FX-350/351 Series Programming Manual

• Inputs and common system status can also be identified second stage inputs. On two-stage systems, second
stage inputs activate correlated signals at the evacuation rate instead of alert.
• By default only the total GA, GA active, and fire drill status have the second stage flag set.
• Remote switch inputs may be associated with any of the common controls.
Groups
Groups are created to facilitate the LED point indication for a group of I/Os and also to facilitate the bypass
operation. There are three different types of groups that can be created
• LED groups
• Remote LED groups
• Bypass groups
LED groups are created to annunciate a number of input or output circuits, with the same process type, to an LED
zone on the RAX-332. A maximum of 64 groups can be created which can be correlated to a maximum of 64 LED
zones on two RAX-332 display adder modules. Each LED zone comprises of three LEDs alarm (red), supervisory
(amber) and trouble (amber). The status of the group is displayed on the LEDs depending on the process type of
the group, for example an alarm group shows the status of the alarm on the alarm LED when the circuit is active
and shows the status of trouble on the trouble LED when the circuit is in trouble; the supervisory LED will not be
activated in this process type of group.
Remote LED groups have the same features and functionality to that of the local panel LED groups, except that the
remote LED groups are annunciated on the remote LED annunciators. The same LED zone to LED groups
mapping is applied to all the remote LED annunciators configured for the system. A maximum of 130 groups can be
created which can be correlated to a maximum of 200 LED zones on the remote LED annunciators.
Bypass groups are created to facilitate the bypass of a group of input and/or output circuits. Bypass groups can be
annunciated ONLY on the RAX-332 display adder. There is a maximum of 64 bypass groups that can be created
which can be correlated to a maximum of 64 LED zones on two RAX-332 display adders.
Remote Switches
Input modules can be configured as remote switches to facilitate certain common control operations remotely. The
following common control switches can be associated with the input modules
• System reset
• Fire drill
• Auxiliary disconnect
• Buzzer silence
• Signal silence
• Acknowledge
• General alarm
