10.6.1 Configuration of a FC700 series
panel RBus interface
The routing of the RBus is controlled by the DIP
switches XP4 1A/1B, 2A/2B, 3A/3B. The switches are in
pairs as the A and B lines of the RBus are switched sep-
arately.
The combination of these switches controls the routing
of the RBus to the front door GUI or external devices.
The front door GUI communicates with the panel over
Ethernet, but may be configured to use RBus in Standby
Emergency Mode should there be a failure of the main
panel CPU.
The GUI and panel both have built in terminating resis-
tors, so external terminating resistors should not be fit-
ted to the panel. The table below shows all the switch
combinations.
The recommended configurations, depending on what
devices are connected to the RBus, are highlighted in
grey in Table 4.
Refer to Figure 21 to see the electrical layout of the
switches.
