The communication with the control panel is performed via the detector line.
Configuration is performed on the control panel. The output must also be
configured with a jumper on the input/output module. The modules are normally in
operating mode.
The modules can be set to test mode or localization mode for service work.
An external DC 24 V supply is only needed for the input/output module FDCIO221
when the jumper is plugged into position J2.

3.4.2 Input
With the input a status can be monitored e.g. whether a door is closed. The input
can be configured as follows:
 Status input or danger input
 Lead monitoring for open line or open line and short circuit
 Active when contact is:
– Open (normally closed NC)
– Closed (normally open NO)

Status inputs and danger inputs

Danger inputs trigger an alarm as soon as the input is activated. Status inputs
trigger a status change as soon as they are activated.

Line monitoring and circuitry

The input lines are monitored for open line or open line and short circuit. To make
this possible, resistors must be connected to the lines of the input. When an open
line or a short circuit occurs on one of the input lines, a fault message is
transmitted to the control panel.
The input must be potential-free.

3.4.3 Output (for input/output module only)

With the exception of the jumper, the output must be configured from the control
panel. To ensure the desired function, the jumper must be plugged locally into the
relevant position on the module.
If the configurations on the control panel and jumper don't match, this is recognized
and an error message is triggered.
The output must be potential-free.

3.4.3.1 Normal operation (output lines monitored)

The input/output module output FDCIO221 can be used for control.
In this mode the module switches the externally supplied 24 V voltage to active
status on the output. The externally supplied 24 V voltage is monitored. In the
event of failure, an error message is generated.
In inactive status the output line is monitored for open line and short circuit. This
can be configured and can also be switched off by the control panel.
The jumper on the input/output module must be plugged into J2.

Configuration
The following configurations are possible:
 After activation, the output remains in the following status:
– Permanently active
– Active only for a certain period of time. How long the contact remains active
can also be configured (pulse duration).
 Failsafe behavior when the detector line is current-free or in degraded mode
(e.g. in case of a failure of the processor in the control panel).
The error behavior defines the position of the output in case of an error:
– Output remains in the same position as before the error
– Output is activated in case of an error
– Output is deactivated in case of an error
– Responds to signal 'Degraded mode horn' like other sounders on the
detector line
 Monitoring of the 'on' or 'off' output.

3.4.3.2 Inverted operation (output lines not monitored)

The output of the input/output module FDCIO221 can be used for controlling (e.g.
closing a door).
In this mode the module switches the externally supplied 24 V DC voltage to active
status on the output. The externally supplied 24 V voltage is monitored. In the
event of failure, an error message is generated.
There is no monitoring of the output lines for open line and short circuit.
The jumper on the input/output module must be plugged into J2.

In inactive status the 24 V are permanently applied to the output and may keep a
door open, for example. When the output is switched to active, the output goes into
"open" status (= no longer 24 V voltage) and the door closes.

In this example, the door would also close if the 24 V supply were to fail, e.g. due
to a line problem (short-circuit, open line).

Configuration
The following configurations are possible:
 Output monitoring must be 'off'
 After activation, the output remains in the following status:
– Permanently active
– Active only for a certain period of time. How long the contact remains active
can also be configured (pulse duration).
 Failsafe behavior when the detector line is current-free or in degraded mode
(e.g. in case of a failure of the processor in the control panel).
The error behavior defines the position of the output in case of an error:
– Output remains in the same position as before the error
– Output is activated in case of an error
– Output is deactivated in case of an error
– Responds to signal 'Degraded mode horn' like other sounders on the
detector line

3.4.3.3 Output not monitored

This section describes the function mode when control is not monitored. An
externally supplied 24 V voltage is not needed.
Control functions can be performed with the output (e.g. close door). The output is
designed as a potential-free relay contact.
The jumper on the input/output module must be plugged into J1.

Configuration
The following configurations are possible:
 The contact is active when it is in the following status:
– It is closed (normally open NO)
– It is open (normally closed NC)
 After activation, the contact remains in the following status:
– Permanently active
– Active only for a certain period of time. How long the contact remains active
can also be configured (pulse duration).
 Failsafe behavior when the detector line is current-free or in degraded mode

– Contact is deactivated in case of an error
– Responds to signal 'Degraded mode horn' like other sounders on the
detector line

3.4.4 Line separator

All FDnet/C-NET devices are equipped with a line separator.
The FDnet/C-NET device is equipped with electronic switches which isolate the
defective part in case of a short-circuit on the detector line. The rest of the detector
line remains serviceable. On a loop line all FDnet/C-NET devices remain fully
functional after a simple error.

3.4.5 Diagnosis levels

The FDCI221 input module and the FDCIO221 input/output module largely monitor
their function autonomously. The following diagnosis levels are taken from the
different control measuring processes:
 Normal
 Fault
When a fatal error occurs, which makes the proper function of the module
impossible, a fault message is reported to the control panel.

3.4.6 Behavior in degraded mode

Applicable for the FDnet/C-NET:
When the main processor of the fire control panel fails, the control panel is in
degraded mode operation. Depending on the control panel type, the fire control
panel can continue to perform the most important alarming and signaling functions
in degraded mode operation.

 Structure and function

Behavior in degraded mode on control panels supporting degraded

operation
 Alarming is still ensured in degraded mode operation. However, in degraded
mode only collective alarming is possible. This means that in the event of an
alarm, it is possible to identify the detector line but not the exact location of the
module triggering the alarm.
 If the output is being used for control (e.g., fire controls), it will take on the
configured default position in the event of a communication failure or current-
free detector line.
 If the output is being used for controlling sounders or other evacuation devices
and degraded mode has been configured correctly, the output will respond to
the "Degraded mode horn" signal in the same way as other sounders on the
detector line.
Degraded mode operation on the FDnet/C-NET is not supported in the same way
by all control panels. The information in the 'List of compatibility' and in the
corresponding control panel documentation must be taken into account during
project planning.

7 Maintenance / troubleshooting

7.1 Performance check

The devices are automatically subjected to a performance check during the self-
test. Nevertheless, it is necessary to check the devices on site at regular intervals.

Recommendation:
 Check the devices every year.
 Replace heavily soiled or damaged devices.
 Check cables connected to the terminals and correct connections.
No other special maintenance work is necessary.

7.2 Test mode

For service purposes, the modules can be switched to test mode. In this mode, the
relay is not activated when activating the outputs. Only the LED is activated. You
will find more detailed information in the control panel documentation.

7.3 Localization mode

For service purposes, the modules can be switched to localization mode. In this
mode the input LED flashes continuously once per second.

7.4 Remedying faults

With the FDCIO221 input/output module, the output can be operated using an
external supply. This external supply must be protected by a fuse.
 Check the external fuse of the external supply.
