WinDSX is access control for systems of all size, from one door to thousands of doors with no hidden cost or expensive upgrades as your system grows. It is a true 32-bit access control application that works with WindowsNT / 2000 / XP Pro and is available in Microsoft Access and SQL versions.

General Information
The DSX-1044 is an independent processing, 32 input, intelligent controller designed to be a cost effective building block in the DSX hardware platform that allows expansion in a scalable manner. Up to 128 inputs can be controlled from 1 enclosure for an efficient space saving package. Each DSX-1044 operates as a fully intelligent and independent controller that retains all data necessary for system operation in its own RAM. With its integral real-time Clock and Calendar it performs Time Zone control with Holiday overrides for outputs even when communication to the PC or other controllers is not available. The DSX-1044 carries a Limited 2 Year Warranty.

Controller Architecture
The DSX-1044 Intelligent Controller may be used in conjunction with all other DSX Controllers as a Master or Slave in the controller
network. Any controller may be designated as a Master or Slave controller. The Master or Slave mode of operation is determined by
the panel’s dip switch settings. The first panel of each location is designated as the Master while all others would be considered
Slaves. The Master is responsible for communications to the PC and to the Slave panels. Up to 64 Controllers can be used in a single Location.

Up to four DSX-1044 controllers can be placed in a DSX-1040E Enclosure along with a DSX-1040CDM Communication Distribution
Module. The controller can be placed in a 1042PKG mixed with DSX-1042 and DSX-1043 Controllers. The DSX-1044 contains an AM186 processor, 512K of RAM, 512K of Flash ROM, and a Real Time Clock. The DSX-1044 allows all door and field wiring connections to be made via removable terminal blocks. The DSX-1040CDM receives RS-485 communications from a possible previous panel and regener-ates the 4 wire-RS485 to the next DSX Controller. The DSX-CDM also distributes Slave Controller communication to those Slave panels located within the same enclosure.

Inputs
The DSX-1044 has 32 Programmable Inputs, The armed status of the inputs can be controlled by up to 4 Time Zones, I/O & Card Linking, and Manually from the PC. Each input has its own status LED that is on when the input is normal. Each input individually supports 2, 3, and 4 state point monitoring.

Outputs
The DSX-1044 has 4 digital (open collector) outputs that have the same programmability and functionality as all other DSX outputs.
The on/off state of each output is reflected by their status LEDs. The outputs can be controlled by up to 4 Time Zones, I/O & Card
Linking, and Manually from the PC.

System Power
Each DSX-1044 is powered from an individually fused 12 volt output from the DSX-1040CDM distribution module located in the same
DSX-1040E enclosure. The DSX-1040CDM receives power from the DSX-1040PDP Power Distribution Panel. The DSX-1040PDP houses the controller and lock power supplies, backup batteries, and fused power distribution module. The DSX-1040PDP is comprised of a DSX-1040PE Enclosure, an AS-150 15VDC power supply for the Controllers, an AS-100-[15] or [24] for either 15V or 24V locks, and a DSX-1040PDM Power Distribution Module.
