FS720 Fire System Architectures

FS20 fire detection systems can be connected to Desigo CC to implement various configurations. The following are examples of valid system architectures.

Stand-Alone and Client/Server Systems

Systems for FS20 fire networks can be configured as a stand-alone management station or client/server network-distributed system.

In single station systems, the FCnet/SAFEDLINK fire network is connected to the unique management station via the GAP unit.

In local client/server solutions, the connection to the fire network is implemented on the server station that provides communication services to client stations.

Client/server solutions can also support multiple FCnet/SAFEDLINK fire networks connected to the server station over a network. Additional client and FEP stations may be installed.

SAFEDLINK Network

FS20 control panels (FC20) and terminals (FT20) are networked together on a SAFEDLINK, a fast and redundant network designed for fault-tolerant fire protection solutions that applies the specialized FCnet protocol.

Service Engineering

In the system configuration, you must define a network data structure (BACnet) as one of the Field Networks of the system to allow for the control panels data (SiB-X XML metafiles) to be imported and populate the management station database.

The tool can be connected to any FC20 panel (except the GAP) or to the Ethernet switch.
