Sky-walker Components
Server
The Sky-Walker server software handles the communication
process between external systems (fire&intrusion detection, CCTV, access control, HVAC, lighting, traffic management, etc.) and the Sky-Walker graphical workstations.
The server software manages:
- events and alarms coming from external systems
- commands sent to external systems
- interactions between several external systems
Drivers
Drivers are software components establishing communication
between the external connected systems and the Sky-Walker
server. Any intelligent hardware can be integrated as long as
it provides:
- a communication port (RS232, RS485, Ethernet, Lon, etc.)
- a communication protocol (standards such as Lon, BacNet, ModBus, OPC, or any well defined API)
Graphical User Interface
The Graphical User Interface is the operator interface to visualize and control the connected subsystems.
It is independent of the controlled subsystems, communication links, and protocols. The Graphical User Interface consists out of several layers which are built up in a hierarchical manner. The top layer presents the global environment and the lower layers show the status of the specific objects it contains.
