Network Programming

 

PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGY (CONTINUED)

4) Determine whether acknowledge of broadcasts is to be enabled.

Some of the messages transmitted on the network are "broadcast" i.e. not directed to one particular SID but to all SIDs. A single device on the network may be programmed to acknowledge these broadcast messages to provide some confirmation that the broadcast message was received by other devices. All non-broadcast messages are acknowledged by the SID that the message is directed to. Enabling acknowledge of broadcasts does increase the loading on the network.

It is recommended that if an F3200 panel is to acknowledge broadcasts then it should be the most lightly loaded FIP on the network, taking into consideration the number of circuits, amount of output logic and the number of display boards. If a PTM protocol translation module), NLDU (network LED display unit), NDU (network display unit), or PMB (Panel-Link MODBUS bridge) is present then it is preferable to use one of them to do the acknowledging of broadcasts, rather than an F3200 panel.

5) Determine NET MAF Configuration

This allows a panel to send out its MAF status/totals to other panels, which may combine it with their own, and the status of other panels, to control a single brigade interface. MAF status is not controlled by network groups.

6) Network Variable Setup

Determine what information needs to be sent to other panels using network variables. If individual brigade signals are required per panel on the network then network variables can be used to transfer status.
