Distributed Intelligence in the GSSnet

The fi re detection control panel BCnet216 opens up ma- nifold possibilities for the realization of specifi c requests of fi re detection, especially in spacious buildings, high- rise buildings or wide-stretched areas.

The decentralized security network that has been crea- ted by BCnet216 offers increased security and reduces the total expenses due to a much lower cabling volume. The consistent ring-shaped cabling guarantees commu- nication between the sectional control panels even in the event of a line fault.

A sectional control panel of the BCnet216 is parame- terised as main operating unit for the administration of the GSSnet, all other members can be equipped with or without a display and operating unit.

The system is designed modularly and can be gradually expanded according to future demands. The maximum size of a BCnet216 comprises 127 network members, 9700 detector zones, 9700 actuations, 999 alarming devices, 99 transmitting devices as well as 199 logic sectors. Different interfaces are available for the con- nection of external information devices, e.g., a facility management system or a remote maintenance sys- tem.

As you can see in the fi gure below, cabling of the detec- tors is required only between two neighboring sectional control panels. This clear and fl exible arrangement of the sectional control panel creates a powerful network. In this way, most economical cabling and thus effi cient use of the installation expenses is guaranteed. Larger distances between individual sectional control panels can be bridged through the use of optical fi ber modems or long distance modems.

The entire virtual control panel BCnet216 provides for the monitoring in mid-sized and large systems, applying the same technology and the same software tools as with the single control panel BC216-1. This guarantees a minimum of training and expansion costs as well as expenses of the user and thus guarantees the optimal use of resources during the usable life of the building.

BCnet sectional control panels are available in wall mount cabinets, as 19“ compact version and in 19“ slide-in technology.
