ORDERING INFORMATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 46020-40 Multiple Alarm Processor (MAP) is part of a Dantel 460 Alarm and Control System. It is a 46020 MAP
equipped with 46640-01 firmware. This chapter describes the
features of the MAP and firmware, and how they work as part of
a complete system.
MAP PORTS
The firmware allows a MAP to operate in several different
applications of a 460 Alarm and Control System. The MAP
provides three different data interface points, and all of them
are affected by the firmware. Here is a brief description of each
of the ports:
Master Port
♦Reports alarm data to an alarm center and responds to con-
trol point commands.
The alarm center may be a personal computer or an alarm
system master. For example, it could be an E-System master
the MAP communicates with through a 46033 E-System
Adapter.
♦May also connect to another device as an intermediary point
in reporting data to an alarm center.
This device could be a 46062 General Purpose Processor or
another MAP (using DCP, TBOS or DCPF protocol).
♦Uses TABS protocol to communicate with network elements
and AT&T remotes that use TABS protocol for alarm report-
ing.
UPDATED

46020-40-0399<90-00039> PAGE 3
Printer Port
♦Connects to a standard ASCII (VT-100) terminal, with or
without a serial printer,
or ♦Connects to Dantel’s 46001 Status Monitor.
You can use the terminal or status monitor for local alarm
reporting. The terminal also can operate controls.
♦May also operate as a master port (when configured for
TABS, TBOS, DCP, or DCPF protocol).
♦Works with PC software to configure MAP memory.
Data Port
♦Can interrogate up to 4,096 remote alarm points (64 displays)
and
♦Can operate up to 4,096 control points (64 displays). These
may be discrete alarm points connected to 46009 or 46010
Multiple Alarm Transmitters (MATs) and control points
wired to 46028 or 46029 Control Point Modules (CPMs).
Can also communicate with alarm and control points through
TBOS serial equipment.
Uses TABS protocol to communicate with network elements
and AT&T remotes that use TABS for alarm reporting.
♦Can connect to another MAP (using TBOS, DCP, or DCPF
protocol) that communicates with the alarm and control
points.
♦Is called the MAP port when it is connected to a 46023-12
Smart MAC and communicates with DCP or DCPF devices.
TYPICAL SYSTEMS
The following diagrams show examples of how the 46020 MAP is
used in typical systems. Fig. 1 shows a basic system and Fig. 2
shows a system with an intermediate MAP.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NOTE:
In order to work, the MAP must
be configured. Configuration de-
fines how the MAP will function,
such as what alarms it will poll
and what control points it will
operate. The Printer Syntax in
this manual cannot be used for
configuring the system.
To configure, use T/Shell soft-
ware with the MAP 40 Editor
Module and an IBM-compatible
computer. Refer to the software
manual for complete instruc-
tions.
NOTE:
The 46020-40 MAP’s Data Port is
usually factory-wired to one or
more 46023-12 Smart Multiple
Alarm Combiners (SMACs). The
SMAC serves to expand the
MAP’s single TTL Data Port out
to multiple RS-422 Data Ports. In
this situation, the MAP’s port
which communicates with the
SMAC is referred to as the “MAP
Port” - the “Data Port” having
been relocated to the outputs of
the SMAC. Refer to Figs. 2 & 3.

The MAP can handle 4,096 alarm points (64 displays) and 4,096
controls (64 displays) except when you use TBOS protocol.
When TBOS is used on the master and printer ports, the
amount of alarm data the MAP can address is limited. TBOS is
limited to eight displays of alarms and controls on the master
port and an additional eight displays of alarms and controls on
the printer port (a total of 16 displays).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Data Port
With TABS, DCP, or DCPF protocols on the master and/or
printer ports, the data port can communicate with up to 4,096
alarm points and 4,096 control points. See Fig. 1 for an illustra-
tion of these protocols.
If TBOS is used on the master port, the data port is limited to
512 alarm and 512 control points (eight displays).
If TBOS is used on both master and printer ports, the data port
can communicate with up to 1,024 alarm and 1,024 control
points. See Fig. 4 for an illustration of TBOS on master and
printer ports.

PROTOCOLS
There are four communications protocols available for the
master port, four for the printer port (plus a printer syntax
using ASCII format), and five for the data port. Refer to Fig. 1.
Master and Printer Ports
TABS - This protocol is used to communicate with network
elements and AT&T remotes that use this protocol for alarm
reporting.
DCP - This protocol is used when the MAP interfaces another
MAP, a personal computer, or an external alarm master (such as
an E-System master interfaced through an E-System Adapter).
DCPF - This is a modified DCP protocol with improved error
detection. It is used when the MAP interfaces another MAP, a
General Purpose Processor, or a Status Monitor.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CONTINUED . . .

46020-40-0399<90-00039> PAGE 7
TBOS - This protocol is used when the MAP interfaces a TBOS
serial port, such as on an E2A remote or on the data port of
another MAP (refer to Fig. 2).
Printer - This syntax establishes the coding for the printer port
to interface a standard ASCII (VT-100) terminal. The Printer
Syntax chapter contains the user commands for operating the
terminal.
Data Port
TABS - This protocol is used to communicate with network
elements and AT&T remotes that use this protocol for alarm
reporting.
TBOS - This allows the MAP to communicate with TBOS serial
equipment, such as another MAP as shown in Fig. 2.
DCM - This protocol communicates with discrete points only.
The MAP interrogates MATs (Multiple Alarm Transmitters) for
alarm data and operates control points on CPMs (Control Point
Modules).
DCP - This protocol communicates with another MAP using
DCP protocol (similar to the TBOS example shown in Fig. 2).
DCPF - This protocol communicates with another MAP using
DCPF protocol (similar to the example shown in Fig. 2).
INTERFACES
Master Port
The master port requires a subassembly to be mounted on the
MAP in order to provide the proper interface to other equip-
ment. When TBOS or TABS is used on the master port, the
most common is a 49008 subassembly providing an RS-422
interface. Other subassemblies are available for special applica-
tions.
The most common protocols are DCP or DCPF. The subassembly
is usually a 49009 or 49029 that provides an RS-232 interface.
Printer Port
The printer port has a built-in RS-232 interface. If you require a
different interface on the printer port, you can add a Dantel
46035 Converter Module with the appropriate subassembly
between the MAP and the other equipment.
Data Port
The data port of the MAP communicates through transistor-
transistor logic (TTL). This means communications cannot
extend beyond the shelf where the MAP is installed. To commu-
nicate beyond the shelf, you must connect the data port to a
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NOTE:
If you use a Smart MAC with the
MAP, only the DCM, TABS, and
TBOS protocols are available on
the data port.

PAGE 8 46020-40-0399 <90-00039>
46035 Converter Module, 46022 Multiple Alarm Combiner
(MAC), or 46023 Smart MAC for conversion to the appropriate
data communications interface.
A 46022-12 MAC or a 46023-12 Smart MAC has eight communi-
cations channels or ports. A 46022-20 MAC has one channel.
The data port supports multiple MACs.
In communicating with alarm and control points, the data port
can use DCM, DCP, DCPF, TABS, or TBOS protocols on any of
the MAC channels. However, only one protocol can be used on
any one channel. The protocol(s) used on the data port do not
have to be the same as those used on the printer and master
ports. For example, DCP could be used on the master port,
PRINTER syntax on the printer port, and DCM and TBOS on
the data port.

46020-40-0399<90-00039> PAGE 9
BATTERY BACKUP
The MAP has a battery backup to preserve the system configu-
ration information that has been placed in memory. You can set
switches on the MAP to retain the information in memory, even
if the power to the MAP is interrupted. If you do not set the
switches to retain the memory’s contents, configuration informa-
tion is erased when the power is restored. To learn how to set
these switches, refer to the Switch Settings chapter.
RESET
On the front panel of the MAP, there is a recessed reset button.
When you push this button, it executes a complete, or hard,
reset. The effect is the same as removing power from the MAP.
When power is restored later, the information in the MAP’s
memory is saved ... only if you have set the switches to retain it
(see Battery Backup paragraph). If you have not set the
switches to save the memory, it will be erased.
The MAP also has a protective (“watchdog”) circuit. If the
software encounters a problem and is unable to refresh the
protective circuit, a complete reset automatically occurs after
1.2 seconds.
DERIVED DISPLAY
The 46640-01 firmware supports a derived display, in which you
can set alarm points based on the condition of actual alarms.
The derived display determines when to set an alarm based on a
series of and/or conditions. For example, you can set an alarm
in the derived display if Alarm Point 1 and Alarm Point 2 or
Alarm Point 3 in Display 1 are showing failures.
EXTENDED DEVICE FAILURE
The extended device failure feature allows the firmware to set
an alarm bit to some location other than the standard ones. If
you have a special need, you can reassign the communications
failure bit to another alarm bit on the same display or even on a
different display.
DIP SWITCHES
There are seven banks of DIP switches on the MAP. Each bank
has eight levers, and the banks are numbered S1 through S7.
S1 through S6 are used to set the default settings, and S7 is not
used.
Refer to Fig. 6 for a DIP switch location diagram.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Fig. 7 shows the functional schematic of a 46020 MAP equipped with 46640-01 Firmware. The circuit consists of the
following:
♦A microprocessor with EPROM (Erasable Programmable
Read-Only Memory).
♦Three ports:
Master port
Printer port
Data port
♦Three parallel input/output interfaces (must be connected to
other modules in the same shelf as the MAP):
Interface for Dantel’s 46022-XX or 46023-12 Multiple Alarm
Combiners (MACs).
Interface for Dantel’s 46019 Summary Alarm Module (SAM).
An unassigned auxiliary input/output.
♦Regulated power supply.
Binary data goes to and from the microprocessor by way of the
system’s input/output. It is applied to each port through a series
of protectively buffered ACIAs (Asynchronous Communications
Interface Adapters).
