Networking
The two systems are networked with one another in accordance with the rules of
the respective systems FCnet/SAFEDLINK or SIGMANET.
You will find detailed information on Sigmasys networking or D100 P system
networking in the corresponding planning instructions, documents A24205-A334-
A846 and A24205-A337-A970. See chapter 'Applicable documents'.
Module bus cards
● Max. two module bus cards:
– ↑ Detector line cards
– I/O cards
Configuration and operation
SOC component
Software from V4.7 onwards; it is no longer necessary
for all SOC components to be replaced with SOP-P.
SIGMANET Person
Machine Interface
Software from V4.8 onwards
SMC base plate Software from V4.8 onwards
SOC P component Software from V9.0 onwards
MAP P component Software from V9.0 onwards
Configuration tool PLAND100 from V9.2 Release 4 onwards
Table 1: Supported SIGMASYS/D100 software versions for connection to FG2020
FG2020 is configured using the PC software FXS2002 (SintesoWorks) with a
PLAN D100 export. SintesoWorks and the FG2020 are connected locally via
Ethernet or via remote access.
According to VDE 0833, the SIGMASYS/D100 P coupling control panel may need
to be equipped with a double CPU, depending on the size of the ↑ site.
4.3 Extended networking
An Ethernet switch (modular) FN2012 can be used to consolidate several
networked FS20 fire detection systems to make one composite network
(FCnet/LAN).
This FCnet/LAN is connected via an Ethernet switch (modular) to the individual
FCnet/SAFEDLINK sub-nets in a loop by means of fiber optic cables.
This allows smaller sub-nets to be networked over large distances using a fast
main network. Individual buildings can therefore be connected to a network as sub-
networks, for example.
4.3.1 Extended redundant networking
To retain redundant networking in an extended network in accordance with EN 54,
all network nodes in a sub-net must be connected to the FCnet/LAN via two
Ethernet switches (modular) or ↑ stations. Stations are configured as routers and
monitor one another. If the active ↑ router station fails, the ↑ standby router station
automatically takes over its function.
This type of redundant networking is used for sub-networks with one or more of the
following criteria:
● More than 512 FDnet detectors
● On a monitored surface of more than 12,000 m
2
● If a station takes over system-wide remote transmission
