2.2 Typical construction of a fire detection system with network control panel

BCnet216

Basically the network fire detection control panel BCnet216 does not work differently than described

from page 15 in Chapter 2.1: "Typical construction of a fire detection system with control panel

BC216-1". The most essential difference to a single control panel is that the network fire detection con-

trol panel does not form a physical unit but consists of single sectional control panels which are ar-

ranged throughout the surveilled area of the fire detection system and which are combined to a virtual

control panel by a network cable interconnected in a circular pattern. A maximum of failure proofness

and cost-efficiency is achieved with this technique of optimizing the cabling system.

Figure 3: View of a typical fire detection system constructed with the fire detection control panel BCnet216

The system consists of

one BCnet sectional control panel parameterized as main operating unit (A),

further BCnet sectional control panels BC216-2 (with display and operating unit),

further BCnet sectional control panels BC216-3 (without own display and operating unit),

the automatic and non-automatic fire detectors that are combined into detector zones,

the acoustic and/or optic alarming devices,

the transmitting device linked to a designated alarm respondent,

fire control systems, information devices and information systems which are connected either

directly to one or more of the applied BCnet sectional control panels or via gateways to the network.

The stated devices can basically be connected to every BCnet sectional control panel. The operation

of these devices is independent from which BCnet sectional control panel it is connected to and is

made via one or more therefore parameterized operable BCnet sectional control panels BC216-2.
