NM Mode
The UltraLink I/O processor can be configured to operate in Network Manager
Mode (NM Mode). In NM Mode, the UltraLink I/O processor acts as the Network
Manager, providing alarm outputs for a connected network of up to eight Silver
devices. In NM Mode, the Silver devices do not require a connection to a PC
running Silver Network Manager software. The supported Silver devices include
FlexZone, FlexPS, OmniTrax, XField and XField LT. Sensor alarms and
supervision conditions are assigned to UltraLink I/O outputs (relay or open
collector). When an alarm occurs on a connected sensor, the corresponding
UltraLink I/O output is activated. If Multiple alarm conditions are assigned to a
single UltraLink I/O output, the conditions are OR’d. A maximum of four output
expansion modules can be used in NM Mode enabling up to 136 distinct output
points.
Note: NM Mode supports only the Silver Loop configuration. The Silver Star
configuration (PoE NIC) cannot be used with NM Mode.
Use NM Mode to setup a network of up to eight Silver Network based sensors
that will report alarm, supervision and diagnostic conditions via UltraLink I/O
outputs. The 4 onboard relays on each sensor are also available for use in NM
Mode. UltraLink I/O inputs are not used in NM Mode.
Figure 77 illustrates an UltraLink I/O system operating in NM Mode with eight
connected sensors and a temporary connection to a Silver Network Manager to
enable remote maintenance access.
Note: The UltraLink I/O output point assignments for each node are made at the
sensor level through a direct UCM (USB) connection to the sensor (or via a
temporary remote connection to the Silver Network Manager). Each sensor
allows the user to specify the alarm, supervision and diagnostic fault conditions,
and the UltraLink I/O outputs they activate. The Aux Control for each sensor
must be set to Remote control mode.
Note:
The UltraLink processor’s Silver Network address is not used in NM Mode,
and does not count against the NM Mode address limit of 8 nodes. By
conven
tion, set the UltraLink I/O processor’s Silver Network address to 9.
Note: The output activation buttons located below the outputs on the UCM status
screen do not function in NM Mode.
