2.2 Changes to functionality and features
This section presents the new features in MP2.31 that can have the most beneficial
impact on the market. Further detailed improvements and resolved issues are
given in the form of a technical report in chapter 4 at p.18.
2.2.1 General improvements
Product reliability
The long-term reliability of MM8000 has been improved addressing various defects
related to memory management.
Performances
MM8000 Software has been improved for handling a much faster:
– Data acquisition.
– AutoCAD file handling.
– Event selection.
– Graphic navigation.
2.2.2 User interface
Subsequent event handling
When an object generates a subsequent alarm, MM8000 provides now proper sig-
nalisations on the user interface: the event icon blinks in full colour and the event
sorting priority is raised appropriately (ref #5214, #5303).
See 006798 MM8000 MP2.31 Operation Manual.
Event generation is based on the logical structure
Previous events based on the physical structure have been moved to the logical
tree as long as a link between the two exists (ref. #5157)
2.2.3 NK8000 (CDI-WAN)
Support for multiple LAN/WAN connectivity to NK822x
Up to four MM8000 MP2.31 stations (three if serial connection is also used) can
connect to NK822x M2.11 using CMSDL/IP protocol. This allows for multi-station
solutions over LAN/WAN.
See 007083 DMS8000 Connectivity Configuration Guide.
Support for serial connection to NK822x
A MM8000 MP2.31 station can now connect via serial line to NK822x M2.11 using
CMSDL protocol. This permits to add local stations for small LAN installations or
for large WAN systems that require an additional level of event treatment.
See 007083 DMS8000 Connectivity Configuration Guide.
Advanced diagnostic tools for NK822x
The most important functions previously available in the off-line tool NW8204 have
been ported in Composer. This enables technical operators to remotely monitor
and upgrade the NK822x units.
See 007083 DMS8000 Connectivity Configuration Guide.
