The well-known automated integrated security system solves the complex tasks of guarding the facility based on video surveillance, fire alarms, fire extinguishing, access control and management, fire and emergency alerts. However, the system is controlled by the operator, which is not always advisable in the conditions of operation on the railway.

The problem solved by the invention is to create a unified module for the integration of object complexes of technical security equipment, providing centralized monitoring of the state of the components of technical security equipment (TCO) at the facilities, remotely recording the fact of failure of equipment included in the TCO complex, and transmitting messages to higher services monitoring, maintaining the database of object TSS in an up-to-date and holistic form with the aim of providing the necessary reliable information to all interested th services, ensuring rapid transmission of "alarm" signal and communication features on the facts of threats and acts of unlawful interference and emergencies.

The technical result consists in increasing the reliability of operational monitoring of the state of technical security equipment due to centralized monitoring of the state of components of technical security equipment (TCO) at the facilities, remote recording of the fact of failure of the TSS and transmission of messages to higher monitoring services, maintaining the database of object TSS in an up-to-date and holistic view in order to ensure prompt transmission of “alarm” signals and formalized messages on facts and threats of acts of unlawful interference and h emergencies, as well as to increase the reliability of the module itself through the introduction of a unit for monitoring operation parameters.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the unified module for integration of object complexes of technical means of guarding an object contains at least one data processing and conversion unit, an operating parameter control unit, temperature, humidity, input voltage, vibration, and opening doors and identification of the electronic key, the output of each of which is connected to the corresponding information input of the control unit for operating parameters, at least one an interface unit and an Ethernet switch, the corresponding inputs / outputs of which are connected to the outputs / inputs of the data processing and conversion unit, the interface unit, and the operating parameter control unit, as well as an uninterruptible power supply with an adapter, while the information inputs of each data processing and conversion unit are connected with the outputs of the video cameras of the object’s video surveillance systems, and the interface unit is connected directly with the appropriate technical security equipment and / or through the technical equipment controller the wounds of the object, the first, second and third control outputs of the operation parameter control unit are connected to the power on / off inputs of the data processing and conversion unit, interface unit and switch, connected by the data network channel to the hardware-software complex of the workstation of the operator of the security situation center separation of the road and / or with a hardware-software device of the automated workplace of the object operator.

On the outside of the case there are four indicator lights connected respectively to the input of the uninterruptible power supply, to the output of the adapter and through the interface block to the corresponding outputs of the switch and the control unit for operating parameters.

The unified module may include at least one remote panel installed at the guard post. Each remote panel includes a set of buttons with light indicators, while the buttons are connected through series-connected interface unit and the switch to the corresponding inputs of the data processing and conversion unit to transmit the corresponding messages to the road safety situation center, and the light indicators are connected through the series-connected interface unit and a switch to the corresponding outputs of the data processing and conversion unit for highlighting the corresponding button.

An independent heating system is installed in the housing to maintain the set temperature inside the housing.

In addition, an autonomous ventilation system is installed in the housing to prevent overheating of the module components.

The drawing shows a structural diagram of one of the options for implementing a unified module of object complexes of technical means of object protection.

The unified integration module (UMI) of the object complexes of the facility’s technical security features includes a switch 2, a unit 3 for monitoring operation parameters, sensors 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, respectively, temperature, humidity, input voltage, vibration, and opening the door housing and identification of an electronic key, a unit 10 for processing and converting data, an interface unit 11, and an uninterruptible power supply 12 with an adapter 13.

In this case, the inputs / outputs of the processing and conversion unit 10, the control unit 3, and the interface unit 11 are connected to the corresponding outputs / inputs of the switch 2, the other inputs / outputs of which are connected via a communication channel to the hardware-software device of the workstation of the railway department security situation center (AWP SCOD).

The information inputs of the control unit 3 are connected to the outputs of the sensors 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. In addition, the corresponding outputs of the control unit 3 are connected to the on and off inputs of the supply voltage of the data processing and conversion unit 10, switch 2, and interface unit 11 .

The information inputs of the processing and conversion unit 10 are connected to the video cameras 14 of the video surveillance system of the security facility.

The interface unit 11 is connected with the technical means of protection through the controller 15 of the technical means of guarding the facility, as well as directly with the sensors 16 of the technical means of guarding the facility. The UMI can be connected to object TCOs via the following interfaces: RS-232/485, Ethernet 10 / 100Base-Tx, LonWorks TP / FT-10, dry contact, relay output, PAL video input, analog audio input.

UMI provides the ability to install additional interface blocks to connect the required number of TCO. All data received by the interfaces over the broadband Ethernet 10 / 100Base-Tx interface is transferred through switch 2 to the processing and conversion unit 10, where the received data are analyzed, the data are correlated with the given instructions, the data is written to the database and converted to necessary for the transfer of the operator of the object to the SECB and AWS.

To transmit emergency messages, the facility personnel provide for the connection of a remote panel (not shown in the drawing) UMI. Each remote panel includes a set of buttons and light indicators associated with the buttons, while the buttons are connected through series-connected interface unit 11 and switch 2 to the corresponding inputs of the data processing and conversion unit 10 for transmitting relevant messages to the road safety situation center, and the light indicators - through series-connected unit 11 of the interfaces and switch 2 to the corresponding outputs of unit 10 for processing and converting data to highlight the corresponding kn opka. Pressing each button initiates the sending of a specific message to the DSC. The text of each message and the binding to the buttons are set both from the AWSSCO and locally from the console port of the UMI.

It is also envisaged to connect to the UMI the “alarm” button located at the operator’s post with a light indicator that initiates sending one message. The “panic” button is connected to the corresponding input of the data processing and conversion unit 10 for transmitting the corresponding messages to the security department of the railway department, and the light indicator is connected through the series-connected interface unit 11 and the switch 2 to the corresponding outputs of the data processing and conversion unit 10 for lighting corresponding button.

To notify the operator of the object that pressed the “alarm” button or the button on the remote panel about the receipt of a message by the operator of the data center, the following algorithm is provided.

Having received a signal about a button press, the data processing and conversion unit 10 sends the corresponding information message to the data center, and also gives the command to the relay interface of the interface unit 11 to turn on the indicator light to illuminate the button with which the message was sent. Thus, the sender is informed that the UMI is functioning and that there is no cable break to the button and the request is sent to the data center. The button is extinguished after confirming the fact of receiving a message by the SCOD operator.

In addition, an indication unit (not shown) is installed on the outside of the housing 1, including four LEDs that provide control:

- the presence of voltage in the power cable,

- the presence of a supply voltage of 12 volts,

- the presence of UMI connection to higher SCs,

- the occurrence of failures and failures of the UMI components.

The housing 1 is made in the form of a metal cabinet with a given level of protection. The cabinet is equipped with autonomous ventilation and heating systems and provides the necessary level of protection for the equipment installed in it from atmospheric precipitation and possible vandalism.

For UMI installed on the street, inside the housing 1 install a heating system (not shown in figure 1)

The central device of the unified integration module is a data processing and conversion unit 10, made in the form of a hardware-software device that performs the following functions:

- processing and conversion of data from object security systems to the selected protocol;

- “intelligent gateway” for the interaction of object security systems with each other based on compiled instructions

- archiving events in a local database;

- transmission of information to higher monitoring points.

In addition, block 10 performs the functions of a video server, providing the connection of up to 4 analog or IP cameras, encoding video signals in H.264 format with a resolution of D1 and a speed of 25 frames per channel, recording them in its own memory and streaming video streams to the network in unicast or multicast modes for transmitting data to an external TCO monitoring network.

If there are more than 4 cameras in the facility’s security system, additional processing and control units are installed. As the block 10 processing and conversion using known hardware and software devices, for example, "KODOL-04", or "KODOL-16", or "KODOL-32". Due to their compact size and low heat dissipation, at least 6 such devices can be installed in the housing 1.

Block 10 processing and converting data in the absence of communication with the situational safety center carries out the execution of all internal programs and instructions without sending messages with the preservation of all events in its own memory. When communication is restored, block 10 transfers all stored data to higher monitoring levels.

Block 11 of the interfaces is designed to connect the object technical means of guarding the object into the unified integration module. The interface unit 11 includes both an interface for connecting controllers 15 of security equipment and an interface for connecting directly to sensors 16 of security equipment.

The interface for connecting the controller 15 security equipment has additional inputs for backup power and equip the functions of automatic warning of failures.

The interface for connecting 16 sensors of security equipment to sensors is designed to connect 16 “dry” contacts.

The number of used blocks 11 of the interface depends on the number of technical means of protection.

The control unit 3 is designed to prevent fire due to unforeseen malfunctions of the UMI equipment, failure of the UMI equipment due to improper climatic conditions of its operation, damage and vandalism of the UMI equipment.

The control unit 3 performs the following monitoring functions:

- control of the voltage value supplied to the UMI and the current consumption of each device directly connected to the control unit 3;

- remote shutdown / power-up of consumers, both in order to possibly reboot the device when it is impossible to do it remotely by software, and in order to prevent fire when smoke occurs or the maximum permissible ambient temperature is exceeded;

- control of internal humidity and temperature in the UMI cabinet;

- control of the vibration level in order to prevent hacking attempts and vandalism of UMI;

- prevention of unauthorized opening of the UMI cabinet and identification of personnel performing routine / repair work with the UMI.

The control unit 3 is made in the form of a programmable device, providing both a remote control mode and an autonomous functioning mode. For example, when smoke detectors are triggered, a notification is sent to the operator of the situation center, and after a while, if the operator has not taken action and the situation has not changed, they include a control contact and supply power to the siren and / or fire extinguishing system.

Due to the possibility of selective disconnection of consumers, the control unit 3 allows you to prevent failure of the UMI components in cases when the UMI is turned on at an unacceptably low temperature. For example, after carrying out routine / repair work in the cold season, the supply of voltage is carried out only after the temperature inside the cabinet rises above the permissible value.

Monitoring the work of UMI is carried out in situational centers of the road department (SCOD).

To ensure communication with TCO at the facility, existing or newly designed linear cable structures and communication systems are used.

The communication of the UMI with the data center is carried out using a packet switching network.
