System Programming
System programming involves dening the function of devices and their relationships to each other, referred to as
mapping. You can dene behavior characteristics of individual or groups of devices, map devices into zones, and
further customize your system using the panel conguration software from a computer.
e panel conguration software features include:
y Easy to use Windows-based editing techniques, including drag and drop between windows.
y Flexibility in conguring points into multiple zones promoting sophisticated mapping relationships.
y Simple sorting and grouping by select elds enhances viewing and analysis of data.
y Options to view points by type, address and function or description.
Mapping Zones Overview
Mapping is creating relationships between devices, modules and sensors and their behavior between each other.
Whereas, the “zone” is the framework in which you group the devices. ese terms and other related mapping
concepts are provided in this section.
Single Zones
e LEARN feature creates or maps a basic, one-to-one relationship where all devices are automatically grouped
into one zone. When all devices are in the same zone, and an input device is activated, all output devices will activate.
Please refer to the illustration below for an example of a one-to-one device relationship:

Multiple Zones
e panel conguration software allows you to customize the operational mode behavior of devices by grouping
them into a maximum of 99 dierent zones. All SLC devices, including the four (4) on-board circuits (I/Os 1 and
2, and NACs 1 and 2), may be congured to behave in a specic manner. is exibility enables you to congure
system points to maximize protection throughout your site.
By organizing devices into dierent zones, you can create unique relationships between devices for specic outputs
or events. e panel conguration software allows you to eciently group points to follow a sequence of events
producing the same combination of outputs into dierent zones. is section addresses how to accomplish these
tasks.
