Each of the four data channels is controlled by a separate micro-controller which
provides all background supervision of the data lines (to the remote panel) as well as
sending and receiving Fire Panel information to the primary micro-controller. The
information from these four channels is concentrated into a single data stream and
sent to the NCC WAN or Desigo CC/Cerberus DMS WAN via the NIC-C. For NCC
WAN only, the HUB-4 communicates on each of four ports with either the MMX (XL3
Modem), the CMI-300 (MXL modem), NIM-1 FSI (MXL FSI modem), NIM-1W (MXL
RS-485), RPM (XLS RS-485), HUB-4 (XLS RS-485), HUB-4 (XLS modem) or up to 16
WAIO (Wide Area Input Output) boards.
For the Desigo CC/Cerberus DMS WAN, the HUB-4 communicates on each of the
four ports with either the HUB-4 (XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO
Modular RS-485) or the HUB-4 (XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO
Modular modem).
Using the Modem Block module, communication distance is 8 miles (CMI-300/MMX-1)
or 10 miles (HUB-4 to HUB-4) over 18 gauge twisted pair lines depending on the quality
of the communication wires (attenuation cannot exceed -23 dBm [CMI-300/MMX-1] or
-38dBm [HUB-4 to HUB-4] @ 2.5KHz), however, using conditioned data grade leased
lines from the phone company, the distance is unlimited.
Using the RS-485 Interface module, the communication distance is 12,000 feet using
18 gauge twisted pair lines.
OPERATION The HUB-4 can communicate using either the CMI-300, MMX, NIM-1W/NIM-1M or
HUB-4 slave Modem supervising the data circuit as well as the connected MXL or XL3
Control Panel. Each of the four independent HUB-4 channels provides the means to
transmit data to and from the XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular,
MXL or XL3 and the NCC WAN or Desigo CC/Cerberus DMS WAN Head-End System.
The HUB-4 can also communicate with up to 16 WAIO cards, supervising the data
circuit for them as well as their inputs. Each of the four independent HUB-4 channels
provides the means to transmit data to and from the WAIOs and the NCC WAN head
end system. In addition, the HUB-4 can support FSI protocol to communicate to an
MXL using a NIM-1W or to an XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modu-
lar using a HUB-4 slave so that an NCC or Desigo CC/Cerberus DMS will act as the
remote management system. Similarly, the HUB-4 can support FSI protocol to an RPM
in an XLS fire system.
The HUB-4 Card is divided into five main sections: four external link sections and a
control section. The control section provides supervision of the HNET data channel
(Connection to the NCC WAN or Desigo CC/Cerberus DMS WAN) and receives data
from each of the external links for transmission to the NCC WAN or Desigo CC/
Cerberus DMS WAN. The control section also provides on board processor and
integrity supervision. When installed in the XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus
PRO Modular system, the HUB-4 operates in slave mode.
