System technology System- and connection-technology The Advanced Discovery System is based on a user friendly field-bus, the M-Bus. This makes it possible to provide the neccessary operating voltage as well as data-communications within one cable. The benefit of this system is easiest installation and expandability. The Advanced Discovery System contains the following accessory components. Central fire alarm panel BMZ 30 BMZ30 is the central fire alarm panel of the Advanced Discovery System. It communicates with all ADICOS detector units via M-Bus and displays and evaluates their current status. Detectors can be joined into groups and parametrized with individual alarm thresholds. On alarm BMZ30 triggers several output signals for alarm evaluation. In combination with a service PC, BMZ30 ensures continuous data logging detection events in the system. For external interface it can be operated with central fire alarm panels of renouned manufacturers like Siemens, Bosch, etc. and is extendable with an Ethernet-interface. M-BUSMASTER XF S The M-Bus is a so called Master-Slave Bussystem. In addition to the detector slaves a master unit is required - the M-BUSMASTER. This master unit des not only handle the data communication with up to 250 GSME or HOTSPOT slaves. It can even provide the required operating voltage for several detectors. Furthermore it contains a RS232-serial-interface for connecting a service-pc. We offer two variants of the M-BUSMASTER. M-BUSMASTER XF and M-BUSMASTER S are functionally similar. Special about model XF is its IP65 specification, which makes it ideal for operation in tough industrial environments. It is also extendable with an Ethernet-interface. The M-BUSMASTER S, is a compact tool for service-operation.
