Programming—IFC-1010/2020 Programming
85
Control-By-Event Programming
CBE programming provides a variety of responses based on various
combinations of events (initiating conditions). The CBE Programming
controls the interaction between the alarm initiating devices, the internal
software zones, and the alarm notification appliances and other output
controls associated with an IFC-1010/2020.
Note: A software zone is not a physical zone, but rather a software
grouping in control panel memory.
N10
The IFC-1010/2020 contains 240 software zones to be used in CBE
programming. These software zones are broken into two types, Forward
Activating Zones (FZON) and Reverse Activating Zones (RZON). These
forward and reverse zones must be grouped separately, with the forward
group always preceding (lower zone numbers) the reverse group. This is
accomplished by setting the zone boundary. For more information on
setting the zone boundary, refer to the
Zone Boundary
section in this
document. Once the boundary is set, all software zone numbers above the
zone boundary are RZONs and all software zones below and including the
zone boundary are FZONs.
Forward Activating Zones
FZONs are used to activate output devices and/or other software zones.
The software zones that can be activated, however, must have a higher
zone number than the FZON being utilized.
Reverse Activating Zones
RZONs are activated from input devices and/or other software zones. The
software zones that can be used to activate a reverse zone must have a
lower zone number than the RZON being activated.
