This database is created and downloaded from an IBM compatible computer using the Mircom Programming Interface (MPI) program. Refer to the Mircom Programming Interface Database Editor for instructions on downloading the database.

  • Page 8: Figure 1: Typical Network Layout

    FX-2200 Programming Manual Figure 1: Typical Network Layout The basic layout of the network is a single loop (see Figure 1). Each panel and annunciator has a unique ID. There is no requirement that the IDs be sequential or that they start with 1. The master panel can be any fire panel in the network.

  • Page 9: Figure 2: Single Network Break

    FX-2200 Programming Manual Network Verify Network Verify is an active process in which each panel and annunciator checks to make sure that all other panels can communicate with it. This requires that ALL PANELS in the network have same operating software and database. Each panel sends out a Network Verify frame which is then passed around the network loop.

  • Page 11 FX-2200 Programming Manual The MIX-M500S control module can be used to control a supervised output, such as a bell or strobe circuit. The control module monitors the circuit wiring and troubles will be reported. The module will require a separate 24 VDC supply for the controlled circuit. When programming the database in MPI, be sure to program the control module correctly.
  • Page 12 FX-2200 Programming Manual Device Faults The following troubles (with condition code letter) can be reported by or for addressable devices: • Missing (M): A device listed in the database is not reporting back when polled by the panel. For a new installation, this is generally indicative of devices that have been mis- addressed.
