1.2.5 Communication Ports
The ZP3 panel supports 4 serial ports, known as ZPort1, ZPort2, ZPort3, and ZPort4, which
can be programmed for different functions. Two of these are reserved for the SCB-bus and
the Z-Net communication. The remaining ports are available for functions such as
programming the panel via a PC, and for connecting to other entities such as PC-based
graphics systems and building management systems, desktop printers and pager systems.
A number of communication protocols are built-in, and can be selected as required. These
are open protocols, which can be used for communicating with most external systems.
These ports are available in either RS232 and RS485 format, and can be connected via
either screened cable, twisted telephone cable using modems, or fibre-optic means.
Depending upon the media chosen, communication distance can be from 10 metres to 30
kilometres.
