Redundancy at all
levels – for maximum security.
Thanks to the unique concept, two completely identical systems operate continuously in hot stand-by operation. If a fault occurs in the active part, the system automatically switches to the second half without interruption. This means that all functions such as detection, alarm notification, plain text displays as well as activating the fire incident control system are retained without restrictions.
Operation – redundant connections to operating panels.
Clear information about the situation at all times, about every event, as well as unrestricted operability of the entire fire alarm and extinguishing system is essential. For this reason, connections and interfaces to external indication and operating panels are duplicated. This form of redundancy ensures full operability of the system and indication of all events with clear location and time information, even if one line fails. In this way, operating panels in the fire alarm control panels are saved and operation takes place where it is needed.
Network – all system connections redundant.
Line interruptions – due to construction work on the premises, expansion or modernisations – cannot be ruled out. For this reason, all internal system connections as well as the entire network are designed redundantly in Integral EvoxX M systems. In the event of connection faults, the mesh network automatically finds an alternative path without interruption. The system remains fully active and there is ample time to properly plan repairs and rectify any possible faults.
Control panel – all elements redundant.
All modules, power supplies, bus systems and software routines of the Integral EvoxX M fire alarm control panel are redundant. If the active side fails, the second side running in hot stand-by operation takes over automatically and without interruption. In this way, any fault is compensated for, the fire alarm system remains fully operational and fires are detected quickly and reliably even in the event of a fault. All data and messages are reliably transported and processed and all fire incident control systems such as ventilation flaps, fire zone doors or extinguishing functions are activated.
Loop – redundant loop.
All peripherals are connected in a loop. Thanks to the short circuit isolator integrated in each device, the loop can be wired and configured across fire zones and functions. In the event of a short circuit or wire break, the integrated short circuit isolator disconnects the damaged part of the line and all devices on the Integral X-LINE remain fully functional via a stub line. The damaged wiring section itself can be easily located – saving valuable time during commissioning and service!
