General description
The Central Unit for Alarm System (CUAS)
Evaluation Board is a complete reference system
addressing the low/middle end security segment.
STEVAL-IAC001V1
connected to the communication bus for the
system management and configuration (i.e. RFID
Keys, Smart Cards, Expansion Modules, GSM,
Keyboards, RF module …)
It is a complete hardware and software alarm
platform based on BUS network. The whole
system consists of four boards: CU board, CM
(Control Module) board, PS (Power Supply) board
and PC interface board. There is also a PC GUI
software which could be easily used in order to
set up all the CU parameters and execute certain
system tests.
Each zone of an alarm system can be configured,
logically regrouped, separately processed and
associated to a group of outputs in a different way.
The outputs are also configurable in terms of
timing, working mode and normal status (High or
Low).
It is possible to expand the system using I/O
Expansion boards (Inputs and Outputs
expansion), a GSM board, which the connector is
already in the CU Board (for the CU management
through a GSM telephone) and other modules
such as RF-ID, smart-card or Keyboard
connected through the BUS.
This CU consists of 8 zones by 8 zones directly
hardwired on the CU board, but it is possible to
expand the number of zones by connecting one or
more I/O Expansion module through the BUS;
There are seven hard-wired outputs:
four separately driven by a solid state relay (SSR VN340SP) which can deliver up to 1A for each
output, normally used for the sirens connection
and for external devices (auxiliary outputs), two
outputs are transistorized and typically used to
indicate the system status (alarm condition, CU
status, etc.), one output is a micro relay for a
general purpose use (i.e. for the connection of a
videotape, external GSM, etc.).
The Central Unit which can manage a certain
number of inputs (where are typically connected
the sensors and the detectors, called zones)
some outputs (where are connected devices like
sirens, indicators, etc) and some devices
Other special inputs are also available on the CU
board, such as the TAMPER line used to indicate

any system tampering; this line is normally connected in series with all the TAMPER input of
each sensor or device connected to the CU. A fire/smoke line is also present on the CU
board and is used to continuously monitor any fire or smoke sensor immediately signaling
any leak depending on line configuration, but independently of the CU status.
The system operates using a 4-wire communication bus (2 wires for power, 2 for
communication) using the RS-485 standard that guarantees good noise immunity.
