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 organize 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 terminals. Map layers contain graphical objects, which own a number of properties.

Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 2 Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker Tools for creating and modifying maps are contained in toolbars surrounding the work area. You can choose to hide them if you wish (View → Toolbars). The default is shown below. Fig. 3 MapMaker user interface To create a new map, follow the general procedure detailed in section 2.2, p. 11.
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 build- ing floor with dynamic points. MM8000 users can navigate maps with zooming and panning controls. Maps are organized in multiple layers, which can be one or more background and foreground layers.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker view is depicted using a polygon drawing and the points within that area are automatically associated. MM8000 only:You can create maps for graphical navigation by defining views at different zooming factors. This can be done for physical, logical, and geographical tree structures. See section 2.3.4 on page 16 for details. A map can be exported in JPG format.
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 organize 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 2.3.13 on page 37.
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.
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 2.3.13, p. 37. Creating a new map 1. Select: Supervisor System Settings MM8000 / MT8001 System Logical Configuration Maps 2.

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. Insert Bitmap file Insert Windows metafile Insert AutoCAD Fig.
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. The Background checkbox of the foreground layers should be unchecked. Layers may have a discipline and category type associated for dynamic filtering.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker Layers parameters: Name: Layer description name, double click to rename. This column is fixed (fro- zen) and not affected by the horizontal scrolling. Active: Select to show a layer during runtime / de-select to hide a layer. Visible: Select to show a layer during configuration / de-select to hide a layer. Background: Select if a layer is a background layer.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker Note: The zoom tools are also available from the menu View Zoom. Instead, the View Viewport option allows defining the screen view using a numeric range (origin, extension or centre point, defined in pixel/metric units). 2. Select the New Depth icon to create a new depth. Note: You have one button to create a new depth, and another to open the depth window where you can also add (as well as delete) a depth (see Fig. 7).
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 When you close the graphical map editor (saving your work), the points you deposited on the map are indicated in the tree by a green square next to the node. 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.
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. Note: This functionality is not available for the MT8001 Management Terminal. 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.

Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker Appendix A – Limits and best practices Use a maximum of 200 layers. 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 400 elements. Parts belonging together must be present on the same map. E.g.: all detection zones of a section belong on the same map.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker Appendix B – Recommendations for AutoCAD® drawings For an easy integration of AutoCad maps in MM8000 / MT8001, a number of rules must be taken into account. Prepare the maps with AutoCAD prior to the integration into MM8000 / MT8001. Remove all unused layers Remove all irrelevant layers. Keep the layer with the implementation of the de- tectors. 1. Lock all layers you do NOT want to remove. 2. Put all layers ON. 3. Make a Select All.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker 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.
Configuring graphical maps – using the MapMaker Appendix C – MT8001 graphic guidelines Unless a clear concept is followed, the number of graphic pages required for even a medium-sized installation can become excessive. Here are some guidelines to help you achieve the best results: Use the same graphic for all event categories within the same part of the build- ing. For example, the same graphic can be used to indicate an Alarm, a Fault, or an Exclusion, etc in the south wing of the fourth floor.
