7.6 Data Output
The data output consists of a string of characters as detailed:
Format 1: <state1><state2><state3><state4>G<group><cr><lf> (No Descriptor string available)
Format 2: <state1><state2><state3><state4> Z<zone><cr><lf> (Descriptor string available for
conventional zones. If a group of sensors share a common zone number but not with a conventional
zone then no descriptor is available).
Format 3: <state1><state2><state3><state4> L<loop>S<sensor><cr><lf>> (Descriptor string
available for Loop and sensor.
<state1>N = no alarm, A = alarm
<state2>N = no prealarm, P=prealarm
<state3>N = no fault, F = fault
<state4>N = no isolate, I = isolate
G<group>= Group number of the device
Z<zone>= Zone number of the device
L<loop>= Loop number of the device
S<sensor>= Sensor number of the device
<cr> carriage return character ($0D)
<lf> line feed character ($0A)
Three options are available to select which formats are used
7.6.1 Option 1 - Physical Output Enabled
Uses Format 2 or 3, depending if the device that changes state is a zone or sensor. If a sensor is
also "zoned", then if the change in state of that sensor also changes the state of the zone, two
updates will be sent, one for the sensor (Format 3) and one for the zone (Format 2)
>ANNNZ5 Zone 5 goes to alarm on the main panel
>NNFNL1S3 Loop 1 sensor 3 into fault
7.6.2 Option 2 - Physical and Logical Output Enabled
Uses Format 1 and 2 or 3.
If a device is not "grouped" then the Format 1 update is not output.
7.6.3 Option 3 - Logical Output Enabled
Uses only Format 1.
Note: Ungrouped devices DO NOT cause any output at the BMS module.
Note: in all cases, leading zeros are truncated. All characters are ASCII, with the 8th bit clear.
