Import CS11 Configuration File in Cerloop

Configure the Import of Map Numbers

In the Fire System Options tab, in the Import Map Numbers expander, you can enable the import of map numbers and set the objects whose description will include the map number.

  1. Select Project > Field Networks > [BACnet network].
  1. Select the Fire System Options tab.
  1. Open the Import Map Numbers expander.
  1. Select the Enable import of map numbers check box to enable the import.
  1. In the Add the map number to list, select one or more check boxes to add the corresponding map number to the description of the objects when importing the panel configuration. You can select area, section, zone, and detector objects.
  1. Click Save .

Import the Configuration File for each Panel

  • Valid configuration files for each CC11/CI11 and CK11 unit are available locally or over the network.
  • The destination fire network is configured, and its associated BACnet driver is started.
  1. To speed configuration, set the transaction mode to simple. See Switching the Transaction Mode for CS11.
  1. In System Browser, select Project > Field Networks > [BACnet Network] > [Cerloop] > [CS11] > [CC11/CI11].
  1. In the Import tab, click Browse and select the configuration file for this panel.
  • The configuration file is checked for errors and the Analysis Log button becomes available to show the check log.
  • If the configuration file is valid, the configuration file to import displays in the Source Items list.
  1. (Optional) In the Hierarchies Mapping expander, drag an additional hierarchical structure (physical and/or logical according to the database contents) from the System Browser position where you want to import.
    ATTENTION: Carefully select and link the node to the correct position, as you cannot change it later. The only way to modify the additional import setting is to delete the destination node and create it again.
  1. In the Source Items list, select the configuration file and click the single selection button .
  • The configuration file is moved to the Items to Import list.
  1. Click Import.
  • The configuration data is available in System Browser.
  • The Import Log button becomes available to show the import log.
  1. Repeat the steps above for each CC11, CI11, and CK11 unit.
  1. When finished, to resume normal operational monitoring, set the transaction mode back to logging. See Switching the Transaction Mode for CS11.

 

Map Number in Object Description Text
If the imported file contains objects with a map number (a numerical reference configured at panel level to point to an external graphic); this number is placed as a suffix in the description text of the corresponding Desigo CC objects. For example, Automatic fire zone 1st floor - Map no. 700.

NOTICE
Objects limit in a project

Based on the hardware category of the installation, there is a limit to the number of objects a project can have.
- The system prevents you from performing imports that would exceed this limit.
- The system warns you if an import would approach this limit (90% or more of allowed objects). You can then choose whether to proceed.
- In a single XNET Network, the maximum number of XINC modules supported is 4. If the number is higher, the system warns you that you may experience performance and instability problems.
- In a single XNET Network monitored by the WAN driver, the maximum recommended number of panels is 5; exceeding this number may result in degraded performance. The maximum number of panels supported is 12; beyond that, the configuration is not supported and we recommend that you contact support.

NOTICE
Incorrect Interpretation of Messages

After first import, if the panel configuration is modified, you will need to import the configuration file again to align Desigo CC. Failing to import the latest configuration file may result in an incorrect interpretation of field messages. An Unidentified event is generated in all cases when a message is received with no corresponding data point.
