Addressable Device Control Reference
Overview. The 4100ES provides standard addressable
device communications for IDNet compatible devices and
accepts optional modules for communications with
MAPNET II compatible devices. Using a two-wire
communications circuit, individual devices such as
manual fire alarm stations, TrueAlarm sensors,
conventional IDC zones, and sprinkler waterflow
switches can be interfaced to the addressable controller to
communicate their identity and status.
Addressability allows the location and condition of the
connected device to be displayed on the operator interface
LCD and on remote system annunciators. Additionally,
control circuits (fans, dampers, etc.) may be individually
controlled by using a relay IAM (individual addressable
module).
Addressable Operation. Each addressable device on
the communication channel is continuously interrogated
for status condition such as: normal, off-normal, alarm,
supervisory, or trouble. Sophisticated poll and response
communication techniques ensure supervision integrity
and allow for "T-tapping" of the circuit for Class B
(Style 4) operation. The device LED blinks to indicate
receipt of a communications poll and is steady on to
indicate an alarm (or trouble) condition.
IDNet Channel Capacity. The CPU bay system power
supply (SPS) provides an IDNet signaling line circuit
(SLC) that supports up to 250 addressable monitor and
control points intermixed on the same pair of wires.
Additional IDNet circuit modules are available for 64,
127, or 250 addressable devices.
