COOPER CSA FIRE EC200 BMS INTERFACE

BMS INTERFACE

Cooper EC200 Dual Channel LonWorks BMS interface (without handshake) The control panels on a Cooper fire fighting network communicate using pre-configured network variables and cannot normally be used with a BMS where association is required. The LonWorks BMS dual channel interface (EC200) is an “add-on” to the network that translates pre-configured network variables into a set of unconfigured network variables that can then be associated with a BMS, giving full access to fire network data. The gateway has 2 channels: Channel 1: connects to the Cooper fire network Channel 2: connects to the BMS Key Features: Allows a Cooper fire network to be controlled by a LonWorks enabled BMS Uses Echelon FT5000 smart transceivers for high noise immunity 32-message input buffer Benefits: Compact DIN rail mounting enclosure Fully compatible with the Cooper fire network (no binding required) Protocol open to the third-party BMS system
