3.2 Networking
Up to 32 panel controllers, remote keypads and OPC servers can be combined to form a
network.
Depending on the intended application, different panel controllers and remote keypads can
be divided into groups and defined as network nodes or local nodes. As a rule, within any
given group, only the status of control panels within the defined group can be displayed. The
status of all control panels can be displayed and/or processed from network nodes,
irrespective of the group to which the panels belong.
There are three possible connection topologies that can be used for networking via the CAN1
and CAN2 interfaces:
–Non-redundant bus via CAN1
– Redundantly via the CAN1 and CAN2 buses
– Redundantly via CAN1 and CAN2 as a loop
FOC Networking
In a loop, panels can be connected using fiber optic cables via CAN/FOC adapters.
The PSI-MOS-DNET CAN/FO CAN/FOC converters from Phoenix Contact allow up to 32 panel
controllers to be connected. The maximum cable length is 700 m. For details on the design
and configuration, refer to the technical information: FPA 5000 network via fiber optic
converters "Phoenix Contact - PSI-MOS-DNET CAN/FO". This can be found on the "Bosch
Security Systems Extranet" at www.boschsecurity.net/extranet.
The CAN/FOC converters from EKS enable distances of up to 15 km between two nodes to be
overcome in a network (depending on the converter type and the fiber optic cable used). The
following converters are available (PzP CAN FOC system/MM):
– DL-CAN/1x13-MM-ST
– DL-CAN/1x13-MM-SC
– DL-CAN/1x13-SM-ST
– DL-CAN/1x13-SM-SC
