FidesNet: visualisation, operation and configuration

Applications

The FidesNet network solution is typically used wherever remote visualisation and operation are required, such as in airport high-security areas, laboratories, IT environments, etc., where technicians have limited access to detectors or where access is difficult. The networked SecuriSmoke aspirating smoke detectors can be configured via the RCU. Another possible application is centralised display and operation in a safety management system in order to monitor the entire installation from a single location. In addition to remote visualisation and operation, another important area of application is the ability to connect to other systems via standardised interfaces. For example, measurement data can be forwarded to the management system of a data centre to give an operator an overview of the system’s current status.

Operation

Operation is via the 7-inch touch panel of the RCU 700 FidesControl unit. All data from the networked special fire detectors is available on this display. Every detector in the network can be accessed via the FidesControl unit in order to call up detailed information, such as for maintenance work due. The detectors can be isolated by channel as well as reset in the event of errors or alarms. It is also possible to parameterise the networked ASDs via the display. The display language is user configurable. Available languages: German, English, Simplified Chinese. The networked SecuriSmoke aspirating smoke detectors can be parameterised via the RCU.

Networking

Up to 100 SecuriSmoke aspirating smoke detectors can be networked per FidesNet. The ASDs are linked to the FidesPort NCU 900 via RS-485 or Ethernet. The NCU 900 assumes the role of a data gateway for Ethernet networking. The measurement data of the networked ASDs is read out by the FidesPort and temporarily saved for further use. For hierarchically superordinate systems such as management systems, the data of the networked ASDs is available via Modbus and SNMP from the NCU.

Multichannel application with channel identification

Up to four REK 511 units can be connected directly to an ASD 535-1/3. The connected REKs are visualised in FidesNet.
