Definitions of terms Definitions of terms Data Point The software representation of any item whose state can be changed. Changes of state can occur on subsystems, groups of subsystems, sections, zones, and detectors. Depth In MM8000 / MT8001 maps, a depth is a combination of layers at a zoom factor dynamically defined at runtime. Depths are used to create an additional navigation steps (diving) through the different levels of objects on a map (e.g.: area/section/zone/element levels).
Introduction 1 Introduction MM8000 / MT8001 can handle large maps representing entire building floors with as many dynamic points as required. MM8000 users navigate maps with zooming and panning controls. You can organise maps in multiple layers, which can be background or foreground layers. At least one background and one foreground layer are present in any map. Note: Zooming feature not available for MT8001 users. Map layers contain graphical objects, which own a number of properties.
Introduction Fig. 1 Map organised in multiple depths with increasing level of functional details You can associate individual points to one or more pages. An MM8000 / MT8001 page is a view, at a selectable zooming factor of a depth. The association between points and pages can be provided automatically by MM8000 / MT8001 tools and/or left to a manual setting. Fig. 2 A page is a partial view on a map’s depth 10 Building Technologies Fire Safety & Security Products 008904_a_en - DMS8000 MP3.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2 Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.1 General concepts Before starting the graphic configuration for MM8000 / MT8001, you need to become familiar with the following general concepts: Large maps can be handled by MM8000 / MT8001, representing an entire building floor with dynamic points. MM8000 users can navigate maps with zooming and panning controls.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.2 DMS8000 maps – general procedure In the Composer project, Maps are located in ‘Supervisor System Settings MM8000 / MT8001 System Logical Configuration Graphic Maps’. Note: Add folders and sub-folders to organise a large number of maps. When editing a map, a graphic editor containing all the required tools is launched. For details on using the graphical editor, see section 2.3.11 on page 32.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker Automatic association of maps to the points: A point on a map is automatically associated to that graphical map. In other words, it is associated to the page created with the map’s depth that contains the point. You can verify this association by selecting the point in the tree and then displaying the tabs named “Event Treatment Pages” and “Plant Browser Pages”.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3 Guide to map configuration This section contains details on how to perform each step when configuring a map. 2.3.1 For details on the tools available in MapMaker’s graphical editor, see section 2.3.11, p. 32. Creating a new map 1. Select ‘Supervisor System Settings MM8000 / MT8001 System Logical Configuration Graphic Maps’. 2. Select the new map icon . 3. Select the new map node in the tree. 4. Select the Node tab and then ‘Edit Map’.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3.2 Configuring a background layer 2.3.2.1 Using import tools A background layer is typically prepared by importing an external file such as: – AutoCAD files (DWG, DXF, SHP). – Windows Metafiles (WMF, EMF). – Bitmap files (BMP, JPG, PCX). Simply select the appropriate icon from the toolbar. Fig. 3 Inserting a CAD file An AutoCAD import wizard is provided for: Defining an area of the entire file to import.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3.3 Defining foreground layers Define one foreground layer Before inserting MM8000 / MT8001 points in a map, you need to create at least one foreground layer and then define a depth for it. Note that: Layers can be de-activated if not yet ready to be seen by the operators. Layers can be hidden during configuration for easier handling of multi-layer maps. The Background checkbox of the foreground layers should be unchecked.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker Layers parameters: Active checkbox – Select to show a layer during runtime / de-select to hide a layer. Visible checkbox – Select to show a layer during configuration / de-select to hide a layer. Background checkbox – Select if a layer is a background layer. Discipline Type – Specify a discipline to assign to a layer to filter what can be seen when activity occurs. Note: Event list and plant browser.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3.4 Defining depths Once you have the foreground layers, you can define the required depths, combining background and foreground layers at a given zooming factor. To create a new depth, do the following: 1. Select a zoom factor - use the tools shown in the figure below. Fig. 7 Zoom tools Note: the zoom tools are also available from the menu ‘View Zoom’.

Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3.5 Configuring the foreground Once you have defined your foreground layers and depths, you need to configure the foreground layers by dragging the points from Composer tree into the appropriate graphical maps. The MapMaker graphic tool provides a command for a quick arrangement of the screen for optimal operations with MM8000 /MT8001 points. To configure a foreground layer, do the following: 1.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker Fig. 11 Tree properties View options: snap grid and image placeholders If you wish to align the objects on a grid, set the option in View Options. There you can also enable the image placeholder option, mostly used to speed up operations in case of slow graphic display. Large maps: aerial view and object locator Large and populated maps can require special tools to localise objects.

Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3.6 Defining camera views The graphic tool provides commands to define the area covered by a camera view. At runtime, this allows for the association of the points located within that area to the camera images. To define a camera view, do the following: Note: Before proceeding, ensure that you have already configured the map background and foreground, including camera points. 1. Right-click a camera. 2. Select ‘Show coverage area’ in the menu that appears.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker Fig. 14 A B Area controls Select the top squared dot to move and rotate the entire polygon Select one of the other squared dots to reshape the polygon 5. Right-click again on the camera point. 6. Select ‘Set coverage area’ in the menu that appears. The point/camera assignment is recalculated. 7. Right-click once more on the camera point. 8. Select ‘Hide coverage area’ in the menu that appears.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3.6.1 Manually associating video cameras Video cameras are automatically assigned to points according to the coverage area defined for the camera points allocated on the map. However, a manual assignment can replace or be added to the automatic association. In the Camera Extensor tab (Fig. 15) you can see the camera associations and manually add one or more cameras. Fig.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3.7 Saving a map (and then re-opening it for editing) At this point, save the map as illustrated in Fig. 16. You can also use the menu command File Save, or the shortcut CTRL-S. To exit, select File Exit. Fig. 16 Save the map Then, if desired, continue editing, (click the ‘Edit Map’ button). Note: If the map is very large and slow in displaying, you may want to disable the ‘Map preview’ checkbox located next to the ‘Edit Map’ button.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3.8 Creating manual pages In addition to the automatic association described in section 2.3.7, you can also create your own pages and then associate them manually to the individual points. The buttons illustrated in the figure below provide the tools for creating and managing a list of pages. Fig.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker To edit or delete pages, do the following: Click the Open list icon to display the list of configured pages. (See “D” in Fig. 17.) The pages window appears. Fig. 19 Edit/delete pages 2.3.8.1 Associating a manual page to a data point Once manual pages are defined, you should associate them to points. In the ‘Event treatment Pages’ and ‘Plant browser Pages’ tabs (Fig. 20) you can see the graphic map associations and manually add one or more associated page.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker To associate a page to a data point, do the following: 1. Select the desired point node in the tree. 2. Select the ‘Event Treatment Pages’ tab. Note: To associate the page to the point in the Plant browser, select the ‘Plant Browser Pages’ tab. 3. Select the manual page in the ‘Preset pages’ pane. 4. Select the assign icon Fig. 21 A B C D E .
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3.9 Creating a default page You can also define a default page so that a graphic or text will appear for all data points that have no map associated with them. Proceed as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Insert a new map node into Graphic Maps. Select the map node, then the Node tab, then ‘Edit Map’. Import the desired graphic using the graphical editor. Name the page (‘Default’ recommended). Save the map page and close the editor.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3.10 Testing a map Pressing the button shown in the following figure allows you to test a graphical map as if it were active in MM8000 / MT8001. This can be used to test the depth navigation, the visibility effects, and any other map characteristics as if it were running in MM8000 / MT8001. Remember to toggle the test button back when you wish to go back into editing mode. Fig.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2.3.11 Using the graphical editor The graphical editor contains a number of tools to use when creating maps. This section describes the editing tools to enable you to create maps more efficiently and/or to customise them. 2.3.11.1 Using drawing tools Standard graphic tools are available, as shown in Fig. 24.

Appendix A – Recommendations about AutoCad® maps Appendix A – Recommendations about AutoCad® maps For an easy integration of AutoCad maps in MM8000 / MT8001 a number of rules must be taken into account. Limit the size of the map Split maps with too large a surface into 2 or more pieces. Limit the number of active symbols (detectors, push-buttons) on the same map to about a maximum of 200 elements. Parts belonging together must be present on the same map.
Appendix A – Recommendations about AutoCad® maps Create an “extents view” From the original plan, make an extents view, exactly as you want it to appear in MM8000 / MT8001. 1. Draw a rectangle on a new layer ‘MM8000 / MT8001_Extents’, with the desired drawing size. 2. Perform a ‘Zoom extents’ to view the result and note the values of the drawing extents with the command: EXTMIN = reference of the lower left side. EXTMAX = reference of the upper right side. 3.
