designed by NOTIFIER Fire Systems, is an
EN54-compliant, peer-to-peer network which
provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for
small, medium or large fire detection systems.
A number of advantages are offered over
master/slave network configurations:
A significant increase in the number of
panels capable of being networked
Very fast message transmission times
High system robustness
Comprehensive diagnostic tools.
The ID
2
net offers a wide range of network-wide,
menu-driven control functions, including
disablement, test and detailed status enquiry
that can be carried out at any panel on the
network. Other key features included are:
a. Up to 32 panels/100 nodes per network
capability
b. Single-fault tolerance using simultaneous,
bi-directional message transmission
c. Fast message transmission time
d. Short circuit, open circuit and earth fault
protection per link
e. Verified delivery with automatic re-try if
required
f. Message delivery using token passing -
avoids multiple collisions
g. Predictable network time performance
h. System diagnostics - including on-site
installation/debugging and full network
transmission analysis facilities
i. Use of fibre-optic cables supported.
The ID
2
net is compatible with the following range
of NOTIFIER Fire Systems fire control panels:
