid on a WINMAG plus PC.
They can be queried by all programs. Variables are structured like detection points for which all possible states
and function values are defined.
A special feature of a variable is the fact that each input (0-7) is always equal to the corresponding output (0-7).
In other words, the control functions 0-7 are directly linked to the state function values 0-7. Thus when the user
selects a particular control function, the value of the variable is always set to the number of the control function
selected.
As a variable is a normal I/O device, it can be displayed as a symbol. It can also be queried and edited using
control commands.

Create new variable

To create a new variable, create a new item by selecting from the resources (as described under “Create new
object”) and moving to the left. The sample entry is already selected. The “Edit I/O device” dialogueue box
appears.

Edit variable
To edit an existing variable, you must select the name of the variable in the object. If you have defined a
variable, the “Edit” button is active. Click this button to invoke the “Edit” dialogueue box.

Delete variable
Click the “Delete” button. The “Are you sure “ dialogueue box appears. Click “Yes” to delete the variable

Set variable values

The value of a global variable can be set via:
- the I/O device list by setting a function value
- the selection of a variable symbol
- SIAS control commands in the user programs.

[Link] Security

The “Security” menu displays special system safety events. These events can be queried as I/O devices.

- User no-action interval displays if the user action interval time defined in “General options” has expired,
i.e. the time within which a manual action must be executed such as the pressing of a key.
- User change displays if a user has been changed
- Dongle state displays if a dongle has been identified

Possible states /function values

User no-action interval OK
Pre-alarm user warning message activated - audible warning given

5.5 Printer setup

Before WINMAG plus can use a printer, the printer must be defined in “Setup printers” in “Edit System
Configuration”.

Once you have clicked on “Setup printers” the printer selection dialogue box appears in which you can edit
printer selection.

You must select a printer from the list of printers installed, then
you can configure your selection by clicking “edit”.
The printer allocated is displayed in the “assigned” column. If
no printer is displayed then no printer is allocated.

Click the “delete” button to delete a printer allocation.

You can only configure those printers that have been

installed in WINDOWS. The system supports a
maximum of 15 printers per computer.
- 3 Line printers
- 10 graphic printers
- 1 Hardcopy/Screenshot printer
- 1 Stack printer

If no printer is selected, the Windows standard printer

will be used.

The “Printer configuration” dialogue box appears that permits you select which Windows printer you wish to
allocate to the selected WINMAG plus printer.

The printer dialogue box can vary depending

upon the printer selected. The dialogue box
illustrated is only an example.
The definition of the print format is an
important function in addition to the selection of
the printer name (as per Windows printer
setup).

You can select the options “portrait” format and

“landscape” format not only for the printing of
text but also for the printing of graphics. If you
select “portrait” for the graphic will be printed
out half-size which will speed up printing.

Types of printers

- A line printer that prints message from out the system log item for item. Thus, we recommend the use of
a line printer using continuous form paper.
- The graphics printer is a page printer that prints out an entire page. Even if you have selected “Portrait”
an entire drawing is printed out on one page.

5.6 Edit user groups

Select “Edit user groups” in “Edit system configuration”, to edit the names of user groups.

The “Usergroups” dialogue appears displaying a list of usergroup names. Select “usergroup name” to edit the
user group name.

Any combination of the possible user groups can be allocated to every user. Every function value can be
allocated to the usergroup in the “I/O device type” configuration.
If both the currently logged in user and a particular I/O device function value are in the same usergroup then the
control function associated with that function value will be made available to the user.

Example: The user John Clinton is included in the user group “blocking”. The user Ian Johnson is not
included in the user group “blocking”.
Group allocation “blocking” must be available for the control function “internal blocking” of an
intrusion detection group. The user John Clinton can see and select the function “internal
blocking”. The user Ian Johnson cannot see the control function.

5.10 Edit symbols

Symbols are the graphical display of I/O devices. The configuration of symbols is closely linked to the associated
I/O device types. Each state/function value combination can be allocated to a layer.
During configuration, layers are placed on top of each other in the sequence of state. Therefore, the layers
(symbols) used to configure a symbol must “harmonize”, i.e. size and configuration must match.
Layers are placed in the centre of the middle point that has been created in the database. The largest layer
determines the size. Transparent symbol areas can be created using the colour white.

Symbols are placed on a backdrop - they are however not a part of the backdrop. This means that the backdrop
can be changed. Observe that symbol allocation includes pixel coordinates relative to the size of the backdrop. If
the size of the backdrop is changed, the position of the symbol could change.

WINMAG plus differentiates between system symbols and user-defined symbols. The ID number of system
symbols is greater = 300000000, all user-defined symbols have an ID number below this value. Only system
symbols are factory-defined.

You cannot change or delete system symbols. The button bar is equipped with a “View” button instead of an
“Edit” button. The “Delete” button is not active.

Select the “Edit symbols” button from the “System configuration “menu bar to view, create, edit or delete
symbols.

The “Select symbol” dialogue box appears that includes all symbols stored in the system. A symbol is displayed
with the first available layer. Furthermore, database ID, symbol name and the allocated I/O device type are
displayed.

Select an item by clicking one of the parameters displayed. The line selected is marked.

If you wish to edit a selected item, you can select one of the active buttons. To edit or view a symbol, you may
also simply double click the item.

Click a column header to sort the list of symbols. Click again to change from ascending sort to descending sort.
Marked items remain marked during the sort process.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 59

5.10.1 View system symbols

If you have selected a system symbol from the table of symbols, the “View” button is active.

Either click the “View” button or double click the symbol using the left mouse button to invoke the “read-only”
“Edit symbols” dialogue box.

“Read-only” means that the dialogue box only displays the symbol with ID, names, type of I/O device, preview
and a matrix of all state/function value combinations together with the allocated layers. The preview permits the
combined display of layers. No input is possible.

The “View” dialogue box is provided with a “Close” button with which you can close the dialogue box. The “Edit
symbol” dialogue box does not have this button.

5.10.2 Copy symbol

By clicking the button “Copy” the selected symbol is copied. This copy gets a new ID below the system area and
the name gets the prefix “Copy of”.

The copied symbol is an user-defined symbol, which can be edited or deleted.

Position at the copied item in the system list.

60 Programming manual WINMAG plus

5.10.3 Edit user-defined symbol

After you have selected a line including a user-defined symbol, click the “Edit” button or double click to invoke
the “Edit symbol” dialogue box for viewing and editing symbols.
You cannot edit system symbols. System symbols can only be edited if they are first copied as user-defined
symbol.

Items that can be edited:

- Name
The name can include max. 40 characters

- Allocation of I/O device in the field “I/O device type”. All defined I/O device types are available. The list is
structured (includes “parent” types, i.e. a parent is a I/O device type from which copies have been
created).

- The “Preview” allows combinations of symbol layers to be viewed. To preview a layer you click on the
associated function value. Multiple layers can be selected for preview. Configuration of a symbol must
correspond to the configuration of function values. If no condition is active then usually, the top row of
layers are displayed.

Edit layer allocation

- Click a marked function value or double click an unmarked function value to invoke the “Select layer”
dialogue box.

All layers defined for the selected

condition/function value combination are
displayed for selection. Click OK to select an
item.

Click “Cancel” to cancel an item. Click “Delete

layer” to delete a layer.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 61

If no suitable layer is included in the list of layers, or the

list of layers is empty, click “New layer” to accept a new
layer for the condition/function value combination.
You can select any layer (.bmp format) from the “Select
new drawing” dialogue box. The dialogue box displays
a preview of the layer together with the most important
layer parameters such as colour and size.

The use of animated graphics as icons is also

possible. The graphics files used for the
animated symbols must be in the GIF graphics
format.

You can close the “Select new drawing” dialogue box as follows:

- Click “OK” to store and close

- Click “Cancel” to cancel and close

If you close the dialogue box using the “Close” window corner button, any changes made will not be saved.

5.10.4 Delete user-defined symbol

Click “Delete” to delete the symbol selected.

It is only possible to delete a symbol when it is not being used, i.e. no I/O device allocated to a layer.

You can only delete user-defined symbols.

62 Programming manual WINMAG plus

5.11 Edit I/O device types

I/O device types contain information of how a I/O device is configured. The following are allocated:

The name of the state and function values

- A state/function value combination corresponding to each alarm message that can be raised by the type
of detector - each of these will have a particular alarm reason associated with it
- A state-function value combination corresponding to each control function that can be sent to an I/O
device of this type - each of these will have a set of user groups to which it belongs

A I/O device type must be allocated to every I/O device. Every symbol definition is based on a I/O device type.

I/O devices types can have a hierarchy. If a new I/O device type has been derived from an existing I/O device
type by way of copying, the derived type becomes a “child” of the existing I/O device type.

The “parent” and all derived I/O device types together form a I/O device type family.

Within a family the “parent” defines the maximum possibilities. The “children” always have a subset of the
“parent” information.

As with symbols, WINMAG plus differentiates between system I/O device types and user-defined I/O device
types. The ID number of the system types is greater = 300000000, all user types are below this value.
Only system types are factory-defined.

You cannot change or delete system I/O device types. The button bar is equipped with a “View” button instead of
an “Edit” button. The “Delete” button is not active.

Select the “Edit I/O device types” button from the “System configuration” menu bar to view, create, edit
or delete symbols.

The “Select I/O device type” dialogue box appears that includes a structured list of all I/O device types. Types
that include derivations are identified by a “+”. Only one item at a time can be opened.

Select an item by clicking once. The item selected is marked.

To edit an item, select one of the active buttons.
Sorting of I/O device types is effected alphabetically within
every hierarchy.

A I/O device type comprises various “definitions” - records with

definition statements that each describe an alarm condition
including its function values, associated alarm reasons and
user group allocation.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 63

5.11.1 View system I/O device type

If you click the “View” button, a “read-only” “Edit I/O device type” dialogue box is invoked.

This dialogue box is “read-only” which means that all input fields are not active.

The dialogue box includes the I/O device type with ID, name, priority and a structured list displaying the defined
conditions/controls.

- Inputs (alarm conditions) are identified by a green arrow.

- Outputs (control functions) are identified by a red arrow.

- Click the plus symbol to display condition function values and control function user groups.

- Click the plus symbol in front of a control function to display the user groups of the control function.

It is not possible to add or delete and function values of a system type. The “View” dialogue box is provided with
a “Close” button with which you can close the dialogue box. The “Edit” dialogue box does not have this button.
For more information, please refer to the “Edit” dialogue box.

5.11.2 Copy I/O device type

Click the “Copy” button to copy a selected I/O device type. The copy includes a new ID below that of system I/O
device type ID´s.
The name gets the prefix “copy of”.
Thus the I/O device type is a derived (“child”) type that will be included in the hierarchy structure of the “parent”
I/O device. If you copy a “child” I/O device it is entered into the same hierarchy level as the level of the I/O device
that you have copied. No other hierarchy level is created.

The copies of a system type can be edited or deleted by an authorized user. Position at the copied item in the
system list.
64 Programming manual WINMAG plus

5.11.3 Edit user-defined I/O device types

Click “Edit” after selecting a user-defined I/O device type to invoke the “Edit I/O device type” dialogue box for
editing and viewing a selected type.
System types cannot be edited and must be first copied as a user-defined type.

The “definition ID” is added (in brackets) to the

condition name.
With function values, associated alarm reasons
including ID and name are added.

Only those conditions defined in the “parent-type” can

be edited.

The following items can be edited:

- Type name in the “Name” field. The name can include a maximum of 40 characters
- Permission level in the “Permission level” field
Permission level refers to the all outputs (control functions) of a type. If the user has at least the
permission level defined, he can execute the control functions displayed in the system overview or
symbol mouse menu.
- To be able to allocate additional user groups the “show all user groups” check box must be active.

Only users belonging to the same user group as a

control function can use that control function. By
default all function values are allocated to the user
group “Standard users”. The same applies to all users.
Thus, by default, all values can be used by all users
(assuming that a user has a valid permission level for
the type).
Programming manual WINMAG plus 65

- Edit definition
After you have selected a state or a function value, you can edit the associated “definition” statement (all
definition statements are replaced by a user defined definition statement during the copying of a type) by
clicking the “Edit” button. Click the “Edit” button to invoke the “Edit definition” dialogue box.

The defined function values for all selected state

statements are displayed. You can edit these
statements. You cannot insert function values where
no values have been defined in the “parent”.

Click the button to edit or insert an alarm

reason for the function value.
A list of alarm reasons to choose from is given.

Click “Cancel” to cancel input. Click “OK” to accept

input.

- Select definition
The definition statement selected can be replaced by another definition statement by clicking the “Select”
button.

- Delete definition
You can delete the selected definition statement using the “Delete” button. The deleted state is filtered
(i.e. the state of the I/O device type is not transmitted to WINMAG plus by the detected).

Click “OK” to accept changes and close the dialogue box. Click “Cancel” to cancel changes and close the
dialogue box.

If you close the dialogue box by clicking the window corner button, changes are not accepted.

5.11.4 Delete user-defined I/O device type

Click the “Delete” button to delete a selected I/O device type.

You can only delete a I/O device type when it is not being used, i.e. no I/O device is allocated.

You can only delete user-defined I/O device types.

5.12 Edit alarm reasons

An alarm reason is an additional attribute that can be associated with each message received. Thus, messages
can be classified and evaluated correspondingly. Default triggering conditions check the alarm reason of the
messages received. Alarm reasons can in turn be combined in alarm types. Each alarm type appears as a
separate tab in the alarm stack, program log and in the list of manual programs.
Alarm reasons are configured to function values by editing the I/O device types.
Pre-defined alarm reasons and alarm types are used by default but can be re-named. No records can be
deleted.

Select “Edit alarm reasons” from the “System configuration” menu bar. This invokes a dialogue box
permitting you to view and edit alarm reasons and alarm types.

The “Select alarm reason” dialogue box appears displaying all alarm types and alarm reasons stored in the

5.21.1 General graphic edit mode

If you have not selected an option from the “Edit graphics toolbar”, the system operates in general graphics edit
mode. You can edit all available graphical elements as well as the graphics backdrop.

To permit you to edit a graphic in general edit mode, the graphic to be edited must be visible on the
screen !
If you wish to edit a graphic object (symbol, drawing reference), you must first select it!
A positioning box surrounds the selected objects.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 75

Positioning box:

A black positioning box surrounds the selected object. The box has 8 square handles with which you can change
the size of the object. If you rest the cursor over a handle, the cursor changes into an arrow that indicates the
direction in which you can resize the object.
The handles displayed at the corners of an object permit you to resize (by dragging) the object. By dragging to
the opposite side/corner you can “flip” the object. The handles displayed at the side of a selected object permit
you to resize (by dragging) the side lines and thus also change the size of an object.

Selecting objects

You can select one or more objects. You can select an object by:

- Clicking the object (general edit mode) using the left mouse button

- You can select additional objects by keeping the “SHIFT” key pressed down whilst clicking on more
objects. All selected objects have a positioning box.

- Dragging a box around one or more objects. Define the size of the box by way of 2 diagonally opposed
points. Define the first point by pressing the left mouse button. A dotted box appears between the first
“click” point and the point at which the cursor is actually positioned. This dotted box appears when you
keep the mouse button pressed. After you have released the mouse button, all the objects within the box
are selected.

Click on the object again to “undo” the selection. If you have selected some objects and you select other objects
without pressing the “SHIFT” key, you “undo” selection of the objects first selected.

[Link] Change backdrop

You can change the graphic’s backdrop by positioning the cursor on the backdrop and double clicking the left
mouse button.

The “Change backdrop” dialogue box appears.

You can now select any drawing from any directory.

If the “Display preview” check box is active, the

drawing is displayed in the preview window. The most
important drawing parameters such as width/ height
(pixel) colour and file size are also shown.

If the check box “auto re-size backdrop to match

window” is active, the drawing selected is stretched to
fit into the drawing window available. Note: in this
mode changes in width/height ratio could occur. If this
check box is not active, the drawing is shown with
correct width/height ratio (this may mean that a white
“margin” is sometimes displayed around the backdrop).

Select the drawing by clicking on it or enter the name

of the drawing in the “File name” field. Click “Open” to
change the backdrop drawing to the one selected.
76 Programming manual WINMAG plus

All objects included in the graphic are saved together with the background-related coordinates.
If you change the size of the drawing background, the position of the graphic elements will also be
changed.
If the position of an object is not within the backdrop, the object is placed in the middle of the margin so
that at least half of the object is displayed. You can avoid this by making sure that the new drawing has
the same pixel size as the old drawing.

[Link] Move object

To be able to move an object you must select it.

If you position the cursor over a selected object, the cursor changes into a “move cross” . To move the object,
press the left mouse button and keep it pressed; the object can now be dragged to a new position by moving the
cursor. As you drag the object, a ghost outline of the object moves together with the mouse
pointer to the new position. Release the mouse button at the new position.
As well as single selected object, multiple object selections may be moved. In this case the objects maintain their
relative positions.

[Link] Edit object size

To change the size of an object, you must select it. The positioning box has 8 square handles with which you can
change the size of an object. If you rest the cursor over one of these handles the cursor changes into an arrow
that indicates the direction of changing size.

If you select one of the corner handles by pressing the left mouse button and keeping it pressed, you can move
the corner of the positioning box and thus change the size of the object. When you release the mouse button, the
size of the object will change.

If you select a side handle by keeping the left mouse button pressed, you can move the selected side of the box
and thus also resize an object. When you release the mouse button, the size of the object will change.

[Link] Dialogue box for change size or mouse actions

To invoke the “Change size / mouse actions” dialogue box you must first select an object.
Click the selected object using the right mouse button to invoke the dialogue box.

Here you can enter the width and height of a symbol in

pixels.
Active the “Flip horizontally” or “Flip vertically” check
boxes to flip the object at the main pivot (middle)
Click the “Default” button to set the object to the
default size defined (normally 32*32 pixels).
Click the “Make default” button to define the active size
settings as the default. The value that you have defined
as default remains set until WINMAG plus is re-started.
All newly inserted symbols and drawing references are
placed using this setting. If WINMAG plus is re-started,
the default setting reverts to 32*32 pixel.

Note: If multiple objects are selected any changes made in this dialogue box are applied to all objects selected!

[Link] Edit object properties

To permit you to edit an object’s properties, you must first select the object. Double click within the marked object
using the left mouse button. You can now change the object properties:
- If you have selected a symbol, the “Edit symbol” dialogue box appears permitting you to change the
symbol and the I/O device .
- If you have selected a drawing reference, you can edit the colour of the reference frame.
The associated graphic cannot be changed .
Programming manual WINMAG plus 77

[Link] Adding graphics in favorites list

A drawing/graphic can be added to the favorites list of the graphic tree. To copy a object to the favorites list, it
must be marked. To do this click on the desired image with the right mouse button and select in the object
dialog the feature "Mark as favorite". To remove the graphic from the favorites list of the image tree, proceed
same way and choose again the feature "Mark as favorite" in the object dialog box.

5.21.2 Insert "rectangle" graphic reference

A graphic reference is displayed by way of a colored or a transparent box. All graphic used by WINMAG
plus must be included in the “graphic tree” by which a graphic reference in a parent graphic points to
another graphic in the structure. This “parent/child” relationship creates the tree-like structure. A graphic
backdrop drawing must be available before you can insert a graphic reference.

To insert a graphic reference you must first display the parent graphic into which you would like to insert the
drawing reference You can do this clicking on the required graphic in the tree, by clicking through graphic
references (in test mode) or via the “Display graphic” dialogue box by clicking the drawing background using the
right mouse button.

After you have clicked the “Insert graphic reference” button, the cursor changes and the “Graphic
reference cursor” appears whenever the mouse cursor is moved over the graphic window.

Now you can define a graphic reference by clicking at the required centre of the graphic reference box using the
left mouse button. You have now created a graphic reference (default size).
Now you must select the “child” drawing via the “Select next graphic” dialogue box:

All WINMAG plus drawings must be available in bit

map format and may include any number of colors.
Graphics in dwg format (up to Autocad 2002) are
automatically transformed to bmp format.
Drawings can be selected from any folder. The path to
the file is defined in the database. The drawings from
the directory \ZEICH do not need a path extension.
The file itself is not included in the database. You can
overwrite it at any time with a new version.
The dialogue box allows you to display a preview of the
drawing together with the size parameters.
The check box “auto re-size backdrop to match window
” defines the appearance of the backdrop within the
graphic window. If this check box is active, the drawing
is stretched to completely fill the current window
available window. This makes optimum use of the
window space but could lead to distortion. If this check
box is not active (default), the drawing is fitted (ratio-
correct) into the window. This could cause the
displaying of white margins (depending on window
size).

You must then select the frame colour as well as the flash colour from
the colour dialogue box:
You can select a colour from the colours available by clicking the colour
desired or you can define your own colour by clicking the “Define
custom colour” option.
If you define the colour white (white is displayed as a transparent
button), the graphic reference flashes white and red.
With all other colours, the graphic reference flashes red and the active
colour

A red frame colour with red flash colour does not seem to flash!

After you have clicked “OK” the graphic reference is displayed in default
size and in the colour selected.
You can edit the size and the colour via the general edit functions - to
do this you must deactivate the “Insert graphic reference” button.
You can go to the newly inserted drawing via the “Display graphic”
dialogue box (click of the right mouse button) or by clicking on the
graphic reference in test mode.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 79

Ways of editing graphic references:

- Change size by selecting a graphic reference and dragging the positioning box
- Change of absolute size via the “Change size” dialogue box (click right mouse button when graphic
reference is selected)
- Change colour of graphic reference by double clicking selected reference.
- Selected graphic references can be moved within the graphic. Press the left mouse button whilst the
cursor is over a selected graphic reference and keep it pressed whilst dragging the mouse to the new
position.
- Position and size alignment of several selected references using the “Align...” buttons.
- If you would like to move selected references to another graphic, select the appropriate function from the
“Edit” menu.
- “Cut” to move symbols or references to a new graphic
- “Copy” to copy symbols or references.

You can change the backdrop for a graphic by double-clicking on the backdrop when in general edit mode. Do
not execute the double click whilst the cursor is resting over a symbol or drawing reference, otherwise you will
goto special edit functions of the graphic element. You can also click with the right-mouse button on the graphic
in the tree then select “Change backdrop”.
If symbols are already positioned on the graphic, they are still displayed on the changed backdrop.

IMPORTANT to be observed when changing drawing size! The position of a symbol is saved in absolute
coordinates. If the resolution is changed, the symbols will appear an another position in the window.

You can go to the newly inserted graphic via the tree, the “Display graphic” dialogue box (click of the right mouse
button) or by clicking on the graphic reference in test mode.

Transparent boxes (white) are displayed shaded in edit mode so that they can be easily seen and placed.

Detector tracing

In an alarm program, if a displayed graphic contains a reference to another graphic that contains a symbol for
the I/O device that activated the program, then that graphic reference will flash between red and the colour of the
graphic reference. This continues right back though the tree structure and allows the location of a detector to be
easily traced.
- No flashing if a graphic reference is red
- Transparent graphic references flash between from red to white.

Video backdrop

In WINMAG plus you can show live video in a window. A video window is displayed according to the settings
made in the [Link] file to the backdrop [Link] (pay attention to the spelling).

To display the video window your PC must be equipped accordingly (video input).
Only one video window can be displayed in WINMAG plus.

WINMAG plus can control matrix switchers. In order to do this it must be possible to control the matrix switchers
from the outside (usually via a serial interface).
Video control is executed via the usual I/O device system. You must create a I/O device list for the matrix
switcher connected and you must install a driver for the connected video system.

Example: - Honeywell Maxpro series

- I/O devices for camera connection to a monitor
- Camera control (swivel, tilt, zoom, focus)
- Sequences
- Error messages

5.21.3 Insert image reference "Polygon"

In principle, the function insert image reference "Polygon" is virtually the same function as insert
image reference “Rectangle". The only difference is that for the image reference a freely
definable polygonal area can be created and not a rectangular area. For detailed information on
inserting the image reference and allocation of the display colours, refer to "5.21.2 Insert/edit
image reference" Rectangle".

Determine the polygonal area after allocating the desired drawing/graphics and determining the
display colour.

The first line of the polygon starts at the point that was clicked
in the drawing/graphics. To facilitate drawing, the line is hooked
to the tip of the cursor. Click the end point of the first line.
Repeat this procedure until you have drawn the polygon.

Important: The polygon curve must be moved back to the

starting point and the polygon closed.

5.21.4 Edit image reference "Polygon"

Click the function button to change the shape of the cursor

To select the polygon, click an node. Nodes are the points at

which a new partial line begins. In the drawing/graphics all
existing nodes of the polygon are displayed by small squares.

If you want to move a node, click the desired node (left mouse
button) with the tip of the cursor and keep the mouse button
depressed. The node can now be moved to a new position.
Release the mouse button at the desired position.

If you wish to move the entire polygon, click a line of the

polygon and keep the mouse button depressed while moving.
Release the mouse button at the desired position.

5.21.5 Insert/edit symbols

A symbol is the graphical representation of an I/O device. Before you can place a symbol, you must
have created the I/O device in the network configuration. Before you are able to insert a symbol you
must create a graphic on which to place it.

First of all, you must display the graphic in which symbols are to be placed. The graphic can be selected from the
tree or the “Display graphic” dialogue box by clicking the right mouse button.

[Link] Edit symbol dialogue box

After you have clicked the “Insert symbol” button the cursor changes shape and the “Symbol cursor”
appears (a drawing background must be available).

The “Edit symbol” dialogue box appears to allow placement of I/O devices or text symbols.:

graphics. If the I/O device is triggered, this text information is displayed
in addition to the symbol.
"with I/O device name" The name of the corresponding I/O device is included in the graphics. If
the I/O device is triggered, this text information is displayed in addition
to the symbol.

Symbol list
All symbols are displayed as a drawing with 32*32 pixel. This is also the standard size which can be altered in
the symbol size dialog. The next column shows the symbol ID from the database and the name of the symbol.
Click the column heading to arrange the column contents accordingly. Click again to switch between ascending
and descending order. The selected symbol line is highlighted.
The structure of a symbol is closely linked to that of the I/O device. If symbols and I/O devices that do no match
are linked under “Display all symbols", pay close attention to the structures!
After selecting an I/O device and a symbol, place a symbol by setting the left mouse button in the middle of the
symbol. The next symbol position can be set immediately when the automatic I/O device step to next is
activated. If the I/O device type remains the same, the last selected symbol type is selected. The symbol is
displayed in the current standard size. As long as the positioning frame is displayed, the position and size of the
symbol placed last can be changed.
The selection dialog does not close, so that another symbol can be placed immediately with the current settings.

Programming manual WINMAG plus 83

[Link] Symbol configuration

Symbols are composed of layers of drawings. Each symbol has a text label describing the drawing layer that is
displayed with a specific combination of state and function values.

For example:
Door symbol for a group I/O device of the MB100:
Status 0 Function value 0 “OK” shows closed door
Status 0 Function value 1 “ triggered” shows open door
Alarm 1 Function value 1 “ON” display red highlight around door

Every state always has a function value. This ensures that a drawing is always visible for the symbol by
allocating a drawing layer for every status function value combination.

If a symbol should only be displayed under certain conditions (e.g. alarm text only when an alarm is triggered),
then you must only allocate a drawing for the status function value combinations required.
When designing symbols you must ensure that layers are configured to match in the state sequence of the I/O
device definition. The layesr for higher state values are displayed on top of the layers for lower state values (i.e.
a layer drawing for state 7 will be displayed on top of the layer drawings for states 0-6 and may obscure them). If
some parts of the layer drawings for lower states must shine through you must use the colour white (which is
interpreted as transparent when the symbol is displayed).
All layer drawings must be saved as a .BMP file in the “Layer” directory.
The largest layer defines the size of the symbol, the positioning frame indicates the maximum size.

A symbol is defined in the database in 3 tables

- “Symbols” Defines the names of symbols and I/O device types for which a symbol is valid
- “Symbol layer” Specifies the layer drawings to use for each state function value
- “Symbol definitions” Links symbols with symbol layers, includes all layer items fort every symbol

[Link] Edit symbol configuration

If you cannot find a suitable symbol, you can create other symbols or edit existing symbols.
Possibilities:
- Change the symbol configuration in the “System configuration “ option “Edit symbol”. Here you can copy
existing symbols and edit them to your requirements. Here you can allocate layer drawings to state
function values.
- Editing / creating layer drawings in the layer directory (e.g. using “Paint”). Please note that layers are
usually not only used in one symbol but in several symbols. Thus, changing one layer drawing can also
affect other symbols.

In the system configuration function “Edit symbols” the symbol can be previewed with all combinations of layer
drawings enabling you to check the design of your symbols.

Changing symbol sizes

Each symbol can be assigned a size. Mark the symbol and activate the context menu with the right-hand mouse
button. Then select “Edit size or symbol actions”. The following dialogue then appears:

The dialogue has 2 tabs, "Change size" and "Actions".

Select the "Change size" pad. Enter the width and
height in pixel.

Standard values for the marked symbol are imported

with the “Standard” button.

The values entered are imported as standard values

with the “As standard” button.

The “Mirror horizontally”, “Mirror vertically” and “Moving

symbol” control boxes assign characteristics to the
symbol.

Moved symbol

In the case of moving symbols, the symbol is assigned virtual

coordinates. The symbol is thus assigned the motion data on the
background graphic.

The first X and Y coordinates determine the starting point of the

movement. The second X and Y coordinates determine the end point of
the (partial) movement.

String arrangements of further coordinates determine the entire

movement of the symbol on the background graphic. The second
coordinate of a partial movement always corresponds to the first
coordinate of the next partial movement in this respect.
90 Programming manual WINMAG plus

Symbol - allocate actions

You can allocate various actions to a symbol. Such actions can be linked to the clicking of the right or left mouse
button.
The possible actions are:
- no action - default right mouse button
- display menu (symbol info menu) - default left mouse button
- change graphic (allocate drawing reference)
- start SIAS pop-up program (immediately executed SIAS program in own window)
- start SIAS macro (immediately execute SIAS macro in background processing without screen output)

To invoke the “Mouse actions” dialogue box you must first select the symbol. Click the selected symbol using the
right mouse button to invoke the “Change size / mouse action” dialogue box.
This dialogue box has two tabs, i.e. “Change size” and “Mouse actions”. Select the “Mouse actions” tab to
display the tab showing the actions allocated.

Default setting is left mouse button “menu” and right

mouse button “no action”.
The following actions are available for each mouse
button:

Depending upon the action selected, additional parameters may be required.

You can change these by clicking the button.

If you have selected the “Change graphic” action the “Display graphic”
dialogue box opens and you can select the required graphic from the
list of drawings contained in the tree structure. Click “OK” to accept the
selected graphic.

If an action from the “SIAS program group” is

activated, a window of the defined actions
(popups) or a list of the defined macros is
displayed.

After selecting an action or a macro, the

corresponding file name in the window next to
the box “Select file” is accepted.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 91

After clicking the box “Select file” a list of the “SIAS programs” with the ending .wxe or a list of the macros with
the ending .wxm appears.

If you have selected the “Start SIAS pop-up program” action the “Open
file” dialogue box is invoked that displays all files with the extension
.EFF. Click “OK” to accept the selected file. Please note that a pop-up
program must include a “size” command, otherwise the pop-up window
will be displayed in a very small window. The symbol properties are
passed as parameters.

If you have selected the “Start SIAS macro” action the “Open file” dialogue box is invoked that displays all files
with the extension .EFM. Click “OK” to accept the selected file.

Please note that a program that has been started as a macro runs
hidden in the background. The symbol properties are passed as
parameters.

Configuring text symbols

Text symbols can be configured further for size changes and action assignment.
To configure a text symbol, mark the symbol for this and activate the context menu with the right-hand mouse
button. Then select “Edit size or symbol actions”. The following dialogue then appears:

The dialogue has 3 tabs, "Change size", "Actions" and

an additional “Configure text symbol” tab.
Select the font type, colour and background colour for
the text field.
The font transparency and the transparency of the
background can also be selected. 0 is equivalent to
complete transparency in this respect. Transparency is
no longer evident if the value 255 is selected.

The layout of a text symbol is determined in the field “Message text”. The text symbol may contain:
• constant text (eg. floor plan building 12)
• variables marked witht < > eg. <mp_name>
• combinations of text and variables eg. <mp_id1> / <mp_id2>

Variables:
<graphic_text> (preset value) shows a text which is assigned with the SIAS command
“put_graphic_text(mp)=text”.

Text assignment is realised with the SIAS command “put_graphic_text(mp)=text” and the text field
properties are equivalent to an I/O point. These texts must be reallocated after restarting WINMAG plus!

I/O related variables contain information like <mp_name>, <mp_id1>, <mp_id2>, <mp_nr>,
<mp_text>,<obj_name>,<station_name>,<station_nr>,<picture_name>,<parent_name>.

Alarm related variables only turn up in the three alarm graphics of a SIAS-program.
<a_mp_name>, <a_mp_id1>, <a_mp_id2>, <a_mp_text>, <a_fkt_name>, <a_state_name>,<arrival>,
<a_mp_text1..5>, <a_net>, <a_obj_name>.
92 Programming manual WINMAG plus

5.21.12 Delete symbol

To be able to delete a symbol you must first select it.
Press the “Delete” key to delete all selected objects. Before the delete function is executed, the system asks you
to confirm that you really want to delete.

5.21.13 Test button

By pressing the “Test” button you enter “Test mode”. In test mode all drawing references and symbols
become fully active to allow testing without having to leave the graphic editing environment.

When in test mode:

- Click with the left mouse button:

- A drawing reference leads to the sub-drawing
- A symbol shows the symbol edit dialogue box including network, object, detector names, control
functions and drawing selection.

If you rest the pointer over a symbol or drawing reference the quick info appears.

The system is still in edit mode. Triggering conditions are not processed so that controls or simulation
executed in test mode do not lead to start of programs.

5.21.14 Graphic tree context menu

If the “Edit graphic tree” function is active you can also perform certain functions via the context menu of the tree
structure.

Depending upon the option selected, you can:

- Delete graphic Delete the selected graphic and all elements placed on it
- Cut graphic Select a graphic and graphic elements. Paste by selecting another graphic and
clicking “Paste”. The drawing is inserted as a child of the selected graphic in the
tree structure and deleted at the old position.
- Copy graphic Select a graphic and graphic elements. Copy by selecting another graphic and
clicking “Paste”. The drawing is inserted as a child of the selected graphic in the
tree structure.
- Paste graphic Insert a graphic as a child of the selected graphic (after using the “Cut” or
“Copy” command)
- Change backdrop Change the backdrop drawing of the selected graphic.

6. External programming functions

External programming functions are executed via other programs (i.e. these cannot be edited within WINMAG
plus).
These include:
! The SIAS editor “SIASEDIT”
! Database editors such as Microsoft ACCESS runtime version or Microsoft ACCESS full time version.
! Database service program “WDB_Util”
! Windows system setup programs
! Database program Microsoft ACCESS
! Graphic editors for creating/maintaining backdrops

6.1 SIAS
SIAS = Security Application Language is an Honeywell-specific programming language for configuring user-
specific alarm and message programs. SIAS is a very simple programming language using less than 100
commands and thus very easy to learn.
The SIAS editor supports you when you are creating SIAS programs by way of “Assistants” that request the user
all necessary parameters for a command.

All SIAS files are included in the WINMAG plus subdirectory Winmagex and its subdirectories.

There are 2 types of files available:

! Source files with the file extension .eff or .efm.
Source files are written in RTF format and thus can be edited using various types of editors.
The RTF file comprises a mixture of text, objects and SIAS instructions
SIAS instructions are identified by triple brackets <<<SIAS instructions>>>.
! Runtime files have the extension .wxe or .wxm. Runtime files are compiled source files. Compilation
can only be effected using SIASEDIT. WINMAG plus operates with these files.

WINMAG plus distinguishes between two types or programs. When you create a file WINMAG plus asks which
type of program is to be created. These two types of programs can be distinguished by way of different file
extensions.

SIAS programs use the extensions .eff and .wxe

SIAS macros use the extension .efm and .wxm.

SIAS programs can be executed as an alarm program in the program work window corresponding to a
message in the alarm stack. A SIAS program can also be executed as a pop-up program. Pop-up programs are
activated manually by the user and are not subject to stack control. These programs are immediately executed.

Macros run in the background and are not output at the user interface. These programs are not subject to stack
control and are immediately executed.
94 Programming manual WINMAG plus

6.1.1 The SIAS editor

The SIASEDIT program allows the editing and translating of SIAS programs. SIASEDIT is an extended Microsoft
Wordpad Editor, into which assistants and compilation are integrated.

The Honeywell specific extensions are included in the menus ”Insert”, “Build” and “Font”.

The buttons for these functions are integrated in the tool bar.

- Insert / Command
- Test view
- Build / Compile

The Editor processes .rtf files.

These files include:

! formatted text.

! SIAS instructions in <<< command >>> brackets. SIAS commands are displayed in a specific font (by
default they are displayed in pink). You can re-define the font used via the “Font” menu using the
“Highlight font” command.

! Objects, usually SIAS controls. SIAS controls are separate applications that can communicate with the
SIAS program via variables and settings.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 95

6.1.2 SIASEDIT extensions

Extensions to wordpad are included as commands in the menus Insert, Build and Format.

The “Command” option for inserting SIAS commands

After you have selected the Insert / Command option or clicked the “Insert” button the “Command insert”
dialogue box appears from which you can insert the selected SIAS command directly into your file or via
assistants.

The dialogue box contains an alphabetic list of SIAS

commands. After you have selected a command you can:

- Directly insert the command by clicking “ Apply Now”.

- If assistants are available, you can complete the
command with the help of assistants (only available
when the command parameter is set).

If you are using the SIAS language for the first time, we
recommend the use of assistants.

The command syntax is displayed at the bottom of the dialogue

box.
You can exit the dialogue box by clicking “EXIT”.

“Apply now” button

If the command is directly applied, the “Insert” option inserts the command in the source file at the active cursor
position.

You can only insert a command when the cursor is not in the SIAS command line (i.e. with <<< >>>) !
-> You cannot nest a command via the “Insert” menu.

“Assistant” button

If an assistant is available for the command, you can call it by clicking the “Assistant” button. A series of
dialogue boxes, appropriate to the selected command, will then be displayed. Generally, the “Assistant” will
request all necessary parameters of a command. The complete command will then be inserted at the active
cursor position.
96 Programming manual WINMAG plus

SIAS Controls...

SIAS controls are components that can be integrated in

the SIAS syntax. Generally, these are small user
applications that can exchange data with the SIAS
program.

After you have selected this option, you can select a

component from the list of controls available.

Button Button that can be displayed with any text or picture. A variable
can be allocated to the button which takes the value of the text
in the button when it has been clicked.
Variable type string
Value text of selected button

Checkbox Checkbox that, when activated, displays the time when it was
last checked. Once the checkbox has been checked the
program continues executing.

Combo Combo box that displays a list of options. You can select an
option from this list

Edit Input field where you can enter free text.

Variable type string
Value text

Edit multiline Edit several lines

Variable type string
Value text

Listbox List of alternative options from which the user can select one.
Variable type string
Value selected text

PWDEdit Input field that displays the input text with stars or vertical lines
(Windows XP)
Variable type: String
Value: Text (Password control)

Yes No Decision control for user programs. The user can only select
one of these buttons. A variable can be allocated which
contains the text of the button chosen.

All control selections can be transferred to WINMAG plus via variable data that can be individually evaluated.
You can configure controls via the “Properties” menu (e.g. fonts, highlighting colour, allocated texts, selection
lists, click behaviour, ...). This can be found by right-clicking on the control.
You can assign values to the controls with the SIAS command <<<set_control_text(variable/"Text")>>>. This
command takes effect to the last control before the command.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 97

Customized controls

You can also create your own controls e.g. using Visual Basic or Visual C.
To enable WINMAG plus to use these controls,

! the name must include “SIAS” at arbitrary position, e.g. “SIASYesNoControl”

! they must be registered at the computer (regvr32, see also 7.1)
! the necessary DLLs must be installed.

The communication between the control and the SIAS program occurs by predetermined variables.
Event:
‘SetVariable’ VariableName as string
Value as string
‘OK’ without parameter
in Code: RaiseEvent OK

For the action control a property-page should be created with the parameters:
‘Frozen’ boolean Default False
‘InputOK’ boolean Default False
Name of Variable

Build / Compile

SIASEDIT includes a compiler that permits you to create WINMAG plus runtime programs from SIAS source files
with the extensions .eff or .efm.
During compilation, the syntax of the program is checked and, if an error occurs, a message is displayed. The
incorrect SIAS-block is marked. Incorrect sources are not compiled to runtime programs.

You can start compilation by executing the command “Compile” in the “Build” menu or by clicking the
compile button.

The compilation of the file ‘[Link]’ is particularly critical as this file is usually always being processed and
thus cannot be compiled whilst WINMAG plus is running.
Execution of the [Link] program is interrupted if
‚ WINMAG plus is in editing mode
‚ WINMAG plus is not running

Execution of the file is displayed in the WINMAG plus footer line.

‘AUSBED’ is being executed and cannot be translated

AUSBED’ is not being executed and can be translated

If translation is effected with no errors, the message “no errors” is displayed. Otherwise, an error message
appears.
When a compilation has been executed with no errors the source (.eff or .efm) and runtime (.wxe or .wxm) files
are automatically saved.
98 Programming manual WINMAG plus

6.1.3 Important SIAS programs

A number of WINMAG plus SIAS programs are supplied together with WINMAG plus. These programs serve as
examples for your own applications or are absolutely necessary for the operation of the system.

The most important SIAS programs:

[Link]/EFF
This file is the backbone of alarm processing. It is responsible for triggering all alarm programs.
The program ‘AUSBED’ is a very special program in WINMAG plus as it is always executed. The
triggering
conditions are programmed in a loop

(while (1) GETPARAMETER... conditions... endwhile

All new triggering conditions must be integrated in this file.

In addition to triggering conditions, ‘AUSBED’ also includes all programs that you can start manually as
well as time dependent processes.

If you would like to compile a program it must not be in use. As ‘AUSBED’ is continuously being
executed, it can only be compiled when
- WINMAG plus is not running or
- when WINMAG plus is in edit mode (in which case, the execution of ‘AUSBED’ is interrupted).

[Link]/EFF
‘MANUELL’ is called in ‘AUSBED’ prior to the “While” loop and adds all of the programs that can be
manually started to the “Manual programs” list.

[Link]/EFF
‘ALARM’ is a standard alarm program that can be started with virtually all triggering conditions.
‘ALARM’ includes a standard alarm sequence that you can adapt to your own requirements. This usually
means you must remove code from the program.

[Link]/EFF
‘FIREALARM’ is a standard alarm program specifically designed for use with fire triggering conditions.
‘FIREALARM’ is a very simple program that displays a minimum of information that you can adapt to
your own requirements. This may means you must add code to the program. This works together with
the ‘EXTRA_INFO” program which can be modified to include extra instructions to the user.

[Link]/EFF
‘DEMO’ is a welcome program that is automatically started after you have installed WINMAG plus. It
permits the simulation of various alarms such as fire and intruder alarms.
The program is called in the ‘[Link]’ file (in front of alarm processing loop). It always starts
when ‘AUSBED’ starts i.e. after the start of WINMAG plus or after exiting the edit mode.
If this program should not start again, you can delete the line <<<exec (demo,1,6)>>> in ‘AUSBED’ or
you can place this line in comment brackets { }.

[Link]/EFF
‘TEST’ includes virtually all SIAS commands so that you can view their impact on the screen.
You can start ‘TEST’ via the demo loop or you can call it up manually.

[Link]/EFF
‘MELDERNA’ is a program that is used as “call” in many other programs.
It displays variables, networks, objects and detector names on the screen.

The SIAS variables, SIAS commands and SIAS operators are listed in the documentation
"Technical description - SIAS Commands" (P03126-15-0G0xx)
Programming manual WINMAG plus 99

6.1.4 Toolhandler
In the WINMAG plus menu the pulldown menu “Tools” is available. In this menu user-defined SIAS programs
(macros or pop-ups) can be called. As standard 10 tools are included. Tool1 to tool3 are delivered as samples.
For allocation of the further tools a SIAS macro and if desired also an icon must be associated to each tool.

The allocation defined here by SIAS programs have a lower priority than the allocations in the Edit
System Configuration menu "External Tools”.

To choose the tool you must select “Edit SIAS macros” in the system configuration.

Now mark the desired toolhandler and then actuate the button “Edit”. The SIAS program editor will appear for
editing the macros.
When actuating the button “Insert” the window “Safe as” appears with the preselected directory Winmagex.
Insert the name of the desired tollhandler. After saving the SIAS program editor will also appear for editing the
macros.

Allocation of an icon
It is possible to allocate a special icon to each tool.
The name of the icon i. e. toolhandler6 must be “tool6”.
The icon must have the dimension of 32x32 pixel und must be saved in the graphic format .bmp. The memory
location is the WINMAG plus directory Icons.
If these preconditions are fulfilled the corresponding icon is allocated automatically and is shown in the WINMAG
plus pulldown menu “Tools”.
100 Programming manual WINMAG plus

6.2 Notification
6.2.1 General information to the option notification
Notification is an option extension that can be enabled via the dongle. This option enables SMS, fax, voicemails
or emails to be transmitted from WINMAG plus.

The option – notification – is integrated in the WINMAG plus installation as a component.

Notification runs as a driver, the description on configuring this option, see the WINMAG plus interface
description / driver documentation.

6.3 Database service program

From WINMAG version 3.0 a database service program is also supplied. You can directly call this program from
the WINMAG plus program group via the “Database service” menu.
The program can repair, compress and update the databases used by WINMAG plus. The program has
exclusive access to all databases. WINMAG plus or SIASEDIT cannot be executed at the same time.
The program has also access to databases in own directory. For executing the update function, the new
database ([Link]) must be placed in the WINMAG plus sub-directory “Update” and the database to be
processed is placed in the WINMAG plus directory.

After you have called the program, select the required program option (check box) and click the “Finish” button.

Possible program functions:

! repair of a defective database
! compressing of a database (the database grows with operation as the space of deleted records is only
recovered upon compressing)
! Update of the current version (with or without overwriting of all standard system symbol actions). These
options are only possible when the service program identifies a non-updated database. It can be
updated from any database version prior to V3.00.

After the operation has been started a “wait” window with animation appears. Depending upon the action
selected, the execution of the service could take several minutes. You must acknowledge the action selected by
clicking “OK”.
Programming manual WINMAG plus 101

The program actions can also be started from an externally controlled process. You can select via start
parameters which options are to be executed and whether operation of the program should be closed
(without acknowledgement of error message ) if erroneous operation occurs. Error messages must normally be
acknowledged.

Possible start parameters:

- cp compress log database
- rp repair log database
- cs compress system database
- rs repair system database
-u execute update from version X to current version
-x close on error
The parameter x can be combined with other parameters
Example: WDB UTIL -cp-x automatically executes compressing of the log database and
closes with erroneous operation.

6.4 Windows system settings

The Windows system settings permanently influence the appearance of the WINMAG plus display.
Thus, we recommend the following settings:

! Display settings
Colour palette High Colour (16 bit) = 65536 colours
To ensure simultaneous output of 2 different 256-colour graphics

Resolution 1024 * 768 pixel

The higher the screen resolution the greater the size of the work window
(proportionally) i.e. header and footer become relatively narrower

Character size Small fonts

Only small fonts ensure the complete display of 2 lines for object and detector in
the header of the alarm window.

Screen saver [none]

With most screen savers it cannot be ensured that WINMAG plus can
deactivate a screen saver upon the starting of an alarm program. Moroever,
after a certain period of time a screen saver would cover the display of an alarm
picture!
If a screen saver is to be assigned, we recommended to use the WINMAG plus
screen saver “WINMAG plus SCREEN SAVER” as only this screen saver
guarantees coordinated operation (no overlaying of alarm programs, reliable
deactivation).

! Display
The display of menus and dialogues can be edited to your own requirements via the option “System
control/Display. The settings then apply to all the Windows programs.

! Printer
In WINMAG plus you can only use those printers that you have installed in Windows.

! Multimedia
A sound card must be installed and setup for sound output. The sound card usually requires external
loud speakers.

! Power save mode

Please observe that when in “Power save” mode, the performance of the computer is reduced and is
only enhanced again after a keyboard input.
If the screen is deactivated, a program started in WINMAG plus will not be visible.
For reliable functioning of the entire system, deactivate all “Power save” mode functions.

7.2 Data safeguarding

In order to restore WINMAG plus files in the case of computer problems or editing failures, additional back-ups
should be made of customer-specific data and configuration files.
As the number of files is relatively large, we recommend storing the entire WINMAG plus-directory (without sub-
directory Prot) on an external data carrier or network drive.
We also recommend safeguarding data before performing extensive editing work.

The directory Prot can be stored using the additional program ExtProt. Detailed information can be found
in the Operating Instructions on WINMAG plus, Chapter "Logging of WINMAG plus -> Export/Import and
Backup".

7.3 Supplied drivers

Current information on the supplied drivers can be found in the file “[Link]” in the main directory of
WINMAG.

9. Appendix
9.1 Defined alarm types and alarm reasons
In WINMAG plus, you can define individual alarm types and allocated alarm reasons.
The alarm type (as superordinated category) defines the alarm type allocation stack and protocol into which a
message is entered. The alarm type is achieved by way of starting the program or by allocation of the alarm
reason. This allocation can be executed by way of starting the program or by way of allocation of the alarm
reason to the alarm type.

You can edit the list of alarm reasons and alarm types as required in the WINMAG database. You can allocate a
user-defined text to the system text.

9.3 System protocol types directory

For every protocol entry you can define:
- the output location
- monitor
- protocol printers 1, 2, 3
- in a protocol file
- time delay, i.e. how long the message is displayed

The “user-defined” messages are or great importance.

In the SIAS command “message”, you can define to which of the 10 possible numbers the message is to be
allocated.
The message can be determined from the log as per the allocation executed.

You can edit all of the message texts. The variables included in the message play an important role.
Do not edit these variables!

station (Master Station 1).

Enter the virtual address.

Enter the host name or IP address.

Step 2 (at the Master Station 1)

Change network configuration þ Local

(multistation) system þ Resourcen þ
Create a distributed system client.
Select with button <<< and take over
into the system configuration window.
118 Programming manual WINMAG plus

Step 3 (at the Master Station 1)

Enter the virtual address of the station 2.

Enter the host name or IP address of the station 2.

Step 4 (at the Master Station 1)

Set up the existing networks, which are

placed on the clients.

All the available networks on the master

station are in the list on the right side,
which the new distributed client can
choose as it´s own distributed network.

For example, we assign the video network to the client

(Station 2).
Programming manual WINMAG plus 119

Step 5 (at the Master Station 1)

Check the virtual address of the client on the master page.

The “virtual address” for data transmission remain empty.

station (at the client Station 2).

Enter the the virtual address, this must be the same number as
in the input field at the master in step 3.

Enter the host name or IP address of the station 2.

Step 2 (at the Client Station 2)

Create the video network as before on the master station.

The virtual address of the network must be the same number

as the virtual address for the network on the master station in
step 5.

The IP address or the host name must be the same as the host
name or IP address on the master station in step 1.
The virtual address for data transmission must be the same as
the virtual address of the master station in step 1.
120 Programming manual WINMAG plus

Step 3 (at the Client Station 2)

To use Winmag as a distributed client, please

create a shortcut for "[Link]" with the
start parameter “-c” (for client).

Please follow the steps above to create the short cut, and put it either in your appropriate folder or on the
windows desktop. Start this shortcut to start the distributed client.
