    “cluster”. Connection via a IDANet network Through the IDANet network, Previdia Ultra control panels can be connected in a ring via a CAT5 ethernet cable (up to 100m) or optical fiber (by means of an appropriate SFP module depending on the type of fiber used).
  • Page 7 Guide to networking Connection based on TCP/IP Use of an Ethernet connection, based on TCP/IP protocol, as the cluster-interconnect allows you to build up to 20 clusters. Internet A cluster can be made up of a single Previdia control panel or an FPMCPU module configured as a repeater panel.

    Fire detection and extinguishing system Chapter 3 The Hornet+ and IDANet networks The Hornet+ network The connection of several control panels in Hornet+ network is based on an RS485 network, which must be structured in ring topology in order to guarantee the appropriate fault tolerance along the cable lines. Each Previdia Max or Ultra control panel connected in Hornet+ network must be equipped with an IFMNET module.

    Previdia Compact/Micro In cases where a fiber optic cable is used over long BUS lengths, it is necessary to use a RS485/fiber converter (non-INIM brand product). The module IFMNET has a 12V output (paragraph 3.1 - [C]) for the power supply to the converter in use.

    Guide to networking The module has two ports (“PORT-A” and “PORT-B”) for making the ring connection. For each of the two ports, an RJ45 socket is available for connection via UTP CAT5 cable (Ethernet protocol) or alternatively a socket for an SFP fiber optic converter for making the fiber optic connection.

In the configuration section, touch the net- working programming access icon. for PREVIDIA-C-REP: Access to repeater programming and press the Configuration button. In the configuration section, touch the repeater programming access icon.

    When a Hornet+ address is assigned to a Previdia Ultra control panel, the IFAMIDANET module activates the blue LED to indicate that the control panel is in the cluster and has started to communicate with the other control panels. The LEDs on the IFAMIDANET module indicate activity on the two communication channels.

  • Page 17 Guide to networking Attention: There must be only one IDANet ring and one Hornet+ ring: Multiple rings of the same technology are not allowed. The cluster operates effectively as a single network, therefore, each of its nodes must have a unique address. via FPMCPU: As far as data sharing is concerned, it should be noted that from an FPMCPU module it is possible to navigate on remote nodes and manage the various objects relating to the FPMCPU module.

    Limits and precautions The connection of several clusters via the Ethernet network is based on hardware that is not supplied by INIM Electronics. Therefore, if the connection in the network is based on TCP/IP, it is the sole responsibility of the project manager who designs the installation to evaluate the use made of it (supervision, display of cross events, cross activations, etc.).
