Introduction 1 Introduction The MM8000 is a professional management and monitoring system for integrating a variety of security and safety systems. Primary users of the MM8000 are the security and safety guards. Other users are the shift managers responsible for investigating event history and the creation of analytical reports based on historical data. 1.
Introduction Support Access Control Integration In order to allow for a comprehensive security solution, the MM8000 can integrate the Siemens SiPass access control system. In the combined solution, the SiPass software is used for the specific access control configuration, whereas the MM8000 offers the harmonised event treatment and the general security management.
Introduction 1.2 Features and benefits The MM8000 system offers the following features: • Flexibility – The system can be built and configured to best fit your actual situation. MM8000 can be used with brand new installations, as well as to enhance or extend existing systems. • Scalability – MM8000 will easily grow with your needs if support for more subsystems, disciplines, and stations are needed. • Reliability – The MM8000 is based on the concept of autonomous subsystems and distributed control.
Functional capabilities 2 Functional capabilities This chapter describes important security tasks the MM8000 can do. It also describes some optional features, and tells how to perform some common tasks. 2.1 User interface MM8000 user interface categories The MM8000 user interface can be broken into six primary categories: • MM8000 Summary bar – gives a fast overview about the current state of the system and acts as your entryway to the rest of the system.
Functional capabilities Fig. 2 Event list The plant browser is where you control systems and detectors The plant browser contains a graphical display of all the detectors and cameras in your site. From the plant browser, you can review the status of the site, select and change the state of a detector, a group of detectors, or a single data-point. Fig.
Functional capabilities Fig. 4 History browser The scheduler is where organisation modes and time programs are handled Organisation modes are predefined and use the system calendar. An organisation mode can be a workday, night-time, holiday, lunchtime, or any block of time when the system must behave in a certain way. Time programs specify when something will happen within the system.
Functional capabilities and permissions using the SiPass software, whereas the event handling functions are taken on by MM8000. Fig. 6 2.1.1 SiPass application integrated with MM8000 Event announcement Depending on how the MM8000 is configured, the following occurs when a new event is triggered: • The event counter that corresponds with the event category becomes active. • An audio message or horn sounds. This sound can be configured to change by category and risk level.
Functional capabilities The MM8000 can also be configured to notify the operator of new events with a message box. From the message box, the operator can choose to accept the event and treat it immediately, or reject it, thus postponing the treatment. Fig. 7 Active event display showing event icons (on left) and event list Event colour coding All events do not have the same level of urgency.
Functional capabilities Manual selection from the event list The list of events is displayed in order of priority as described above (on page 12). Depending on how you choose to configure the system, the operator may choose which event to treat first, or may be required to treat them in order of priority. To select and treat an event manually, click the event icon. Automatic display of events A system configuration for this feature automatically opens the treatment window when an event occurs.
Functional capabilities These steps can vary depending on the event type and time of occurrence so as to provide a specific, context-sensitive guidance. The event will remain open until these steps have been completed. With free treatment, the operator is free to choose from a set of tools, as he deems appropriate in that situation. The assisted treatment tool list includes: • Starting a Windows application • Displaying an assistance text. • Starting a secured (limited) web browser and show an HTML page.
Functional capabilities 2.1.4 Assisted treatment The treatment area is composed of the fast treatment window above, and the guided treatment checklist and information display underneath. (See Fig. 10.) Commands are always performed in the fast treatment window, while guidance and information is provided in the windows below. • To enter assisted treatment, double-click the event icon located in the event icon area on the left side of the monitor. 2.1.4.
Functional capabilities numbers are predefined in the Windows Address Book so that important information can be sent automatically or selected manually by a simple click. The Address Book can be easily modified at runtime by authorised users. Alarm verification via CCTV Live and recorded CCTV images can be played during treatment providing immediate alarm verification. The camera covering the alarmed area is selected automatically and the corresponding images are directed to the screen.
Functional capabilities Alarm printouts Treatment steps and graphic maps can be printed out automatically or upon request in order to provide the operator for a hard copy of the operating instructions. Report forms If this option is a step of an assisted treatment procedure, a form appears on the right when you click the text in the checklist. Complete the required fields and click the check box when finished. The report automatically compiles and no further action is required.
Functional capabilities Fig. 10 Assisted treatment mode window – Guided treatment display Free mode The free treatment can provide the tools described above for guided treatment – namely graphics, intranet pages, dialler, e-mail/SMS dispatching, and report - but without a guided checklist. Instead, the tools are available on the toolbar for the operator to select them as desired. (See Fig. 11.) Fig. 11 Assisted treatment mode window – free treatment display (tools on left) 2.1.4.
Functional capabilities suspend the fault, and then return to assisted treatment of the first event with minimal loss of time. 2.1.5 Plant browser The MM8000 Plant browser is the tool for navigating through the various levels of your facility. It provides comprehensive information about the subsystem hierarchy of all the available sites. The MM8000 Plant browser allows you to view detailed information about your security management system.
Functional capabilities Fig. 12 Plant Browser – Multiple Views (geographical view is currently selected) Object status and control The information displayed on the right side of the monitor is in an area called the “information window”. You use this area to issue commands. For example, it may be necessary to deactivate or to exclude a device. You perform this task from the information window. (See Fig. 13.) Fig.
Functional capabilities → You start at a high system level, such as a building, where you select the floor, find the room you want, and finally get to the room itself. Fig. 14 Navigating in the Plant Browser Video integration Live and optionally recorded video are also available in the plant browser. The navigation tree and the graphic maps include camera objects that can be selected to display video images in relation to specific events or for general status verifications.
Functional capabilities Fig. 15 MM8000 Plant browser with video integration Access control integration The access control objects (doors, readers, etc.) are available in the plant browser. The object status is displayed in text and graphic mode and a basic set of commands (e.g.: lock/unlock doors, allow access) is directly provided.

Functional capabilities 2.1.6 History browser MM8000 records every event and action that occurs. It provides a powerful search engine that retrieves the data you need so you can export it for ‘off-line’ analysis, or archive it for later use. Following up with the History browser The MM8000 records and stores detailed information about events, how they were treated, and other related data, including audio (phone calls) attachments.
Functional capabilities 2.2 Operating modes The MM8000 application can be set up to run in one of the three operating modes: closed system, modified closed, or open system. Closed system is the default configuration. 2.2.1 Closed system In a closed system, the client station is a fully dedicated security and safety station, meaning that the MM8000 application is the only application that can be launched on the station.
Functional capabilities Fig. 18 2.4 MM8000 reactions Sequences A sequence is a macro program, i.e. a set of written steps (instructions) entered with a guided editor. Once programmed, sequences can be executed by MM8000 and perform a particular set of functions, started by a manual command, a timedriven program, or an automatic reaction. The instruction set includes action and control statements as well as declarations of local variables for storing intermediate results (Fig. 19).
Functional capabilities sume the quiet state, indicating that the sequence is not running, or the active state, meaning that the sequence is running. • Time-related condition: the sequence is started when a specific time condition is verified or when a change occurs in the organisation mode of the building; in this case the sequence is the result of a time program. (See 2.7.) • As a result of a reaction: the sequence acts as the effect of a reaction (see 2.
Functional capabilities 2.6 Scheduler and organisation modes The scheduler is where organisation modes are managed based on the system time and calendar. An organisation mode can be a workday, night-time, holiday, lunchtime, or any block of time when the system must behave in a certain way. Additionally, organisation modes can be colour-coded to easily distinguish among them.
Functional capabilities 2.7 Time programs Time programs specify when something will happen within the system. Sequences are linked to time programs, and the time programs serve as triggers to activate the sequences. Time programs can be defined to occur once, on a certain type of day (such as “Working”), or to be repeated weekly or annually. Also, the exact time of day when a time program is executed can be specified, or it can be related to the beginning or end of an organisation mode.
Functional capabilities 2.8 Scheduled and manual tasks On top of the Organisation modes and Time programs, which are permanent configurations defined with the Composer tool (see 3.1), MM8000 allows for timescheduled functions to be defined at runtime.

Functional capabilities 2.10 Field connectivity The following describes the different automation level connectivity configurations available for MM8000. 2.10.1 Serial Serial connectivity is possible via RS-232 and Cerloop (via MK7022 interface device). (See Fig. 23.) MM8000 Management Station Direct serial connection Loop connection Direct serial connection Fig. 23 2.10.
Functional capabilities 2.10.3 Dial-up via network devices Dial-up lines are possible via modem (either analog or GSM) as a secondary or backup connection in the event the primary IP network is down, or as a primary connection if no IP network is present. Modems connected to the MM8000 management station communicate with modems connected to NK822x network devices, thus enabling communication to and from subsystems whenever necessary.
Product set-up & configuration 3 Product set-up & configuration When the MM8000 is installed at your site, it needs to be configured for your specific facility. The WW8000 Composer was developed for this purpose. Composer is an easy-to-use configuration tool that makes the process of customising the MM8000 for a site fast and easy. 3.1 Composer: the integrated configuration tool The configuration tool named WW8000 Composer is used to configure all FS-DMS systems.
Product set-up & configuration − Edit Grid: Shows a group of nodes and allows a fast configuration similar to an MS-Excel® spreadsheet. You can display or hide columns according to your needs. − Node View: Shows the properties of a single node. − Links View: Displays all linked nodes, and allows navigation between linked objects. Templates Each MM8000 project comes with project templates for setting up a number of different architectures. Fig.
Product set-up & configuration 3.2 The MapMaker: creation of graphical pages To harness the power of the geographic display and navigation available through the MM8000 user interface (during event treatment and in the Plant browser), the configuration environment comes equipped with a graphical tool called MapMaker.
System capabilities 4 System capabilities The MM8000 system offers solutions for a wide variety of topologies, enabling the system to be tailored to specific requirements. MM8000 is built to be completely scalable. It can cover a wide range of applications, from small to large installations, including single or multiple business activities managed by one or more operating stations. It is designed for use on small and reduced configurations, as well as on very large and highly redundant configurations. 4.
System capabilities Automation level The Automation level defines the network topology, or how the management and field levels are connected. It uses star and loop networks. Field level The Field level is where the elements are connected using detection and control loops. 4.1.2 Software architecture The MM8000 system is based on client-server architecture and runs under the professional and server Windows editions, including Windows Vista (refer to MM8000 datasheet for details).
System capabilities 4.1.3 Security architecture MM8000 allows complex criteria for defining user access and privileges. This limits user access only to functionalities they are entitled to as operators. Only authorised users have access to the MM8000 system. When a user logs in, the system checks their user profile to determine the applications, functions, commands, and/or services to which they have access, the events they will be allowed to treat, and the sites that they will be able to browse.
System capabilities 4.1.4 User interface features The user interface is compliant with the Microsoft Windows standard, making the appearance of the user interface familiar and intuitive. Many parts have been enhanced and specially designed for efficient management system needs. Information provided by most of the applications is displayed in a browser-like window, with the left pane containing the navigation methods, and the right pane displaying the topic.
System capabilities group definition and can be granted additional rights individually with the Composer configuration tool. This strategy, which conforms to the user administration of Windows, simplifies user administration, and makes it easier to grant multiple users access to designated functions. This also gives a much better overview of how the access rights are distributed among the users. Printouts MM8000 can provide journaling logs and alarm-related printouts on local and network printers.
System capabilities 4.1.5 Hardware architecture The following describes the different site configuration options you have with the MM8000. These configurations can be for one or multiple stations, or sites. They are: • Stand-alone configuration • Peer-to-peer configuration • Basic client/server configuration • Advanced client/server configuration • Redundant client/server configuration Stand-alone configuration The simplest MM8000 station configuration is the stand-alone configuration.
System capabilities Peer-to-peer configuration More MM8000 stations can operate in parallel in the so-called “peer-to-peer” configuration. This ensures the simplest redundant solution. Each station is actually a stand-alone, and therefore contains all the software layers (Client, Server and Communication). The stations can be connected to the Communication level configurations, e.g. NK822x Ethernet ports, which allow multiple routing. (See Fig. 31.) MM8000 Stand-Alone Management Station Fig.
System capabilities MM8000 Client Station Fig. 32 MM8000 Client Station MM8000 Server (Stand-Alone setup) Basic distributed configuration • Advanced distributed configuration: In this configuration, the server layer and the communication layer are installed on separate machines. (See Fig. 33.) One or more front-end machines can be installed for a large connectivity over LAN. MM8000 Client Station Fig.
