Vanderbilt and AxxonSoft Integration

Vanderbilt SPC integrates with Axxon PSIM and Axxon One via a low-level protocol over Ethernet, enabling centralized monitoring and operator control of SPC objects from a unified interface. In Axxon One, the IAS Vanderbilt SPC system integration module supports monitoring and control workflows through core interface objects and commands.

Quick Overview and Key Benefits of AxxonSoft + Vanderbilt Integration

What Makes the Partnership Valuable

In Axxon One, the integration module downloads the device configuration and builds the object structure (including Areas and Sensors) for monitoring and operational control. In Axxon PSIM, operators work with Vanderbilt objects through core UI elements such as Map and Event Viewer.

Key Advantages

  • Monitoring + control of supported Vanderbilt SPC hardware → enables both visibility and operator actions.
  • Configuration download from devices in Axxon One → reduces manual object creation and speeds commissioning.
  • Object-level commands in Axxon One (Main / Panel / Area / Zone) → supports day-to-day operator workflows from the UI.
  • Defined licensing models (Axxon PSIM: for 1 controller; Axxon One: per each zone (ACFASensor)) → supports scalable deployment planning.

What is Vanderbilt SPC Integration

In Axxon One, you configure the main Vanderbilt object using RCT id / RCT IP / RCT port (as configured in the FlexC ATS settings of the Vanderbilt SPC panel), then use “Download configuration from device” to populate Vanderbilt SPC panels and their objects (including Areas and Sensors).

In Axxon PSIM, the integration is configured against Vanderbilt SPC objects and associated settings (IDs and connectivity parameters are taken from SPC Connect Pro), and operations are performed through operator UI objects such as Map and Event Viewer.

  • Receive connectivity and operational states for Vanderbilt SPC objects (server/panel/area/zone-level states are represented in the interface).
  • Download configuration from devices in Axxon One to discover panels and objects under the main Vanderbilt object.
  • Visualize Vanderbilt SPC objects and events using Map, Equipment Board, and Event Board in Axxon One (with Programming rules for automation).
  • Control objects via built-in Axxon One commands (Main/Panel/Area/Zone).

Log/handle events operationally through PSIM UI objects such as Event Viewer (and control via Map interactive window where applicable).

Supported Capabilities

Supported Hardware & Integration Type

The integration type is low-level protocol with Ethernet hardware connection. Supported controllers include:

  • SPC4320x (controller)
  • SPC6330 (controller)

Monitoring & Control in Axxon One

Commands accessible via Axxon One interface for various Vanderbilt SPC objects include:

  • Main: Silence all alerts in all panels; Clear all alerts in all panels; Send time to all panels.
  • Panel: Silence all alerts; Clear all alerts; Send time.
  • Area: Unset; Partset A; Partset B; Fullset; Restore.
  • Zone: Inhibit (temporarily); De-Inhibit; Isolate (permanently); De-Isolate; Restore.

Operator Workflows in Axxon PSIM

In Axxon PSIM, the Vanderbilt integration module is operated through:

  • Map
  • Event Viewer

Additionally, Vanderbilt FSA operations (where configured) are performed in the Map interactive window using the Panel object function menu, including output control, zone control, and area control.

Installation Guide & Documentation

Full technical documentation, compatibility tables, and detailed installation steps are available in the AxxonSoft documentation.

Deployment Fit

This integration fits organizations using Vanderbilt SPC that require monitoring, control in Axxon PSIM and/or Axxon One.

  • Supports Ethernet-based deployments using a low-level protocol integration model.
  • Works with supported controllers (SPC4320x, SPC6330) and their configured object limits.
  • Suits environments that need operator command execution for Panels, Areas, and Zones from a single interface.
  • Enables structured UI operations in Axxon One via Map / Equipment Board / Event Board and Programming rules.

Use Cases

Corporate Offices

Centralize Vanderbilt SPC monitoring and execute Area and Zone commands directly from Axxon One workflows to standardize operator response.

Critical Infrastructure

Leverage Axxon One interface objects (Map, Equipment Board, Event Board) and Programming rules to operationalize monitoring and response patterns.

Retail & Commercial Sites

Speed up routine handling with Axxon PSIM operator workflows using Map and Event Viewer, plus map-based controls where configured.

Industrial & Warehousing

Use Ethernet-based low-level protocol integration to monitor large object structures and apply consistent control actions across zones and areas.

FAQ — Vanderbilt Integration

What is the official integration module name in Axxon One?

In the documentation, it’s the IAS Vanderbilt SPC system integration module, and the integration module name is listed as Vanderbilt: SPC panel.

Open documentation

What integration type and connection interface are used?

The integration type is low-level protocol, and the hardware connection interface is Ethernet.

How is configuration pulled into Axxon One?

After entering RCT id, RCT IP, and RCT port (matching the Vanderbilt SPC panel Flex C® ATS settings), you use “Download configuration from device” to list panels and download objects including Areas and Sensors.

Open documentation

Which commands are available for Areas and Zones in Axxon One?

Area commands include: Unset, Partset A, Partset B, Fullset, Restore.
Zone commands include: Inhibit (temporarily), De-Inhibit, Isolate (permanently), De-Isolate, Restore.

How do operators work with the integration in Axxon PSIM?

Operators use the Map and Event Viewer interface objects. Vanderbilt FSA controls (output/zone/area) are executed in the Map interactive window using the Panel object function menu.
