Since this is a FACP XA Loop Slave Application, the 12 XA Loop device types are programmed
with the MLPTIO device type. There are two types of information transmitted on the XA Loop:
FACP data sent to the Autocall panel
Autocall data sent to the FACP
For FACP to Autocall data, the two output subpoints on the MLPTIO are used to convey the
information. Output subpoint 5 is used to convey the alarm or activated status of the data, and
output subpoint 6 is used to convey the trouble status of the data.
For Autocall to FACP data, the first input subpoint on the MLPTIO is used to convey the
information. The input point reports “abnormal” (current-limited) when the Autocall information
is activated. It reports “normal” when the Autocall information is deactivated.
Since the first 5 devices on our XALIC are reporting FACP information to the Autocall panel, we
need to program the output subpoints to perform the desired function. We will need to write
Custom Control equations to activate those outputs under the proper circumstances, so both
subpoint 5 and 6 on XALIC devices 1-5 should be programmed with the RELAY point type.
The Custom Control equations used to convey the alarm and trouble status for Area 1 is shown
below:
IN:
L512 ALARM
;List of Area 1 smoke detectors
OUT:
TRACK M5-1-5 ON PRI=9,9 ;Track on XA Device 1 Alarm output
END:
IN:
L512 TROUBLE
;List of Area 1 smoke detectors
OUT:
TRACK M5-1-6 ON PRI=9,9 ;Track on XA Device 1 Trouble output
END:
We will need similar equations for the remaining areas using the list and the XA device
corresponding to that area.
To program the FACP general trouble indication to the Autocall panel, the following Custom
Control equation must be written:
IN:
A2 ON
;Number of Panel troubles
OUT:
TRACK M5-5-6 ON PRI=9,9 ;Track on XA Device 5 Trouble output
END:
This completes the programming required to send the FACP information to the Autocall panel.
We now need to program the FACP to act upon information received from the Autocall panel.
