APPENDIX 4 RULES FOR LOGIC EXPRESSION
1. Logic expression:
① Group No.: xx.xxxx first two numbers express controller No.; last four numbers express group code.
② Status code：xx express the status in the logic
- 01：Alarm
- 02：Supervision
- 03：Active
- 04：Confirmation
- 05：Output with confirmation
- 06：Output without confirmation
- 07：Trouble
- 08：Disable
- 09：Test
- 10：Active (only suitable for control group to active the output in this group)
- 11：Stop (only suitable for control group to stop the output in this group)
2. Format specification:
● “+”: “or” relation;
Example: 01.0001+01.0002+01.0003=01.0004; indicates that alarm of any group of 01.0001, 01.0002, and
01.0003 can activate group 01.0004.
● “*”: “and” relation;
Example: 01.0001*01.0002*01.0003=01.0004; indicates that 01.0001, 01.0002, and 01.0003 simultaneously
alarm can activate group 01.0004.
● “（）”: Priority;
Example: (01.0001+01.0002)*01.0003=01.0004; indicates that any group of 01.0001, 01.0002 and 01.0003
simultaneously alarm can activate group 01.0004.
● “！”： “Not” relation；
Example: 01.0001*!01.0002=01.0004；indicates that 01.0001alarm, and 01.0002 no alarm，active 01.0004
group。
● “+~+”, “*~*”: Abbreviations, but cannot be used in “[ ]N”.
Example: 01.0001+~+01.0015=01.0016; indicates that in No. 01 controller, any group of No. 1 to No. 15 alarm
can activate No. 16 group.
01.0001*~*01.0006=01.0007; indicates that in No. 01 controller, No. 1 to No. 6 groups simultaneously alarm can
activate No. 7 group.
●“[ ]N”: Total N groups simultaneously alarm; 1≤N≤8 (and N ≤ total groups);
Example: [01.0001, 01.0002, 01.0003]2=01.0004; indicates that any 2 groups of 3 groups alarm can activate
group 01.0004.
[01.0001~01.0003, 01.0005]2=01.0004; indicates that any 2 groups of 4 groups (1 to 3 and 5) alarm can activate
group 01.0004.
● “;”: End of logic expression;
01.0001.07+01.0002.07+01.0003.07=01.0004.10
1 2
Input Output
Page 62
Operating Manual of FC18 Controller
Page: 61/63
● “@N”: Union alarm in a group, 2≤N≤ total device amount;
Example: 01.0001@2=01.0004; indicates that any 2 devices in group 01.0001 alarm can activate group 01.0004.
Remark: when adding /deleting device in a group, the logic expression needs to be verified.
●When a logic expression need to activate more groups (output) simultaneously, use “,” to separate;
Example: (01.0001+01.0002)*01.0003=01.0004, 01.0005; indicates that any group of 01.0001, 01.0002 and
01.0003 simultaneously alarm can activate group 01.0004 and 01.0005.
3. Interlocking across controllers
Just directly input addresses of groups in logic expression;
Example: 01.0001+02.0001=01.0002, 02.0002;

APPENDIX 6 “STICKER METHOD”EASY FOR COMMISSIONING
In FD18 system, there is an exclusive ID number on each spot com ponent. Engineer debug staffs can tear it down when
installing, and fix to the equipment position in engineering drawings, so that after installation of all components, engineer file
configuration can be made. Detailed operations are as follows:
1. Open the package.
2. Tear down the machine-readable ID number.
3. Fix it to the corresponding position in engineering drawings.
4. After all installation complete, turn on the system, and controller will find all new equipments.
5. Now the system is “auto configured” able to generate alarms and fault with default settings.
6. Upload the data to PC, and configure through debug tool software in PC:
- Choose the equipment.
- Enter text information or choose corresponding technical parameters (such as sensitivity).
7. After configuration, download to controller and complete the configuration job.
