Concept
The MP-C controller and IP-IO module, which are based on the same hardware platform, are installed using either of two methods: they can be snapped onto a DIN rail or screwed onto a flat surface inside a cabinet.
Concept
Other than responding to the initial fire alarm in an attempt to localize and minimize smoke migration, the other primary function of a smoke control system is to provide the firefighters with a means of overriding and controlling selected portions of the HVAC system (dedicated and non-dedicated equipment). The conditions in a facility can change significantly subsequent to the initial alarm signal. When firefighters arrive at the scene, it is desirable to provide them with the necessary controls to revise the smoke control system operation. This must be presented to the firefighters in a form that can be easily interpreted and operated to permit them to direct the smoke control response after that initial alarm. Within a listed smoke control system, the override capability for firefighters is accommodated with the provision of a Firefighter's Smoke Control Station (FSCS).
Concept
Each controller managing smoke control equipment that is of sufficient size/importance to be displayed on the FSCS panel must also validate the operation of the equipment. When the equipment is non-dedicated, the normal HVAC applications will allow detection of equipment faults. The controller must use proofing sensors to confirm the fan is moving air, or the position of dampers has reached the intended position.

The tables that follow provide a summary of all the equipment models you can interconnect to form the smoke control system.
Concept
In addition to the MP controllers and the b3 and MNB families of BACnet MS/TP controllers, the EcoStruxure smoke control system also supports the proprietary Infinet i2 family of controllers when connected to the AS-P-SMK smoke control server. The AS-P-SMK and AS-P-NLS-SMK Servers provide integrated support for the Infinet i2 controllers and has been part of the UL864 system listing since evaluation in 2018.
Concept
The Smoke Control Server managing the FSCS must monitor the integrity of the communications link to all other controllers that have any participation in the smoke control application. This will as a minimum include all controllers that manage air handling equipment presented on the FSCS graphic.
Concept
All modules and MP controllers provide a Status LED with different, defined functions as described here.
Concept
The interconnection pathways provided for communications between the smoke control system components, such as Smoke Control Servers (AS-P-AS), field controllers (IP, MS/TP and Infinet), Central IO modules and the IP alarm panel, are supervised with communications integrity monitoring. Also, the end-to-end critical control functions are supervised via end-device monitoring and feedback.
Concept
Common network accessories include the following:

You must install most of the controls products listed here in an enclosure that meets the following minimum criteria. After the criteria, several specific enclosure models are listed as examples of enclosures that meet the minimum criteria you can use for the smoke control system.
