Configuration
Fire detection and extinguishant system
Due to the fact that each FPMEXT front plate module is associated automatically with 5 internal IFMEXT modules at
precise addresses, the FPMEXT modules must have an address which respects the IFMEXT - FPMEXT module association
table which follows:
On returning to the control-panel configuration section, the assigned address (
[D]
) will be shown at the side of the
previously selected internal module.
2.5
Setting the network address (IFMNET)
If the installation has control panels connected in a network, it will be necessary to assign the network address
to each control panel.
Select the IFMNET module in the section on the left containing the internal layout of the cabinet (
[A]
). In the section
which appears, enter the network address and the bit rate.
Note:
Each control panel in the same network must be set with the same bit rate and univocal
address.
2.6
Addressing the repeaters
The procedure to configure the FPMCPU modules as repeaters depends on the type of connection between the
modules and the control panel.
Connection via Ethernet network
The Ethernet connection needs network parameters setting. The procedure must be done via the display of the module
itself, following the indications described in the
paragraph 2.2 Setting the IP network address
.
Connection via RS485 BUS
The BUS connection needs the addressing of any repeater in configuration,
in order for the control panel to identify each module individually.
To assign an address to a repeater, it is necessary to enter the configuration
procedure starting from the display of the module itself, as described in the
paragraph 2.3
.
A window will open, select the desired address in the programming field,
then tap on
Set
. The available addresses are from 1 to 14.
