The Simplex 4100-6069 BACpac Ethernet module provides a supplementary communications interface that converts computer terminal information from a compatible Simplex CIE (FACU) into the building automation protocol of BACnet or any industrial equipment using Modbus protocol.
With this module, status information from the CIE (FACU) can be provided to other components of the building automation network with the detail and information format required. Providing this information allows other systems to properly respond to fire alarm system activity in addition to the primary fire alarm response that is under the control of the CIE (FACU).
Panel mounted modules provide fire alarm system status using the ASHRAE BACnet building automation communication protocol or Modbus communication protocol.
