System overview

2 System overview
The SecuriFire 3000 system is a modularly designed fire detection system which consists of individual components and is
planned and programmed based on the individual system requirements. A detailed description of the SecuriFire 3000 fire detec-
tion system is in the document “SecuriFire system description”, T 811 167.

Control panel and SecuriLan

The fire alarm control panel consists of 1 to 16 control units (SCPs) which can be distributed in the building as needed. Operation
is from one location. Despite its decentral design, from outside the system it appears to behave as if it were a “central” fire alarm
control panel. When several SCPs are joined to a fire alarm control panel, it is called a “SecuriLan”.

SecuriWan 2.0
If more than 16 control panels should be switched in a network, this will exceed the system limits of the SecuriLan network. A
requirement such as this must be implemented by means of a SecuriWan 2.0 network as a superordinate fire detection network
that also works across locations.
For communication between the fire alarm control panels, intranet/Internet connections can also be used in SecuriWan 2.0 to
supplement norm-compliant exclusive networks. Existing SecuriLan networks can be taken over/integrated.

External indication and control map and bus devices

The external SecuriFire MIC711 main indication and control maps are connected directly to the SecuriLan.
Every SecuriFire MIC and some MMI devices have an EPI-bus interface. Up to 3 non-redundant indication and control maps
can be connected to this data bus. They can be mounted up to 1 m from the interface. This means that the additional main
indication and control maps must be integrated into the map case of the control unit or positioned directly next to or near the
MIC711.
External indication and control maps and other devices are connected to the indication and control map via the MMI-bus. Up to
15 participants can be connected to this serial bus and they can be up to 1,200 m from the control unit. Repeaters are not
required. Data communication is by means of redundant, digital communication lines. The devices can be freely combined with
each other and are not restricted to location. For normative and security reasons, the data line and power supply are redundantly
implemented, whereby they are separately conveyed.

Overvoltage protection
The SecuriFire 3000 system is equipped with a comprehensive and integrated overvoltage protection design which protects all
peripheral inputs, including the mains power supply in compliance with EN 50130-4 (EMC) and EN 61000-6-2 (immunity for
industrial environments). The EMC protection concept protects the electronics by means of a zone concept, Transzorp diodes,
filters and broadband decoupling of the power supply. Thus when the system is used in buildings with installed basic and medium
protection (lightning protection, mains overvoltage arresters), no further measures (e.g. overvoltage arresters) are required.
If system components are installed outside of buildings, or in the case of installations spanning several buildings, suitable pro-
tective measures are required: see document SF_AI09en_OVP 2.

Warning
Inductive loads such as holding magnets, fire damper motors, contactors etc. may only be operated with a contact
protection circuit suitable for the application, such as a flyback diode, RC-circuit or varistor. Especially during
switch-off processes, high voltages are generated which can affect the contact life due to arcs and possibly also
cause malfunctions of the relay contacts. In addition to the maximum switching capacity, it is absolutely necessary
to take also the start-up current of the loads, which can be up to 40 times the continuous current, into account.
 System overview

Earthing concept
The earthing concept used in SecuriFire 3000 with central protection earthing to protect persons and electronics requires that
all electrically charged components connected to the GND line of the SecuriFire 3000 control unit may be installed only in areas
and buildings which have regulation-complaint potential equalization.

Warning
Non-observance can cause malfunctions and/or damage the control unit and may endanger people.

Notice
The actual loop length depends on the number and type (power consumption, inner resistance) of participants, on
additional power load (number of switched on alarm LEDs, telegram current), and on the cable cross-section. This
means that for the optimal configuration the number of participants and the coverage range of the loop must be
matched to each other.
A tool is available for calculating the maximum possible loop length and the maximum number of participants.

 MMI-bus devices

8 MMI-bus devices
The MMI-bus is a serial data bus for connecting external devices and indication and control maps. Up to 15 participants can be
connected to each MMI-bus and operated up to 1,200 m from a control unit. For security and reliability reasons, the data line
and power supply are redundantly implemented, whereby they are separately conveyed.

Using the address switch, you have to set the participant address (1 to F) on each participant of the MMI-bus
that has already been assigned with the software projection. The physical sequence of the devices is unim-
portant; however, each address can be allocated only once.

Notice
The defined features must be taken into account (e.g. per control unit max. 8 indication and control maps, max. 3
printers etc.). The maximum possible distance of the last MMI-bus participant is derived from the power consump-
tion of the connected participants and the cable cross-section of the power supply.
B3-MMI-bus participants in the first version are NOT supported.

8.1 MMI-bus schematic

Fig. 76 Schematic drawing

MMI-bus devices

8.2 Connecting MMI-bus participants

The data line and the power supply are redundantly implemented. The power supply lines are laid out parallel to the data lines.
Power can be supplied from the control panel or from an external energy supply source. If MMI-bus participants and the control
panel are installed in different earthing areas, power must be supplied via an external power supply unit.

8.2.1 MMI-bus termination

The B8-BAF control board, the main processing unit B9-BCB12/13 and every MMI-bus device has two jumpers or two DIP-
switches for terminating the MMI-bus (jumper connected or DIP-switch ON = BUS terminated; jumper not connected or DIP-
switch OFF = BUS open).
The MMI-bus may be operated at normal speed (38.4 kBd) without BUS termination. On MMI-bus devices with high data speeds
(96 kBd), it is IMPERATIVE that the beginning of the BUS (B8-BAF, B9-BCB) and the end of it (last participant of the MMI-bus)
are terminated with parallel resistance integrated on the printed circuit board.

EPI devices can be connected via the EPI-bus to any MIC11/711 or to MMI devices with an EPI-bus interface. The max. total
length of the EPI-bus is 1 m.

Using the address switch, you have to set the participant address (1 to F) on each participant of the EPI-bus
that has already been assigned with the software projection. The physical sequence of the devices is unim-
portant; however, each address can be allocated only once.
