Logical and physical structure

5 Logical and physical structure

	In the FC700A fire detection system, the logical structure is completely separated
	from the physical structure. This enables the greatest possible flexibility. Display
	and control terminal are based on the geographical and organizational aspects and
	are independent of the actual hardware installation of the detector network.

		Room 102
	ground floor	Room 103
		Room 104
		Room 104 (Zone)

Logical structure

The logical structure is a configuration of the geographical features of a system. It can be modified easily to the building structure, room utilization etc.

Within the same control unit the logical structure is independent of the wiring of the detector network.

Linking

The lowest levels of both structures are linked to each other. It is determined which physical devices (e.g. detectors) are in which logical or geographical location.

1Calibrated according to cable impedance: 50Ω (MICC) / 110Ω (G51, ø 0.8mm, not shielded)

6.2Modifying the impedance of the various C-Bus cables

C-Bus standard cables have a characteristic impedance of 110Ω. The driver and end-of-line resistors are soldered to solder lugs and can be adapted accordingly with other characteristic impedances (see diagram chapter 6.2.1).

1. Explanation

A cable must be terminated with resistors. The resistance value must correspond to the impedance of the cable. Each C-Bus user has four end-of-line resistors (Ri). In addition two driver resistors (Rd) are integrated on the p.c.b. In order that the resistors can be exchanged easily they are all soldered to solder lugs.

C-Bus p.c.b.	Ri	Rd
B3Q700	R31 ... R34	R49, R50
E3H020	R173, R174, R177, R178	R180, R183

The driver resistors specify the current on the C-Bus. In order that the signal on the

C-Bus always has the same amplitude (1.35Vpp), the following correlation is valid:

Rd = Ri x 3,65 (45Ω < Ri < 200Ω)

Rd [Ohm]

2.Procedure

Request characteristic impedance of the cable from manufacturer (45Ω ... 200Ω) Select the value of the Ri the same as the value of the cable characteristic im-

pedance and insert the four end-of-line resistors on the p.c.b. Insert two driver resistors Rd = Ri x 3.65 on the p.c.b. Each C-Bus user must be adapted

If only the inductance and the capacitance are known for a cable, the impedance can be calculated with the aid of the following formula:

Zc =	Lc
	Cc

Zc:	Cable impedance [Ω]
Lc:	Cable inductance [µH]
Cc:	Cable capacitance [µF]

3. Mixing of different types of cable

In a C-Bus loop (or stub line) only one type of cable may be used. 4. Operation as a stub line

If the C-Bus is operated as a stub line, two end-of-line resistors (values as for Ri) must be inserted externally at both ends of the line (default 110Ω). In the choice of other cables the above rules apply (the Ri are in this case the external end-of-line resistors).

This chapter describes the quantitative limits of the FC700A station.

The selection of the station type depends on the requirements. The following variants are available:

			Flash ROM	SRAM
	Station type	Modules	(2x1024Kx8Bit)		EPROM set	RAM set
				Soldered
			'Program file'
	FC700A	B3Q700	CIY00760	4x512Kx8Bit	–	–
	FT700A	B3Q700	CTY00760	4x512Kx8Bit	–	–

8.1Main CPU limits

8.1.1Maximum number of devices

1000 devices (with AMPK=1) per FC700A.

8.1.2Limits in the logical structure

The limits in the logical structure are given by the node-type, by the highest possible CSX number and the maximum amount of display-digits. These limits are given by the system and are independent of the memory capacity.

Table 'Limits of the logical structure'

Maximum rating	Maximum rating	Maximum rating	Maximum rating
AREAS per STATION	SECTIONS per AREA	ZONES per SECTION	ELEMENTS per ZONE
... 4	…255	…255	…99
			International 5: …255

8.1.3Maximum number of criteria in zones control 4 and 6

The maximum number of control zones with 16 criteria is limited by 200.

To optimize the performance of your system minimize the number of CPU-overlapping controls as much as possible.

A maximum of 40 CPU-overlapping controls (zone control 6) are admissible per C-Bus.

8.1.4Maximum number of ZONE time channel

Max. 16 ZONES time channel are permitted per station.

8.1.6Limits of 5V supply

All I-Bus modules are supplied with 24V and 5V. The available current for the 5V, supplied from main CPU is limited:

'Main CPU'	Available current
B3Q700 / E3C011	250mA

Table '5V-Current consumption of I-Bus modules'

	I-Bus module	Current consumption	I-Bus module	Current consumption
		from 'Main CPU'		from 'Main CPU'
	E3M080	55mA	E3G060	10mA
	E3M111	25mA	E3G070	10mA
	E3L020	10mA	E3C011	12mA
	E3L030	35mA	E3I020*	100mA
	E3G050	8mA	E3I040	70mA

*Not an I-Bus module, but supplied via the 'Main CPU'

8.2Control terminal limits (FC/FT)

8.2.1Limitation of visible texts on a FC700A

The number of texts of other stations (i.e. AREAS) that can be displayed on one control terminal is limited by 14'000 texts.

To evaluate how many control panels FC700A can be displayed to one FC700A,

the following calculation must be used:

Twice the number of visible sections (worst case 1000)

+The number of visible ZONES (worst case 1000)

+The number of visible ELEMENTS with element text (worst case 1000)

= Number of texts per FC/FT (worst case 4000)

Example (worst case)

14'000 : 4000 (e.g.) = 3 fully configured FC can be displayed to one FC

8.2.2Limitation of visible texts on a FT700A

The number of texts of other stations (FC700A) that can be displayed on one control terminal is limited by 14'000 texts.

To evaluate how many control panels FC700A can be displayed to one FT700A,

the following calculation must be used:

Twice the number of visible sections (worst case 1000)

+The number of visible ZONES (worst case 1000)

+The number of visible ELEMENTS with element text (worst case 1000)

= Number of texts per FC/FT (worst case 4000)

Example (worst case)

30'000 : 4000 (e.g.) = 7 fully configured FC can be displayed to one FT
