ANEL ISPLAY The BC-200 is fitted with a LED backlit 1/4 VGA resolution graphical LCD screen allowing ease of use for the operator by displaying multiple lines of information. The BC-200 uses the concept of “hard” and “soft” buttons. A “hard” button is one which is labelled with a fixed function (e.g. EXT BELL ISOLATE ).The functions of these buttons do not change.
N = 5 are isolated, refer to the list menus. There are three different types of point in the BC-200 system – real (or physical) points, virtual (software generated) points and network points. All points on the distributed ring and the Analog addressable loops are real points. Distributed points on field modules are controlled and referred to in “R.M.IO”...

The BC-200 system stores 4000 events. The history list will then “over-expand” to 8,000 events and once it reaches this level, will purge the oldest 4000 entries leaving the 4000 most recent entries in the list. This is an automatic process.
Page 49
The BC-200 system stores over 4000 shadow history events. When the shadow history buffer is full, the system will remove the oldest entries whenever a new entry is received thus leaving the 4000 most recent entries in the list.

This Config menu is used for adding and removing distributed field modules from the RS485 ring. Even though the BC-200 auto-detects any new modules and adds them to the system approximately every 5 minutes. You may have a module that is not physically installed yet, but you wish to configure its inputs etc. You can use this menu to add the module to the system.
– Overview: The BC-200 can support up to 4 loops of Analog addressable devices using various protocols including the Honeywell CLIP protocol, which can support 99 detectors and 99 modules per loop. On power up, the BC-200 programs the LCMs (Loop Control Modules) with the appropriate information for devices installed, and then the LCMs handle all the polling of the devices.

1.1.z8. If you need to span more than 1 module address, then you must enter the range via the PC Interface The scripting facility on the BC-200 is a very powerful feature which makes it easy for the operator to view and modify the control logic of an output and all can be done on-screen without the need of a laptop programmer.
For example, a fire trip relay (L1M3) is required to latch on common alarm and to be reset by push button 1 on annunciator 1, once all alarms have cleared. A script that will perform this operation is: L1M3 = CA OR (L1M3 AND !1.101.I1); BC-200 Manual – P/N DOC-01-013...
4. If ALL seven days are entered or if no days are entered, the script will operate every day. 5. The order of days is not significant. 6. If a date range, does not include a day specified, the script will not operate BC-200 Manual – P/N DOC-01-013...
1.2.o3 will go ON because the script will treat the isolated point as OFF (inactive). This may or may not be the desired action depending on the application. Note: Special Netpoints can be used to perform special functions on BC-200 FIP. See page 93 for details. BC-200 Manual – P/N DOC-01-013...
Example 2: There are 5 panels on an BC-200 network. There is a toggle switch on Node 1 which is mapped to a non latching input module L1M1. Nodes 2 to 5 have a local AC shutdown relay L2M10. Netpoints can be used to prevent fans on Nodes 2 to 5 from operating by activating the toggle switch on the main panel (Node 1).
If NZ mode has been selected in global options, NP996 to NP999 are reserved for special functions as described in NZ supplement to this manual. NPxxx cannot be programmed as ISOLM trigger through the keypad. Use PCI for programming. Points to isolate must be a list of detectors and cannot include zones. BC-200 Manual – P/N DOC-01-013...
4. If the alarm is still present, keep zone in alarm, otherwise return zone back to normal condition after 60 seconds. Note: Minimum time in alarm condition is 75 seconds (15 seconds to first test plus 60 seconds after alarm clears) BC-200 Manual – P/N DOC-01-013...

The minimum hardware requirement for network is two nodes connected via wire (or optical fibre). Network for the BC-200 supports up to 100 nodes. The BC-200 occupies a single node address on the network. Each network node requires a unique node address; the node communicates with other nodes via a Network Control Module (NCM).

9.7 M /HLI I ODEM RINTER NTERFACE The BC-200 PC Interface can be used to control the FIP using a modem and BC-200 PCI software. A global option on the FIP will enable/disable modem operation. 9.7.1.1 PC M ODEM Any non software modem should work correctly with the PCI. It is recommended to use a high quality external modem to allow modifying of modem parameters to solve any possible compatibility issues.
Notes: Pin 8 (CTS) on the CPU side has to be high (+5v) for BC-200 to print. If the printer/pager does not support Hardware handshaking (RTS signal), link pin 7 and 8 (on the CPU side) to allow printing without handshaking.
