Honeywell and AxxonSoft Technology Partnership

Quick Overview and Key Benefits of the Honeywell + AxxonSoft Integration

Integration at a Glance

The Honeywell integration module connects Honeywell alarm panels and fire safety systems to Axxon PSIM, enabling centralized supervision of alarms, zones, partitions, and system states. Events from Esser by Honeywell fire alarm systems and Honeywell VISTA intruder alarm systems are received in real time and visualized within Axxon PSIM together with other connected security and safety subsystems.

The integration is software-based and designed for professional Honeywell security systems deployments where reliability, regulatory compliance, and centralized control are essential.

Key Advantages

• Unified alarm management — fire alarms, intrusion alarms, partitions, and zone states from Honeywell alarm systems are monitored from a single PSIM interface.
• Improved alarm response — centralized visualization enables faster alarm verification and consistent operator workflows.
• Scalable architecture — supports multi-panel, multi-zone, and multi-site security system Honeywell deployments.
• Professional fire alarm integration — direct integration with Esser by Honeywell fire alarm panels, widely used in regulated environments.
• Reduced operational complexity — operators manage multiple Honeywell security alarm systems without switching between standalone tools.

How It Works — Honeywell Fire & Intrusion Integration Architecture

Axxon PSIM connects to Honeywell alarm equipment through supported AxxonSoft integration modules and approved communication interfaces.

For Esser by Honeywell fire alarm systems, the integration uses the SEI2 communication module, which enables connection via RS232 to the Essernet network. Fire alarm control panels such as FlexES Control and IQ8Control transmit alarms and system status information into Axxon PSIM.

For Honeywell VISTA intrusion systems, Axxon PSIM receives zone-level and partition-level events from the intrusion alarm panel through a Honeywell server, enabling centralized monitoring of Honeywell intruder alarm activity.

Once connected, Axxon PSIM consolidates incoming events from Honeywell security systems into a unified event stream used for alarm display and acknowledgment within Axxon PSIM.

Honeywell Esser Fire Alarm Integration

The AxxonSoft Honeywell Esser integration module provides connectivity to Esser by Honeywell fire alarm control panels, including FlexES Control and IQ8Control.

These Honeywell alarm system panels operate as the primary fire detection and control layer, managing fire alarm logic and system states. Axxon PSIM does not replace the fire alarm control system; instead, it acts as a supervisory layer that receives and visualizes fire-related events and technical states in real time.

Panel-level data exposed to Axxon PSIM includes:

• Fire alarms and related system events.
• Faults and technical warnings.
• Panel status and communication states.
• System status indicators.

This architecture allows Axxon PSIM to supervise Honeywell fire alarm systems while preserving the autonomy of the fire alarm control panel.

Fire Alarm Monitoring & Control

Axxon PSIM receives fire alarm events from Honeywell alarm panels, allowing operators to:

• Monitor alarms and faults centrally.
• Receive event verification clips from associated cameras.
• Locate alarm zones on the map.
• Track panel and system states.
• Acknowledge and process alarms in real time.
• Coordinate alarm handling across sites.

All life-safety control logic remains on the Honeywell fire alarm panel, ensuring regulatory compliance.

Communication via SEI2 Module (RS232 → Essernet)

Integration is implemented using the SEI2 module, which bridges RS232 communication to the Essernet network:

1. The Honeywell Esser fire alarm panel outputs events via RS232.
2. The SEI2 module transfers data into the Essernet network.
3. Axxon PSIM connects to the Essernet interface.
4. Incoming messages are mapped to PSIM alarm objects.

This approach ensures reliable data exchange between Honeywell alarm equipment and Axxon PSIM.

Honeywell VISTA Intrusion System Integration

Axxon PSIM integrates with Honeywell VISTA SUPER II intrusion alarm systems at the zone and partition level, reflecting the internal structure of the Honeywell burglar alarm system.

Within Axxon PSIM:

• Each intrusion zone becomes a discrete alarm object.
• Partitions represent logical security areas.
• Zone states (normal, alarm, fault, bypassed) are tracked in real time.

This ensures accurate supervision of Honeywell security alarm panels.

Intrusion Event Processing and Alarm Handling

When an intrusion event occurs, the Honeywell VISTA alarm panel transmits the event to Axxon PSIM, which then:

• Identifies the affected zone and partition.
• Classifies and prioritizes the event.
• Displays alarms in operator consoles (map, event log, linked video).
• Applies predefined alarm handling logic.

Unified Fire and Intrusion Supervision

By integrating Honeywell fire alarm systems and Honeywell VISTA intrusion alarms, Axxon PSIM establishes a unified supervisory layer for multiple safety domains.

From a system perspective:

• Fire and intrusion alarms are normalized into a common PSIM event model.
• Operators use consistent acknowledgment and handling logic.
• Joint visualization of Honeywell security alarms is provided within a single interface.
