Studio Tools  /  DC-09 Studio

The workbench for SIA DC-09 alarm signalling

Build, inspect, and test ANSI/SIA DC-09-2013 signalling with a virtual panel, virtual receiver, field-by-field analyzer, and repeatable receiver behavior checks. The checks produce engineering evidence; they are not a formal certification.

DC-09 Studio virtual receiver decoding live alarm events

The virtual receiver decodes and acknowledges live alarm events — with fault injection to test how the other end behaves.

Simulate both ends

  • Virtual panel (transmitter): SIA-DCS & ADM-CID events, NULL supervision, scenarios
  • Virtual receiver (ARC): live ACK / NAK / DUH, sequence echo, timestamp policy
  • AES-encrypted signalling, TCP & UDP
  • First-class fault injection to test misbehaving panels and receivers

Inspect every field

  • Field-by-field decode with the exact spec section for each element
  • CRC, length and timestamp validation; AES decryption with your key
  • Paste a frame in the desktop studio or process captured JSONL traffic with the CLI
  • Plain-language explanation of what’s wrong when a frame is malformed
Automated DC-09 conformance runner with pass/fail verdicts

Gather repeatable evidence

Run seven spec-cited behavior checks against a reachable TCP or UDP receiver, covering acknowledgement, sequence echo, supervision, response integrity, AES, and resynchronization. Results are engineering evidence, not certification.

  • Automated receiver-under-test suite with spec-cited verdicts
  • Kalytera-branded HTML and PDF engineering reports
  • Captured third-party frame fixtures and a documented live ACK exchange
  • CLI for CI pipelines, plus the desktop studio

Who it’s for

Alarm panel & communicator manufacturers validating their DC-09 output

Alarm receiving centres (ARCs) testing receivers and onboarding panels

Integrators & test labs troubleshooting alarm-transmission issues

Try DC-09 Studio

The analyzer is free. Standard adds panel and receiver simulators plus behavior checks; Pro adds controlled fault injection and PDF export.
