FireFinder PLUS
has an internal RS485 communication bus that allows for various ancillary boards
(add on modules) to be connect to the panel. These boards can be used to control and monitor field
plant equipment or the addition of an agent release module.
Where the system design exceeds the capability of one
FireFinder PLUS then other FireFinder
PLUS panels can be networked together to provide an expanded system containing multiple boards in
a variety of applications.
Some of these applications include:
➢
A Master / Slave (Main Sub) FACP arrangement (MFACP / SFACP)
➢
A Peer to Peer System
➢ Use of Data Gathering Panels (DGP’s)
➢
SmartTerminal
➢
SmartGraphics
A Network
FireFinder PLUS System supports a combination or all these options on a single network.
Each panel on the network is regarded as a “node”. The NETWORK BUS is accessed using a
Network Interface Card (BRD86NIC). The network configuration determines whether a NIC is required.
Configurations can be;
Master / Sub FACP: Where there is
one or more FACP’s configured as local panels then each report
the status of their associated zones/devices to a MFACP. There is no control between local panels as
the MFACP is structured to have full control of the entire system.
Peer to Peer: Each FACP user can take control of the entire fire system from any FACP.
Data Gathering Panel: The use of this type of panel may be installed where there is a need to have
field terminations only at one location and all control is performed by an FACP that is remotely located.
SmartTerminal: Provides the user with the ability to monitor the status of designated areas or an
entire site as well as execute specific interrogation tasks.
SmartGraphics : Is an active graphics system connected to the FireFinder PLUS .
