Programming Manual 1.11
System Addressing
Each physical IRC-3 enclosure may have multiple panel addresses
depending upon the type and position of option cards in the control
modules CM1, CM1N, CM2, CM2N(D), or RMDP-1N. References are
made throughout this manual to the term "PANEL". A “panel” for the
purposes of programming is a unit of addressing that contains up to 96
inputs and 96 outputs. A "panel" is NOT an enclosure, but is a unit that
is polled by the computer and is capable of reporting up to 96 inputs
and controlling up to 96 outputs. The list below indicates the number of
panel addresses per equipment type:
Panel Addressing
Equipment Type Panel Addresses Required
IRC-1 1
ACP 1 (firmware set at #41)
ACP-6 3 (firmware set at #41, 42, 43)
FCCA 1 (firmware set at #41)
FCCA-4 2 (firmware set at #41, 42)
FCCA-6 3 (firmware set at #41, 42, 43)
GDP 1 (firmware set at #42)
SAN (Serial Annunciators) 1 per CPU Card
REM (Matrix Annunciators) 4
CM1(N) 4 (firmware set at #01, 02, 03, 04)
CM2(N)(D) 1 to 4 (depending upon cards installed)
The examples that follow illustrate addressing parameters of the
CM2(N) panels.
Notes
1. The CM1(N) always uses the first four addresses in the system (01,
02, 03, 04). The addressing of the zones and the relays in the
CM1(N) follow the examples below as illustrated for the
CM2(N)(D).
2. For CM1NX or RMDP-1NX, the maximum number of remote panel
addresses is 52. The limit of 32 electrical drops on the RS-485 and
10 electrical drops on the fiber optic or 20mA communications line
still applies.
