Configuring the FS20 Sinteso Fire Network

Scenario

You want to configure Desigo CC for connecting to an FS20 EN Sinteso fire system on a BACnet network.
NOTE: To create a new fire network, you can also use the network creation wizard.

For reference information, see:

• BACnet Networks for Fire Applications
• Block Commands and System Behavior

Prerequisites

• The fire control units and the network are properly set for networked communication. For configuration examples, refer to the Desigo CC–Sinteso Network Integration Guide or contact technical support.
• The Sinteso FS20 EN extension module was installed and included in the active project.
• System Manager is in Engineering mode.
• System Browser is in Management View.
• The communication network planning is complete and the following BACnet information is available:
• BACnet addresses: Device IDs.
• BBMD and routing configuration (if the BACnet network includes multiple IP subnets).
• UDP port number.

All BACnet routing mechanisms require a working IP infrastructure that enables proper communication between Desigo CC server or FEP and the fire system. Use standard IP tools (for example, the Ping command) to verify this communication.
For more information, refer to BACnet Networks for FS20 Fire Applications. BACnet solutions are widely discussed in the fire system Networking Integration Guide (contact technical support).
