SmartConnect Multi-Loop RS485 Network Module (SCM-NM)

SmartConnect Multi-Loop RS485 Network Module

The Smart Connect Multiloop system network has the facility to monitor, indicate and control the functions of a fire alarm installation, thus allowing signals to be distributed around a large site.

The network will accommodate upto 64 nodes. The network uses RS485 data communication and a total network cable length of up to 10km is possible.

On a Smart Connect Multiloop running in a network, all events are reported at all panels are able to remotely program other panels sitting on the network. Operaton of outputs over the netowwrk is determind by the programmed cause & effetcs. Any input on the network can be programmed to operate any output.

Features

• Designed to EN54 requirements
• Peer-to-peer networking
• Comprehensive cross network cause & effects
• Remote programming over the network
• The network can be configured with either a ring or bus topology
