NIM-1W Module Board (RS485 setting)
The NIM-1W supports both Style 4 and Style 7
connection. In the event of an NIM-1W communica-
tion failure, each MXL System continues to operate
as a standalone panel.
The NIM-1W can also be configured as an RS-485
two wire interface to foreign systems. NIM-1W
RS485 only supports Style 4 wiring. Via the add-on
modem card NIM-1M, NIM-1W can also be config-
ured for modem connection. This operation is called
FSI (Foreign System Interface). The FSI responds
to a protocol and gathers information about the MXL
status. The interface supports both single MXL
Systems and networked systems. Typical use of
this interface is between the MXL and building
management systems.
Use the CSG-M to enable the functions accessed
by the foreign system. If the foreign system is UL
864 listed with the MXL, the interface can also be
enabled to support control of the MXL including the
commands to acknowledge, silence, and reset.
OPERATION
The
Model NIM-1W from Siemens Industry, Inc.,
provides a new communication path for the following
uses:
• as an XNET networking interface
• as an HNET connection to NCC WAN
• as a connection to Foreign Systems
• as a connection to Air Sampling detectors
When used as an XNET networking interface the
NIM-1W allows for the connection of up to 63 MXL
and/or XLS Systems. On an XNET network the NIM-
1W also supports monitor and control functionality by
Siemens products, such as NCC and Desigo CC.
Output logic between MXL panels is done using
CSG-M programming. CSG-M versions 6.01 and
higher include options for networked MXL Systems.
Each MXL System is assigned a panel number. This
panel number allows interactive programming be-
tween panels using CSG-M.
