Concept
Fire Controls
Fire controls reside in the FDP. Most of them provide output functionality to loop devices and expansion boards that have outputs that correspond to the fire control output.
When a fire control output is activated, it activates the corresponding output on those loop devices and expansion boards. One example is the fire control Fire output, which is activated when the FDP is in fire alarm state. Fire output activates the output on objects having an I/O function configured as Fire alarm output.
When the state of a fire control is changed, outputs corresponding to the fire control output are updated to the same state.
Fire Control Commands
The commands on a fire control are used to enable/disable the fire control, or to activate/deactivate a test on it.
For more information, see Fire Control Commands .
Fire Control Test Mode
Fire controls such as fire alarm devices, disablement output, or extinguisher have a test mode that can be activated or deactivated.
For more information, see Fire Control Test Mode .
In an EcoStruxure Fire Operation setup, requests are used with schedules, Function Blocks, and Script Programs to automatically change state and behaviour of objects such as FDPs, loops, and zones.
