Issue
Would like to monitor and control points and alarms from an ESMI Fire Detection Panel in EBO.
Product Line
EcoStruxure Buildning Operation
Environment
- Building Operation Automation Server Premium (AS-P)
- ESMI Fire Detection Panel
Cause
The integration between ESMI Fire Detection Panel and EBO enables the user to visualize and operate ESMI Fire detection systems effectively from graphics in EBO.
Resolution
The interface between the ESMI Fire panels and EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO) is handled by the AS EN54 FIRE SmartDriver. The event and command information is sent/received by the Fire panel using RS-485 communication to/from the AS-P using the SmartDriver.
This resolution is in three steps:
- Enable communication via RS485 (INFO protocol in Fire panel)
- Use the AS EN 54 Fire Configurator to create the layout for EBO
- Install/configure the SmartDriver and create the Fire graphics in the AS-P
Step 1 - Enable communication via RS485 (INFO protocol in Fire panel)
This video shows how to enable communication from an ESMI Fire panel and an AS-P over RS485. This is a prerequisite for using the Fire SmartDriver in the AS-P.
Step 2 - Use the AS EN 54 Fire Configurator to create the layout for EBO
This video will give you a quick introduction to the AS EN54 Fire Configurator. The AS EN54 Fire Configurator is a Windows application that imports floor plans and configuration files to create the EBO interface, devices, points, alarms and graphics.
Step 3 - Install/configure the SmartDriver and create the Fire graphics in the AS-P
This video shows how to connect an EBO SmartX Server to an Esmi Sense Fire detection panel (FDP).
And how to create and edit the Fire graphics in the EBO SmartX Server, The fire graphics provide the user interface to visualize and operate Esmi Fire detection systems.
