5.1 Addressable/Analog Devices
The FX-3318 Series system supports one loop of Advanced Protocol and CLIP compatible
devices.
Using the
Advanced Protocol
the FX-3318 Series supports up to:
•
159 addressable sensors per loop.
•
159 addressable modules per loop.
Using the
CLIP
protocol the FX-3318 Series supports up to:
•
99 analog sensors per loop.
•
99 analog modules per loop.
Configuration is done via the MSW-042 software configurator.
Additional Information
•
The addressable loop can be configured for Class A or Class B operation.
•
T-tapping is not recommended.
•
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) is recommended.
•
Conventional devices can be used in a semi addressable application in conjunction with
MIX-M502M, MIX-M502MA, MIX-M502MAP, or MIX-M502MAPA Intelligent Addressable
Interface Modules.
