12 Control Modules—Network Control Module 200 Series
The NCM200 requires Release 4.0 or higher of the Metasys software.
S2 Communications Tuning Parameters Modified for Telephone Lines
Due to timing delays over telephone lines, some trunk configurations may
require modification of the following S2 Communications parameters
(using NCSETUP) in order to bring the field gear online:
1. Delay between polls to field devices
2. The polling timeout delay
3. The number of polling retries
See the NCSETUP for Windows Technical Bulletin (LIT-6360251d) for
information on changing these parameters.
Directly Connectable Hardware for Each Software Type of NCM
The NCM Software Options Technical Bulletin (LIT-636023) in the
Control Modules section of the Metasys Network Technical Manual
(FAN 636), describes which Metasys hardware devices function, for each
type of downloadable software, when connected to that NCM. Please
refer to it for the latest software options.
The NIM206 is the only NIM now used. When replacing any NIM, order
the NIM206. For reference when using existing NIMs, the data base
capacity for a NIM102/202 = 300K; NIM104/204 = 600K; and the
NIM106/206 = 1200K.
Standard Functionality: Standard NCM
The load capacity for an NCM depends on the available memory
determined by the installed NIM, in addition to the software configuration
of the connected devices.
Refer to the Network Control Unit/Network Expansion Unit Technical
Bulletin (LIT-636020) for information about the object loading of the
individual electronic modules connected to the NCM via the base frame.
Standard Functionality: Fire Management
Along with the Release 4.0 or higher Metasys software needed for the
NCM200, the fire management software requires the IFC-2020
Release 3.0 or higher firmware. A fire NCM handles one IFC-1010/2020
controller with up to 240 fire zones attached to that controller. Each zone
counts as one object for the purpose of memory sizing.
