2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 General
The FP1100/1200/2000 offers, as an option, unsurpassed networking capabilities with ARCNET using optical or RS485 for rugged, reliable and peerless operation. Products from the FP1100/1200/2000 Series can be added and removed from the network, which allows for easy expansion of the system. Optical or RS485 nodes are available on the network for connection to Building Management Systems, Remote Maintenance, PC based Graphic Packages, Inter-panel I/O programming and Remote upload/download capability. In addition, serial ports can be configured to allow for direct access to the network. The following devices can be put on the network: FP1100/12xx/2xxx Series fire panels FB2x00 Series black box panels FR20xx Series repeaters FR1200 Series repeaters UN20xx universal nodes

Network Card
Medium
None N2051 with NE2011 network extension module NC2011 with NE2051 network extension module Consult manufacturer for topologies supported Optical to RS485 and vice versa.
Disadvantages: Distance between nodes 1.5 km (maximum). Maximum cable length 1.5 km (bus and dual bus topology only). End-of-line termination resistors need to be used to match the cable characteristic impedance to prevent reflections. Not as immune as optical fibre to noisy environments. The ring full-duplex topology is not supported. The number of nodes is limited to 32 (bus and dual bus topology only).
High immunity against electrical noise The ring full-duplex topology is supported. The number of nodes can exceed 32.
2.7.2.2 Wiring
Nodes on the network are wired in a daisy chain where the bus enters and leaves each node. Two sets of three terminals are provided on each network card. In the bus topology mode only one set (channel A or B) is used. The number of nodes is limited to 32. Stub wiring is not permitted. Screens of the RS485 line must be earthed at one point only. Terminals are provided to terminate and to continue the screen of the cable. See Figure 2. Figure 2: Daisy chained - Bus topology: Correct
Note: The screen of the cable must be continued between nodes using the terminal provided on the card. It must be earthed at one point only through a link J2 on the card. Stub wiring is not recommended. Refer to Figure 3. Figure 3: Stub wiring: Incorrect wiring (Screen of cable not earthed on NE2011 module.)
2. NE2011 (RS485-module)
Note: If the repeater mode is selected for a specific node then that node is considered to be at the end of line and it must be provided with a termination resistor. Figure 4: Bus termination
Note: Nodes at the end-of-line must be provided with an end-of-line resistor. This is done through jumper J1 on the board. The screen of the cable must be continued between nodes using the terminal provided on the card. It must be earthed at one point only through the use of a link J2 on the card.
Disadvantages: It provides no redundancy for network communication. It is limited to a maximum of 32 nodes. Total cable length is limited to a maximum distance of 1.5 km.
2.7.3.2 Wiring
Wiring the nodes on the network in a dual bus topology is identical to that in the bus topology described in section 2.7.2 except that both channels A and B are used for redundancy purposes. Figure 5: Dual bus topology

5. Screen of channel B to be kept separately earthed and earthed at one point only. 6. Screen of channel A to be kept separately earthed and earthed at one point only. 7. Channel B 8. Channel A
Note: The screen of the cable must be continued between nodes using the terminal provided on the card. It must be earthed at one point only through the use of a link J2 on the card.
Disadvantages: It is a four-wire bus. It is limited to a maximum of 32 nodes. Total cable length is limited to 1.5 km.
2.7.4.2 Wiring
Wiring of the nodes on the network in a node-to-node half-duplex topology is shown below. Please note that the repeater option must be selected on the network card through a jumper. Both channels A and B are used for repeat/amplify purposes. Figure 6: Node-to-node straight half-duplex topology (RS485)

Note: The screen of the cable between two nodes must be earthed at one point only through the use of a link J2 on the card. Do not continue the screen between channels A and B on any of the nodes (the channels are isolated). The screens are to be kept separate.

4. RX 5. TX
Communication downstream from a node is lost if a node goes down. High cost. (If optical is used.)
2.7.5.2 Wiring
Both channels A and B are used in the repeater mode and the ring is closed for redundancy purposes. Because the ring is closed a single break in communication will not influence the operation of the network. All nodes are considered to be at the end of the line and to be provided with terminating resistors. Please note that because the network card is used in the repeater mode the number of nodes on the network can exceed 32. The maximum total cable length of 1.5 km can also be increased, but the node-to-node maximum distance of 1.5 km must not be exceeded. Note: Select the repeater mode through a link on the network card if the ring half-duplex mode is used. Only one node on the network can be configured to ring half-duplex (master). Configure all other nodes as ring half-duplex. This effectively means that only the node selected and configured as ring half-duplex (master) can supervise and report on a single network fault (loss of redundancy). For details regarding the wiring of the ring half-duplex topology, refer to Figure 8. Figure 8: Ring half-duplex topology

4. NE2011 Channel B (RS485 module) 5. Jumper J1 inserted 6. Screen separately and earthed at one point only
Note: The screen of the cable between two nodes must be earthed at one point only through the use of a link J2 on the card. Do not continue the screen between channels A and B on any of the nodes (the channels are isolated). The screens are to be kept separate.
12
Disadvantages: Return wiring is required to close the ring. Only the node configured as ring half-duplex master will supervise redundancy of the network and will report accordingly. There can be only one ring half-duplex (master) on the network.
2.7.6.2 Wiring
Wiring of the nodes on the network in a ring full -duplex topology is shown below. Please note that the repeater option must be selected on the network card through a jumper. Both channels A and B are used for redundancy purposes.

The maximum recommended length using Beldin 9841 cable or equivalent is 1500 m (1.5 km). Twisted pair unshielded cable can be used in low noise environments, but is not recommended. Specification: Single twisted pair with screen and earth drain Capacitance: 41.7 pF/m core to core 75 pF/m each core to screen Characteristic impedance: 120 ohm
Screens of the RS485 line must be earthed at one point only. Terminals are provided on network components to terminate and to continue the screen of the cable.
17
Note: The centre wavelength of the NC2051 / NE2051 is 820nm. The above measurements should therefore be made using this wavelength. Measurements made using other wavelengths (especially 1300nm or 1500nm) are irrelevant.
2.11.2 Restrictions
The maximum distance is limited (typically 12 m RS232 Specification). Distance can eventually be increased by means of line drivers. The connection is always point-to-point.
Networking via RS232 between two panels (universal node, repeaters and panels) is not recommended; the other side should always be a PC or modem.
2.11.3 Connections
When a PC is connected, a crossed cable (null-modem) has to be used. When a modem is connected, a straight cable can be used.

The ARC1/2 or SER1/2 ports on the devices can be allocated to the network communication functions NET1/2. None (default) NET1 (normally used) No network communications All network communications set-up to NET1 will communicate via the selected port. All network communications set-up to NET2 will communicate via the selected port. Note 1: Not all of these ports are always available on a device; please refer to the appropriate section. Note 2: Only one port can be allocated to NET1, only one port can be allocated to NET2.

A local repeater can be configured to communicate with only one fire panel and not with global repeaters or other local repeaters. For a specific panel to communicate with other panels, the status for each panel number must be set to one of the following (default is None): NET1 checkNET1 no checkNET2 checkNET2 no checkcommunicate on NET1, fault warning enabled communicate on NET1, fault warning disabled communicate on NET2, fault warning enabled communicate on NET2, fault warning disabled
Fault warning enabled means that when communication fails with that specific node, a fault will be reported.

22
NET2-
The baud rate should be the same for all panels. After the port set-up is completed, the red LED on the network card should come on steady (if there is more than one node enabled on the network). When the RS232 medium is used, NET1 or NET2 should be allocated to the SER1 or SER2 port. Under the Menu System / Configuration / Communication / Port Set-Up / Topology allocate the required topology to the port: Bus Dual bus Ring half-duplex Ring half-duplex master Ring full-duplex Note: The topology ring half-duplex master can be allocated to only one node on a ring half-duplex topology network. The node allocated to ring half-duplex master will supervise redundancy regarding communication and will report a fault if redundancy is lost.

3.2.4 Example
Figure 12: Network example
1. Network 1
Panel 1 will not give a fault when communication fails with panel 2 (the same has been programmed on panel 2). Panel 1 will give a fault when communication fails with the global repeater (0/1) (the same has been programmed on panel 2).

3.3 Notes
The FP1100/1200/2000 Series fire panels are delivered without a network card. The network card NC2011 (RS485), NC2051 (Optical) as well as network extension modules NE2011 (RS485) and NE2051 (Optical) must be ordered as a separate product.

All models have the ARCNET based NC2011 on board. All of these models can be configured as a local or global repeater. When configured as a local repeater, the LEDs (if present) will repeat the zones of the panel; when configured as a global repeater, two options will be available: i. ii. the LEDs will act as panel LEDs i.e. every panel on the network will have its own fire and fault LED on the repeater. (Global Panel Repeater) the LEDs will act as zone LEDs i.e. every panel on the network will have its own zone range, and all zones will be individually indicated on the repeater. (Global Zone Repeater)

Note: (related to this programming table): - The panels are not reporting network faults from each other. However, inter-panel I/O is possible because of the NET1 no check option. - The panels are reporting if their local repeater (if installed) is off line, but not if the global repeater is off line. - The globals are reporting all faults, even local repeater faults (via the panel itself) - The global repeater (Device number 4) will report if the universal node goes down.
