Thread Starter

Isam

We have FACP (Fire alarm control panel) and GDS (Gas detection system) in remote area. We would like to communicate if any fire alarm or gas alarm which shall be communicated to master fire alarm control panel which is located approximately 20 km away from FACP/GDS. There is existing FOC cable available from FACP/GDS to MFACP.

1. Shall FACP and GDS support MODBUS TCP/IP protocol?
2. Is separate spare core is required for communication of FACP/GDS?
3. If vendor can use Ethernet switch which can combine both GDS and FACP signal?
2. Is MFACP shall support Modbus TCP/IP?
3. What are the requirement from FACP and GDS vendor to communicate MFACP.
