The flexible and efficient The, a loop which can tolerate short circuits and interruptions, combines several control panels and network components into a hierarchy-free network for economical and convenient monitoring of extensive building complexes. Indicating and control operations are easily possible and trouble-free via the, even across multiple control panels. Due to the modular construction, all changes in the object can be programmed quickly and easily from a single point. Even the confi guration of master panel (MP) and slave panel (SP) is possible at any time via the programming software. At a bit rate of 62.5 kbaud, up to 16 devices can communicate with each other via the net; at a bit rate of 500 kbaud, the number increases to 31 devices. ranges Depending on object s particular circumstances, the can be operated using even the most diverse types of cable. If a bit rate of 62.5 kbaud is selected, traditional telephone cable - IY (ST) Y nx2x0.8 mm is suffi cient. For the high bit rate of 500 kbaud, IBM Type 1 and/or Belden 1634A cable must be used, which are widely used in data processing. The maximum distance between 2 loop devices is 1000m. If that is not far enough, the distance can be tripled by using two repeaters. If fi bre optic and corresponding converters are used, even distances of up to 20km between two devices can be realized.

Interconnection of large systems with existing infrastructure Within a range of approx. 400 km 2, information (status of zone, detector and control groups) of six widely distributed properties with a total of approx. 120 fi re alarm control panels and 7,500 detectors is transmitted to a control center. At the same time, all information is switched onto a redundant management system. Modem LGH 9600 Serial Interface (SEI), Part No. 784856 MP-SP protocol converter Gateway, Part No. 788730 The individual networks work completely autonomously; that is, announcements are transmitted to the control center and/or to the management system, but not to the other networks. All operations of the fi re alarm system are possible from both the control center and the management system. The additional texts of the individual networks are available centrally in the gateways and can be displayed both in the fi re department control center as well as in the management system. The existing internal telecommunication network is used as a medium for the transfer of the respective data. 5

Maximum redundancy in monitoring and alarms In a large university clinic, the fi re alarm systems networked in the individual clinic buildings are to be switched over to a WINMAGplus central management system. Both the connection of the individual systems as well as the management system itself are redundant (red and yellow lines) for security reasons. The clinic s own pre-existing Ethernet network is used for this. Transmission Unit to Fire Department IQ8Control Fire Alarm Control Panel RS232, Part No. 013405.10 The networks of both properties work autonomously. Via WINMAGplus, however, the user has the option to access all control panels. For security reasons, the fi re announcements of the individual networked fi re alarm systems are additionally transferred to the main panels of the other networks via esserbus transponders (blue line). In this way, an emergency call can still be made over the redundant path even if there is a breakdown of one transmission device. Currently, the entire fi re alarm system consists of 50 fi re alarm control panels with a total of 9,000 detectors. The further expansion of a third and fourth is currently in progress. The fi nal confi guration will contain approx. 80 fi re alarm control panels and 12,000 detectors. 7

Real-time monitoring of 10,000 detectors via intranet The fi re alarm systems in the headquarters of a large telephone company are centrally switched over to the WINMAGplus management system. These fi re alarm systems are distributed in business locations throughout the entire country. The fl exibility of WINMAGplus allows the creation of a company s own individual internal user interface with different security levels and user-specifi c access rights. At the same time, WINMAGplus allows the display and access to all fi re alarm systems of the respective properties. RS232, Part No. 013405.10 Serial Interface for WINMAGplus, Part No. 784847 Serial Interface (SEI), Part No. 784856 Individual fi re alarm control panels or complex networked systems can be present in these 40 offi ces. Individual systems are not connected via the serial module but rather via the clearly more cost-effective WINMAGplus interface. Transmission of the announcements occurs exclusively via the company s own Ethernet. 9

Fail-safe coupling via FO loop The fi re alarm systems of two properties are connected to each other with the corresponding converters via an FO loop which can tolerate wire breakage and short-circuits. Additionally, all information is made available in a control panel in the engineering room. This is made possible by IQ8Control Gateways which have an Ethernet interface and which can gather, display and forward the information of all fi re alarm systems. System-wide operations are also possible with the aid of these gateways. IQ8Control Gateway with Ethernet Interface FO Switch In addition, the information of the two properties are switched over to a redundant WINMAGplus management system which is equipped with a notifi cation option in order to pass on defi ned messages via DECT telephones. 11

Secure networking of large building complexes The fi re alarm systems of several high-rise building complexes are switched over to a control center via an FO loop network which can tolerate to wire breakage and short-circuits. In addition to the redundant WINMAGplus management system, an IQ8Control Gateway is located in the control center as a combined indicator and control panel. In each case there is also an IQ8Control Gateway located in the high-rise buildings engineering rooms. These enable the status display and operation of both fi re alarm systems. IQ8Control Gateway with Ethernet interface FO Switch RS232, Part No. 013405.10 The WINMAGplus clients in the engineering rooms allow an additional visualization with the possibility of storing synchronized emergency action plans for the buildings. The fi nal installation will encompass about 70 fi re alarm control panels with almost 45,000 detectors. 13

Connection to the building services management system Information from the IQ8 fi re alarm system and the intrusion alarm system is switched over to a common WINMAGplus touch operating unit which was equipped with an individually designed user interface. With the fi re alarm system, the connection occurs via the Serial Interface and via a special network controller for the intrusion detection technology. In addition, the data of both networks is transmitted serially to a BACnet Gateway which respectively encodes the data and forwards it to a superior building management system. Multiprotocol Gateway, Part No. 7850xx Network Controller Serial Interface (SEI), Part No. 784856 The operation of both systems is thus possible both locally via the WINMAGplus Touch Panel as well as via the control center. In addition to the gateway shown here, other interfaces for OPC, LONTalk, Modbus IP or EIB / Instabus are available. Operation via the building management system is dependent on the interface used. 15
