Description
The BACpac Ethernet module provides a supplementary
communications interface that converts computer terminal
information from a compatible Simplex fire alarm control
panel into the building automation protocol of BACnet.
With this module, status information from the fire alarm
control panel can be provided to other components of the
building automation network with the detail and
information format required.
Providing this information allows other systems to
properly respond to fire alarm system activity in addition
to the primary fire alarm response that is under the control
of the fire alarm control panel.
