18 System configuration and programming
To configure the POLON 3000 system, it is necessary to download the POLON Studio application from
the manufacturer's website and install it on the computer. The application enables convenient system
design, configuration settings prepare and project archiving. In particular, it allows:
- hardware configuration of the control panel,
- configuration of addressable detection lines,
- selecting from the list and attaching line elements to detection lines with on-screen
visualization,
- configuration of line elements (detectors, MCPs, control elements, etc.),
- configuration of detection zones, alarm variants, criteria for activating outputs, groups of
outputs, monitoring inputs, and control outputs,
- downloading and uploading configurations to/from control panel,
- starting auto-configuration - automatic readout of installed line elements on detection
loops/lines,
- reading events and performing other auxiliary functions.
18.1 Hardware configuration
The POLON Studio application allows you to download the configuration from a connected control
panel or make a new project of configuration settings. For a new project, select the project type
(P3064, P3128, P3256) that is associated with the POLON 3000 control panel variation:
−
POLON 3064,
−
POLON 3124,
−
POLON 3256.
and specify the name of the file to save the configuration. The program will automatically display the
basic hardware configuration: housing and modules. For a control panel with optional communication
module installed, it is advised to add the MK-30 module. Line elements can be added "manually" from
the list, after selecting (highlighting) the detection line of the MLD-30 line module, by dragging and
dropping on the displayed module terminals. Another practical method is to perform an automatic
reading of elements from the panel's real operating detection loop. In this case, the control panel
must be installed and a connection made to the computer via USB. After starting the POLON Studio
application, connecting the computer to the panel, select "send/receive" and "connect" . Connection
to the control panel will require selecting the proper USB port. When the port is opened, the ability to
run auto-configuration is activated. Starting auto-configuration of the selected number and line type,
will result in real-time display of messages on detected elements. In case of installation errors are
present, proper messages are displayed to help fix the fault. Successful auto-configuration allows you
to save the readings. Elements which were read they have factory default settings (if not configured).
18.2 Configuration of the detection lines
In the project window of the POLON Studio application, double-click on the MLD-30 line module will
bring up the configuration window for the detection lines. The window displays line parameters with
the possibility of setting them. The most important are:
−
transmission protocol (Polon 6000 or Polon 4000 - depends on the line elements used),
−
type of line (loop, radial/open),
