Eagle Quantum Premier
®
System
The Eagle Quantum Premier System (Spec Sheet 90-1150) combines “fire detection and
extinguishing agent release” and “hazardous gas monitoring” in one complete package. The
system is intended for use in hazardous locations and is designed to meet the requirements
of approval agencies from around the world. The system is Factory Mutual approved to
6310/6320 and compliant to ANSI/ISA 12.13.1 and CSA 22.2 #154. It is also ATEX certified to
EN60079-29-1 for combustible gas.
The system consists of a controller and a number of addressable microprocessor-based field
devices. The controller coordinates system device configuration, monitoring, annunciation,
and control, while the field devices communicate their status and alarm conditions to the
controller.
The controller communicates with the field devices through a digital communications link
referred to as the LON communications loop. As the name infers, the network topology is laid
out as a loop that begins and ends at the controller. All of the field devices are connected
into the communication loop. The communication loop is a specialized design to meet the
requirements of a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC).
The LON communication loop offers several key advantages:
• ANSI/NFPA Class A, Style 7 performance of SLC
• Peer-to-peer communications
• Expandability
The controller continuously executes the user logic programs that are programmed into
the controller. The user logic programs are set up in the same fashion as IEC 61131-3
programmable logic programmed into programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Function block
diagram logic gates are tied together with inputs, outputs, and other logic gates to perform a
specific task. A number of tasks can be tied together to perform a system function.
Typical programmed functions include flame/gas voting, timing delays, timing executions,
latching conditions, alarm and trouble notification, suppression control, condition control, and
process shutdown notification.
For complete system integration, the controller has the capability to communicate with other
systems such as PLCs, distributed control systems (DCSs), and Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition (SCADA). Different communication protocols are supported, allowing
the controller to communicate with other systems either directly or through communication
gateways. The System Safety Software (S
3
) package supports an OPC server option that can
publish system information to OPC clients.
