For
MX
loop devices, sub-point 0 represents the physical device, and is
responsible for logging to the history and printer the Device Fail and Type
Mismatch events. Note that when these events occur, all points for the
device will enter the fault state, but only sub-point 0 will log these events.
Disabling sub-point 0 will prevent the logging and signalling of fault by
only sub-point 0, but will not prevent the fault being indicated on the other
points.
For accessing a point on another
MX1
panel in a networked system, the
SID of the other panel is multiplied by 1000 and added to the equipment
number. For example, to access point 1.23.0 on an
MX1
panel with a
SID of 12 you would use a point number of 12001.23.0.
When disabling an
MX
device that is in Device Fail or Type
Mismatch, it will be necessary to disable all sub-points of the
device to remove the fault indication.
To access a point on another
MX4428
panel in a networked system, the
SID of the other panel is multiplied by 1000 and added to the responder
number. Because
MX4428
doesn’t have sub-points, the sub-point
number is left off. For example, to access point 64.5 on MX4428 SID 13
you enter 13064.5.
The device is represented by a number
Eq.Dev
and is used to perform
operator actions on all sub-points of that device, without performing
commands individually or requiring an operator to successfully enter the
point range. For example, entering a point number 1.1 at the Disable
Point command will disable all sub-points that can be disabled on device
address 1 on the in-built addressable loop. Some devices have only one
sub-point, thus commands to the device or its sub-point 0 have the same
effect.
Note that the
MX1
treats entry of a device number as a range entry
covering all points on the specified device, thus menus will behave as if a
range had been entered and will not display point names.
Equipment numbers are:
1
–
MX
loop 1
2 onwards for additional
MX
loops (if fitted)
241
–
MX
Controller board points
242
– pseudo points – these are virtual points whose state can be
controlled by logic equations. These are usually used to produce
special operations in some installations
243
– LCD/keyboard points
244
– RZDU/RDU points/equipment. If no RDUs have been enabled
in the site-specific configuration, these points cannot be viewed
245
– points for additional
MX
loop cards (if fitted)
246
– Remote Fire Brigade Panel (FBP) points (if fitted)
247
– Network Status Points. Refer Chapter 9.
