Building Safety. Building Security.
The fi re detection control panel BCnet216 opens up ma-
nifold possibilities for the realization of specifi c requests
of fi re detection, especially in spacious buildings, high-
rise buildings or wide-stretched areas.
The decentralized security network that has been crea-
ted by BCnet216 offers increased security and reduces
the total expenses due to a much lower cabling volume.
The consistent ring-shaped cabling guarantees commu-
nication between the sectional control panels even in
the event of a line fault.
A sectional control panel of the BCnet216 is parame-
terised as main operating unit for the administration of
the GSSnet, all other members can be equipped with or
without a display and operating unit.
The system is designed modularly and can be gradually
expanded according to future demands. The maximum
size of a BCnet216 comprises 127 network members,
9700 detector zones, 9700 actuations, 999 alarming
devices, 99 transmitting devices as well as 199 logic
sectors. Different interfaces are available for the con-
nection of external information devices, e.g., a facility
management system or a remote maintenance sys-
tem.
As you can see in the fi gure below, cabling of the detec-
tors is required only between two neighboring sectional
control panels. This clear and fl exible arrangement of
the sectional control panel creates a powerful network.
In this way, most economical cabling and thus effi cient
use of the installation expenses is guaranteed. Larger
distances between individual sectional control panels
can be bridged through the use of optical fi ber modems
or long distance modems.
The entire virtual control panel BCnet216 provides for
the monitoring in mid-sized and large systems, applying
the same technology and the same software tools as
with the single control panel BC216-1. This guarantees
a minimum of training and expansion costs as well as
expenses of the user and thus guarantees the optimal
use of resources during the usable life of the building.
BCnet sectional control panels are available in wall
mount cabinets, as 19“ compact version and in 19“
slide-in technology.
