Som module

Table of Contents

The BACnet feature of the CGW-MB provides communications between a panel(s)

network and a BACnet client, which is using the BACnet communication protocol.

The CGW-MB acts like any other node on a panel network. It can communicate with a

single panel or network of panels directly or through a network control module.

NOTE: The BACnet communication protocol is an American National Standard

(ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2012).

The CLSS BACnet client will present the physical fire devices in the network as BACnet

objects. The CGW-MB manages their object database. As events occur, the object

properties are updated in real-time, and messages are sent to the appropriate BACnet

report destination.

The BACnet clients may make requests to read properties of the BACnet objects. Those

properties are the values of the device status and programming.

The user subscribes to Event Notification objects per FACP, and the BACnet device

receives events from objects on the FACP as a result of this subscription. Large networks

can use multiple CLSS Gateway mainboards (greater than 16 panels with a combined

maximum of 15,000 objects).

The BACnet client workstation front-end must conform to BACnet Standard Annex J for IP

and support Device Objects, Binary Output Objects, and Multi-state Input or Life Safety

Points/Zones. For details, refer to

NOTE: This manual is written with the understanding that its user is trained in BACnet

operations and services. The information provided here is solely for the configuration of

the CLSS Gateway mainboard to communicate event information to an existing BACnet

network.
