Programming Overview 7-3
General Overview
Complete programmability is a very powerful feature of the
3GS system. This allows you to configure each system for an
installation’s specific requirements and to define how zones
behave under certain conditions. Node descriptions, zone
descriptions and user names allow easy identification of
system events and user action.
Software Identification
Information about the software version used for a particular
panel is printed on the panel’s eprom:
This label provides the following information:
(1)
Product Name. This is the product name for the panel (3
characters).
(2)
ID Code. Every new release eprom is given a unique
identification code. This code is used by Europlex to
identify the exact files used to create the eprom.
Note:
If you have a query regarding software
always quote this ID code.
Software Features
Your Europlex integrated system consists of some or all of the
following equipment:
•
3GS Control Panel
•
Up to 100 nodes
•
Up to 200 fully supervised zones, some of which can be
connected directly to the main control panel and others
which interface to a network cable ringnet running
around your premises via nodes.
•
Up to 255 system relay outputs which can switch on and
off alarm sounders, lights, control cameras, open electric
gates, and so on. Some of these outputs may connect
directly to the control unit, while others interface to the
network via nodes.
•
Audible devices, such as bells, sirens, buzzers, and so on.
•
Sensors which connect to system zones (for example
motion detectors).
•
Smoke detectors which detect the presence of smoke or
pre-combustion gases in the area where they are placed.
•
10,000 access cards.
•
64 access doors.
Nodes
The 3GS system handles one hundred nodes in total on the
ringnet. The nodes available offer a range of functionalities,
including display and key entry, input and output for intruder
access control and radio power monitoring, and so on.
Depending on the system configuration, these nodes can be
used to handle the highest level of security, access control
and many other features.
Outputs
The 3GS system is capable of controlling up to 255 unique
system outputs. The Controller has four on-board 1 Amp
relays, while relays on the I/O nodes can be addressed to any
output number (1-255). Relay outputs can be used to trigger
any amount of devices for many applications.
Typical applications are:
•
Siren/bell/strobe triggering
•
Camera Switching
•
System set/arm and alarm indication
•
Lighting/heating circuit control
•
Door/security barrier control
•
Inputs to remote communication devices
Output functions are predefined and output types may be
assigned to them.
Variables
The 3GS system has many variables, which are detailed later
in this chapter. These variables offer a choice of operation to
the installer, allowing for the customisation of the system.
Nodes 100
Outputs 255
Output Functions 1000
Alarm Zones 200
Access Doors 64
