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 situa-

tion. 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 sub-

systems, disciplines, and stations are needed.

• Reliability – The MM8000 is based on the concept of autonomous subsystems

and distributed control. Furthermore, redundant configurations can be imple-

mented.

• Security – The operator will have access to exactly what you defined. Not less,

not more.

The MM8000 offers the following benefits:

• Safe – The intuitive user interface helps users avoid mistakes;

• Easy – The user has full guidance for event treatment, or control of the site.

• Open System Philosophy – The use of widespread standards and state of the

art technologies, in combination with the modular concept ensures that new fea-

tures and functions might be added during the entire lifecycle of the product.

The design of the MM8000 takes advantage of the latest products and tech-

nologies available to cover future needs.

• Integrated solutions – Fire and intrusion protection as well as video surveil-

lance and access control are fully integrated in the MM8000 functions. Building

safety and security can be completely controlled and coordinated by a unique

system.

• Openness – Connection to head-end systems (e.g. BMS, Building Manage-

ment Systems) is directly possible via OPC (MM8000 can optionally include the

MK8000 OPC server).

Also, integration with 3

party field units is possible via local or networked OPC

connection (MM8000 can be configured to handle OPC DA links as a client sta-

tion) or via NK8000 network (a specific development kit called “NK8000 Open”

kit is available).
