Building Technologies
Fire Safety
The configuration of an 'FS720' fire detection installation is created in the following
structure trees:
● 'Hardware tree'
● ↑ 'Detection tree'
● ↑ 'Control tree'
● 'Operation tree'
● 'Network tree'
The structure is created by installing in the building and configuring the fire
detection installation. The elements of the individual structure trees are assigned to
one another via channels.
Thanks to a hierarchical topology and arrangement into zones, events can be
assigned geographically and shown accordingly. This enables commands to be
given to consolidated parts of the ↑ site, for example.
The ↑ 'Hardware tree' represents the installed hardware. The individual elements
of the 'Hardware tree' are structured as follows:
● ↑ 'Station'
● 'Module'
● 'Line'
● 'Device'
● ↑ 'Physical channel'
'Hardware tree' example
1 ↑ 'Station'
2 'Module'
3 'Device'
