Product Overview
The four (4) input / (4) output interface module (Model FDCIO422) from
Siemens ─ Fire Safety is designed to provide the means of interfacing direct
shorting devices to the Device Loop Card (Model DLC and XDLCf), as well as the
Desigo Fire Safety fire-alarm control panels (FACPs).
Model FDCIO422 provides the “built-in” ISOtechnology feature - intelligent
dual direction isolation meeting NFPA 72 Class X (Style 7) survivability
requirements. Up to 252 isolator devices per loop and in mixed-mode up to
30 devices between isolator devices (non-isolated devices wired in polarity-
insensitive mode). Additionally, the devices between isolators can either be
legacy ‘H’-series or the more contemporary ‘X’-series devices.
The isolation feature found on the FDCIO422 Intelligent Interface Modules
provides invaluable information as to the location of the wiring fault. When a
short occurs, the panel can identify the fault automatically, and the module
recognizes the short location (in front of or behind the device – simplifying
fault condition location in the application). A true time-saver versus typical
troubleshooting methods.
The relays and contact-device inputs for Model FDCIO422 are controlled at the
same address. From the respective Siemens FACP, the relays and input contacts
can be controlled as separate functions. The relay is typically used where
control or shunting of external equipment is required. Four (4) independent
input / output circuits are acceptable on one (1) Model FDCIO422 module.
Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.) dry contacts are monitored by
one (1) 4-Input / 4-Output module, (Model FDCIO422).
