  Differences between CM9001 and CM9000
Posted by: slychiu - 08-04-2019, 05:22 AM - Forum: CM9001 - Replies (3)





CM9001 PCB



CM9000 PCB

Power Supply
A major difference between  CM9001 and CM9000 is the use of a universal (90-260VAC to 15VDC 1.7A) switched power supply TT01-0022 with DC Output  instead of the old 15VAC Transformer (with AC Output). The new power supply can be used for all countries (with all the regulatory and safety approvals) and is much lighter, and is more efficient ie it takes much less current from the mains power supply compared to a transformer. The correct transformer /power supply MUST be used with the matching DSP Board ie Transformer with CM9000 DSP, power supply TT01-0022 with CM9001 DSP. Other than that the CM9001 and CM9000 CPU and DSP boards can be interchanged.



TT01-0022 DC Power Supply for CM9001




T230V Transformer for CM9000

CPU and DSP Boards
The CM9000 and CM9001 PCBs consist of 2 smaller PCBs connected by a connector in the middle. The CPU Board or left half include the microprocessor, the EEPROM and RS485 driver . The DSP board or right half includes the DSP, voice flash memory, and telephone interface. The reason for spliiting up the CM9000/CM9001 into 2 parts is to allow easier inventory control.

The CPU and DSP boards can be interchanged between CM9000 and CM9001, ie CPU from CM9000 and be connected to DSP from CM9001 and vice versa. However the restriction is that the DSP board must be connected to the appropriate power supply, ie CM9000 DSP with the old AC Transformer, and CM9001 DSP with the new Switched DC power supply.  The combination of CM9001 CPU with CM9000 DSP has a part designation, CM9000B which needs the AC transformer.





Firmware Compatibility
Comfort Firmware is the same for CM9000 and CM9001. Firmware can be upgraded to the latest.
Compatibility of other Modules

  • LEM01-M2, LEM02-M2, LEM03-M2 can be used with CM9001 and CM9000. LEM02B is a direct plug in on CM9001 so it cannot be mounted on  CM9000. LEM01-M2 should not be connected at the same time as LEM02B is plugged in.
  • All other RS485 Modules, eg Keypads, UCMs, TSM, IRIO are compatible with CM9000 and CM9001
  • SEM01-M2 and SEM01C can be used with both CM9000 and CM9001.
Replacements/Upgrade
CM9000 and CM9001 PCB mounting holes are the same so one can be replaced with the other in the metal box mounting. However the CM9001 uses a different power supply so replacement of CM9000 with CM9001 will need a new transformer as well. This should not be much of a problem since the new Power supply is light and small and can be mounted without difficulty even though ther may not be mounting holes in the old EN01 enclosure for the power supply.

  CM9001 Introduction
Posted by: slychiu - 08-04-2019, 03:24 AM - Forum: CM9001 - Replies (5)

The CM9001 is a new version of Comfort which replaces CM9000.






The main differences are

  • New Switching Power Supply 90V to 264 VAC, 15 VDC @1.8Amps, lightweight, safety approved, more efficient woith overvoltage, overcuttrent protection
  • OP03 plug-in Output Board with 600 mA DC output limit
  • Able to plug in ETH03 submodule directly. No need for separate UCM for Cytech App
  • Zone End-of-line Shunts are removed. The EOL setting (No EOL or Double EOL) is programmed in Comfigurator 3.12.x and above. This removes the problem caused by oxidation of the shunts after many years causing loss of contact, or shunts falling out, causing “Zone Trouble” alarms.  Important – UCM Minimum firmware is 7.098 to allow setting of EOL. 
  • Removed Local Telephone Control as this feature is not often used. Plug in new DSI Door Station Interface with Ringer allows Local Phone Control and Ringer for Door station.
  • Tamper Terminal with 3 pins to allow easy series connection of Tampers
  • LEM02B 8 input 0 output expansion can be plugged in on CM9001 without blocking connectors, switches, buttons, or LEDs
  • The X10 connector has been removed. X10 is no longer supported
Part Numbers
  • CM9001-ULT Comfort without enclosure without TT01-0022 switching power supply 90-264VAC 15VDC 1.8 A DC
  • EN01D Metal Enclosure 310 x 350 x 95 mm with TT01-0023  Switching power supply 90-264VAC 15VDC 1.8A Output
  • LEM02B Local Expansion Module 8 inputs no outputs, plug in to CM9001
  • DSI01 Door station Interface with Ringer and Local Telephone control for CM9001. Note that this is required for Local telephone to control Comfort.
  • ETH03 – plug in ethernet module for programming or Comfort apps
  • OP03 Output Driver submodule for CM9001

  Comfort Firmware 7.160 - 7.164
Posted by: slychiu - 07-28-2019, 07:49 AM - Forum: Comfort Firmware - Replies (1)

Comfort Firmware 7.160
Known Bugs

  • Force arm on partition using # key does not work always send to partition 0
  • Partitions do not work well with UCM log in with ETH03
  •  CT counter report – if counter response changes another counter value, the counter report for the changed counter has the same conter id as the original. So if KNX sends a counter update, counter response change another counter and the counter is reported to knx, the counter id remains as KNX ucm id so the KNX ignores the new counter report.
  • Upgrade CM9001 by ETH03 plug in. If reset occurs while upgrade, set baud rate for eth03 is not  done.
  • query_serialno bug in self id – sent serial no of Rs485 wrong. Broadcast serial no at reset instead of send serial no queries to id
  • Doorphone action 9  partition 1 spkr/mic are turned on for doorphone intercom instead of doorphone ID
  • From 7.159 increment counter, decrement counter actions did not return counter value as last action value so If action which follows uses the wrong value

Bugs Fixed
  • Fixed BUG For Partition Systems trouble alarms are registered into random partition and Restore may be registered to different partition so cannot acknowledge
Actions (Comfigurator 3.12.13)
  • Action 160 - switch S12V off time if time = 0, dont start timer for on time
  • Action 159, 0, 3 Convert  256 to 100 use fractional value and round off
  • Actions subtract parameters for Action 149, 3  (immediate), 149, 4 (counter), 149, 5 (sensor)
Event Log
  • Eventlog - command E?FF last event Fixed BUG did not work
  • For EMS sensor event log, if module which reported sensor has Communications Failure, set sensor value to 255 so KP04A display does not remain unchannged as last value reported, and causes alarm
Partitions
  • If there is no partition 0, trouble alarms report in lowest partition
  • For partition system turn off all keypad speakers first so only partition keypad can hear siren sound  and announcement
  • Fixed BUG For Partition Systems trouble alarms are registered into random partition and Restore may be registered to different partition so cannot acknowledge
Keypad
  • KP06A Keypad volume has max 100. KP06A volume is actually divided by 2
GSM
  • If an SMS dialout fails,  immediately go to the next dial without time out delay
Counters
  • The Counter Response is also activated when Comfort changes a Counter value. Eg by Responses/ Action codes or Control menu. Previously, Counter Response is avtivated only when the counter us changed by a UCM
CM9001-EMS Environmental Monitoring System
  • Support Fractional Values for KP04A display
  • For EMS sensor event log, if module which reported sensor has Communications Failure, set sensor value to 255 so KP04A display does not remain unchannged as last value reported, and causes alarm
  • Implemented Sensor calibration with Fractional value 1/16 for EMS
  • Sensors adjustment for scale fix bug for division
  • For EMS sensor event log, fixed BUG that sensors 9 onwards are not recorded correctly. Changed so that any sensor with counter assigned is recorded in event log every hour
  • Sensor Register calibration in eepron is 1/16 units to use calibration value with 1/16 unit calibration value from eeprom
Comfort Protocol
  • ETH03 plug in support UN command
  • s? s! Comands retiurn 3rd byte
  • For plug in eth03 for LGX, UCM/LOG, CM9001,   Sensor, Counter, Flag command will echo state eg C! Will  report CT
UCM/Logic, KNX/Logic
  •  No of Responses number from 1024 to 512 affect ucm/log, knx/logic
  •  Removed  x10 responses not used affect knx/logic and ucm/logic
  •  KNX/Logic saved nonvolatile counters increased from 8 to 32

  UCM/Pi (OLD VERSION)
Posted by: slychiu - 07-25-2019, 12:38 PM - Forum: UCM/Pi - Replies (4)

Please note that UCM/PI ino longer produced.It wll be replaced by UCMA/Pi


The UCM/Pi is a host adapter, linking a Raspberry Pi Industrial Compute Module 3/3+ (CM3) or compatible single board computer to the Cytech Comfort range of products. Benefiting from the tight integration with the Comfort system, the CM3 has a direct serial interface to the UCM and includes an optional hardware watchdog. The UCM may be powered by the Comfort system where it benefits from the battery backed up power supply.

The installer or user has the option of using software developed by alphaWerk which includes MQTT, Node-Red, OpenHab and HomeAssistant support or, with the technical documentation and operating system configuration provided, they may develop their own.


The UCM/PI Manual can be downloaded from   https://www.cytech.biz/product_details.php?item_id=513

Software installation instructions may be found here: https://github.com/alphawerk/UCMPi_Install

There is also an active slack community, to join please send a request to matt.brain@alphawerk.co.uk or via PM.

UCM/Pi is not able to upgrade its own firmware or upgrade vocabulary at this time. You need another UCM - USB, Wifi or Eth03.

Do not try to upgrade firmware or vocabulary otherwise it may corrupt the firmware or vocabulary

  Using Nighttime Flag
Posted by: darnold - 07-15-2019, 11:26 AM - Forum: Responses and Actions - Replies (5)

I have several Responses that use the NightTime flag to perform various tasks. For example:
If SecurityMode = AwayMode Then
    If NightTime <> 0 Then
        Do DynEXPrmtrOn ! Turn on Perimeter Lights
    End If
End If

However, the NightTime flag no longer appears to be working.  I am on a Comfort II running firmware 7.153 and UCM 7.110.
Do I need to define NightTIme as a flag?  I notice in the Sunrise/Sunset Time there are Night Time Properties.  Do I need to create/set the NightTime flag there or is it a global flag?

  Troubleshoot DM02
Posted by: darnold - 07-12-2019, 06:09 PM - Forum: Door Station Problems - Replies (2)

I have two DM02 boards in my ComfortII system.  They have worked fine for many years.  Recently I have had some strange behaviour on one of the DM02 boards.  
I wanted to see if there is a way to test that it is functioning properly or do I need to replace it.  
When I press the SW2 switch on the board it is very slow to respond.  Sometimes if fails to ring the telephone.  Before replacing it, I just want to make sure that the board is in fact bad.

  Different Doorbell Announcements
Posted by: darnold - 07-12-2019, 09:09 AM - Forum: Door Stations - Replies (4)

I have a ComfortII with two Door Stations...one located at the gate and the other on the front door.
Currently, when the button is pressed and you pickup the phone it says \"Doorbell One\" or \"Doorbell Two\" depending on which Door Station button was pressed.  Is there a way for it to say \"Front Door\" for Doorbell 1 and \"Entry Gate\" for Doorbell 2.
I assume I should modify the DoorphoneChime response?

  Comfigurator for Mac?
Posted by: jelockwood - 07-11-2019, 01:26 PM - Forum: Comfigurator - Replies (4)

Any plans to do a Mac version of Comfigurator?
The Mac is no longer an esoteric platform and Comfigurator has been around long enough to be stable so this seems like a logical step.
If it made life simpler a version which could only communicate via Ethernet and not USB would be acceptable.
