NK8000).
Include To turn-on a detector (or section) that has been excluded (turned-off).
See also Exclude; Exclusion.
Interaction In NK8000, pre-configured automatic responses and actions that are triggered by a change of state. For
example, acknowledging a fire alarm could trigger an output module to stop the ventilation system, or a
change in organisation mode could trigger lights to be turned on. Local interactions can occur between
subsystems connected to the same NK822x. Network-wide interactions can occur between subsystems
connected to different NK8225s in an NK8000 Network.
Internal user In order to exchange data messages between tasks, DMS8000 systems require a Windows user account
that is used as an identifier to get the necessary permissions from the Windows operating system. By de-
fault, this user is called “DMS8000_PROC”. This default setting can be changed if, during the software
setup, you select the “Restricted Security option and fill out the fields for the account name and password.
It is very important not to change the data associated to this user in the Windows user list. Modifying the
information of the internal user will prevent the MM8000 or MK8000 tasks from working properly and require
a complete re-installation.
ISO International Standards Organization.
ISO1745 RS232 serial protocol based on the ISO1745 standard.
See also Cerloop.
Item class Also called MM8000 OPC item class. It defines the interpretation rule of the OPC data and the conversion
applied to adapt it to the MM8000 data object structure (CNAP format).
LAN Local Area Network.
Layer A layer is part of a graphic map. Actually, a map is made up of multiple layers that are shown together like
multiple overlapped transparencies. There can be Background and Foreground layers: background layers
typically include CAD drawing and other objects representing the protected buildings, whereas database
objects are contained in the foreground layers.
Logical view A view in the hierarchical tree of the plant browser. Logical view shows how detectors are conceptually
grouped in levels such as areas, sections, and zones.

Main view A view in the hierarchical tree of the plant browser. Main view shows the entire contents of the tree as they
are seen in the physical and logical views.
MAN Metropolitan Area Network.
Management level con-
figuration
The Management level configuration relates to the configuration possibilities of DMS Client/Server structure
itself, without taking into account any subsystem connectivity. The DMS acts as a management level gate-
way providing downstream connectivity to the automation, and exposing data upstream via the user inter-
face.
Manual task A runtime-programmed task defined in the Scheduler that specifies a simple procedure of up to two com-
mands on one or more points, possibly separated by a fixed delay. For example, excluding and then re-
including a zone.
Map MM8000 / MT8001 can handle large graphic maps, representing an entire building floor with as many dy-
namic points as required. Maps can be navigated with zooming and panning controls. Maps are organised in
multiple layers, which can be Background and Foreground layers. At least one background and one fore-
ground layer are present in any map.
Note: Zooming feature not available for MT8001.
Map v
iew A way of viewing data in the Plant Browser (the other options are Point detail view and Video view). With
Map view, you see data about detectors, areas, sections, etc. in a geographical layout. You can navigate
through the map as an alternative to the hierarchical tree.
Menu The menu is located to the right of the summary bar. It contains a drop-down list of the different functions
available in the system. Only the functions shown in black (not in grey) are active and available for use by
the operator. These are determined by the operator’s user permissions.
Metafile A configuration file that is generated by the configuration tool of a corresponding control unit. It contains all
the details of the local configuration (all the objects handled by a particular control unit). The information in
this file can be read by and integrated into the DMS8000 internal database (import procedures), ensuring
accuracy, and saving configuration time.
