HAT IS A OFTWARE
The 1010/2020 contains 240 software zones to be used in CBE programming. These software
zones are broken into two types, Forward-Activating Zones (FZON) and Reverse-Activating Zones
(RZON). These forward and reverse zones must be grouped separately, with the forward group
always preceding the reverse group. This is accomplished by setting the Zone Boundary (see Zone
Boundary, for more information on setting the zone boundary). Once the boundary is set, all
software zone numbers above the Zone Boundary are RZONs and all software zones below and
including the Zone Boundary are FZONs.
F -A
ORWARD CTIVATING
FZONs are triggered from devices and are used to activate output devices and/or other software
zones. FZONs can only trigger other zones with a higher zone number.
R -A
EVERSE CTIVATING
RZONs are activated from input devices and/or other software zones. The software zones that can
be used to activate a reverse zone must have a lower zone number than the RZON being activated.
Note:
To assist in the understanding of Forward and Reverse Zones, view them as inputs and outputs,
Forward Zones, (Generally mapped directly to detectors or input modules)
Reverse Zones, (Generally used for controlling outputs)

ONTROL BY VENT
Control-By-Event Programming can be accomplished in two ways, via the List and the Equation.
Lists are used for initiating devices (detectors and monitor modules) and forward activating zones,
where as, Equations are used for output devices (control modules) and reverse activating zones.
When an initiating device or forward-activating zone is programmed with a List, the 1010/2020
activates all the items in the list when activation of the device or zone occurs. The operand's listed
for an initiating device can be output modules and/or software zones (forward or reverse activating).
For a forward activating zone, the items can be forward zones that are higher than its address,
reverse activating zones and/or control modules.
Example:
A photoelectric detector has a List of (L1M1 L2M2), where L1M1 and L2M2 are control modules.
When the detector is in alarm, all the items in the Control-By-Event List are activated so both
control modules are activated.
The real power of the CBE Programming comes from the equation, which is evaluated by the
control panel to determine a variety of alarm initiating conditions. The equation provides the real
decision-making ability through the use of an operator acting on a set of operands. The operand's
for an output module can be initiating devices, software zones (forward or reverse activating), or
control modules assigned an address lower than its own. For a reverse-activating zone, the
operand's can be initiating devices, forward zones, or reverse zones that are lower than its address.
