Fire Safety & Security Products

2 Introduction

Siemens fire safety and security products are designed to work together. While

there are many occasions where only one product may be used in a facility, when

combined our products create a robust and flexible set of architectural and connec-

tivity solutions. The possible combinations of Danger Management Systems

(DMS), network choices, and subsystems used in any given plant are extensive.

However the time involved with commissioning tasks can be substantial.

With the aim of reducing time spent on configuration, Siemens FS has developed

their products so that the DMS and the networks can all be configured with a single

tool called WW8000 Composer®.

The networks and subsystems supported by our Danger Management Systems are

always configured in the same way within the Composer environment.

What this document contains

This document compares DMS7000 features with MM8000 features and provides

recommendations and tips for the migration to MM8000. It describes configuration

procedures needed for the migration of DMS7000 Management stations and dis-

cusses in detail the use of the available tools.

What this document doesn’t contain

Details about the configuration of each DMS product are not included in this man-

ual, but can be found in the product-specific configuration manual.

Each DMS carries a different set of technical and behavioural characteristics that

interact with the networks and subsystems. These differences typically appear as

additional tabs in the network and subsystem work areas of Composer. However,

since these tabs are always associated with attributes specific to the DMS being

used, they are not discussed in this manual. This information can be found in the

corresponding product configuration manual.
