IFC Networking—Serial Interface Board (SIB-NET) 3
Introduction
An Intelligent Fire Controller (IFC) panel requires an intelligent Serial
Interface Board (SIB-NET) to connect it to the MetasysIntelligent Fire
Network (Fire Network or FN). The SIB-NET is the interface board that is
installed in the IFC-1010/2020 panel that, along with a Media Interface
Board (MIB), allows the IFC panel to transmit alarms and trouble events
through the FN to other network nodes (IFC panels) for display and
recording. The IFC panels also communicate over the FN to an associated
Fire-Net NCM (Network Control Module). The Fire-Net NCM in turn
provides an interface to the Metasys N1 LAN (Local Area Network) for
preprogrammed actions based on the event Changes-of-State (COS) in the
IFC panels on the FN.
The FN also allows the Fire OWS (Operator Workstation) and Intelligent
Network Annunciator (INA) to perform reset and acknowledge, and
allows the INA to perform system control functions on the IFC-1010/2020
panels that are part of the Fire Network. The SIB-NET supports all
features of the SIB-2048, including Annunciator Control System (ACS)
annunciators, printers, and CRT terminals, but requires special
IFC firmware (listed in the Software Requirements section in this
document) for FN operation.
Note: The SIB-NET does not provide a connection to Metasys via the
N2 Bus. You cannot install a SIB-2048 or a SIB-N2 in the panels
containing a SIB-NET card.
For information regarding programming the IFC-1010/2020 for use with
the SIB-NET, refer to the Programming section in this technical bulletin.

You must have either IFC-2020-NET-0 or IFC-1010-NET-0 firmware
installed in the system for the FN connection. The IFC-2020-NET
firmware kit contains:
x1 SIB-NET firmware chip
x10 LIB firmware chips
x1 CPU-2020 firmware chip
x1 DIA-2020 firmware chip
The IFC-1010-NET firmware kit contains:
x1 SIB-NET firmware chip
x2 LIB-200 firmware chips
x1 CPU-2 firmware chip
x1 DIA-1010 firmware chip
All IFC panels on the FN must contain the same group of FN software.
Improper system operation will result if all of the firmware chips on the
IFC panel circuit boards are not part of the same firmware group.
!
WARNING: Some software part numbers are incompatible with
others. Improper mixing of software part numbers
can compromise Life Safety functions. If you are
unsure about the compatibility of a particular
software combination, consult the Firmware Group
Chart file on the Johnson Controls intranet site
called The Advisorthe replacement for the
Johnson Controls BBS. To access this file, select
the Library section, then the Fire and Security
page, then the Firmware Group Chart file.

Before mounting the SIB-NET in the IFC panel, install the Metasys Fire
Network firmware chip on the SIB-NET. Observing proper orientation and
ensuring that none of the pins are bent, insert the EPROM into the socket
for U15 on the SIB-NET.

IFC Networking—Serial Interface Board (SIB-NET) 7
Mounting and Connections
The IFC-1010/2020 system can use one to three Interconnect Chassis
Assemblies (ICA-4/ICA-4L), depending on the specific installation
requirements (the IFC-1010 can use only one). The ICA-4L is a
low-profile mounting chassis that replaces the ICA-4 in all BE-1010 and
BE-2020 basic equipment kits. The ICA-4L is fully compatible with both
CAB-2 and CAB-3 Series cabinets and the ICA-4 chassis.
In order to accommodate the SIB-NET, the chassis used in Tier 1 (top row
of the IFC panel) of the CAB Series cabinet must be an ICA-4L chassis. In
the remaining tiers of the CAB cabinet, either the ICA-4 or ICA-4L can be
used. The following procedure details how to mount the ICA-4L chassis.
Follow the procedures below if using more than one ICA-4L:
1. Interconnect each ICA-4L before installation to the backbox by
mating the plug connector on one chassis to the socket connector on
the other (no cable required).
2. Align the entire ICA-4L assemblies over the studs in the backbox.
3. Connect a chassis grounding cable (71073) for each board installed on
the ICA-4L to the ICA-4L enclosure. (Two cables are required when a
SIB-NET is connecting to a MIB-W or MIB-WF.)
4. Secure the assemblies and cables with the provided nuts and washers.
Each ICA-4L is marked TOP for proper orientation.
Note: The ICA-4L with the SIB-NET interface card must be in the
top tier in the CAB-2 or CAB-3 Series enclosure. For the
correct placement in the ICA-4L chassis of all of the circuit
boards, see Installing the IFC-1010/2020 Technical Bulletin
(LIT-448155).
IMPORTANT: When connecting an ICA-4 to an ICA-4L, there is an
extra pin on the ICA-4L, which must go in front of the
connector.

ICA-4L

8 IFC Networking—Serial Interface Board (SIB-NET)
The ICA-4L chassis includes a 16th pin (Figure 2) for connection to the
system boards (CPU, SIB, LIB, and so on), which is not used at this time
for any circuit boards except the SIB-NET.
Note: Since the SIB-NET circuit board has a 16-pin electrical receptacle,
it will connect to all 16 pins of the ICA-4L chassis. No pins are
exposed when using a SIB-NET (Figure 2). All of the other circuit
boards that mount into the chassis will have an exposed pin.
When connecting system boards, make sure that the socket header on the
board engages only Pins 1-15 on the ICA-4L as indicated.

The ICA-4L chassis includes an extra pin (16th) when connected to an
older power cable (Part Number 71030). When the power cable is
connected to the pin connector on the top of the ICA-4L chassis (in the
first tier), the extra pin is in front, facing the door of the cabinet (Figure 2).
The extra pin is not engaged in the power cable’s plug and is therefore
exposed. The power cable Part Number 75378 has 16 positions, which will
connect properly with the ICA-4L. If the newer cable 75378 is used with
the older ICA-4 chassis, there will be an extra 16th socket position on the
cable. This empty cable socket should be located to the front of the ICA-4
pin header.

75378 New Power Cable 16 ICA-4 (cable has extra socket)
or IAC-4L
Note: Expansion power cable (Part Number 75142) remains at 15 positions.
There is an extra receptacle on the ICA-4L chassis bottom connector when
connecting an ICA-4 to the bottom of an ICA-4L. This receptacle should
also be in the front. Connecting two ICA-4Ls does not produce extra pins
or receptacles. For connection of two ICA-4L chassis, which are
physically mounted in non-adjacent tiers of the CAB enclosure, use an
expansion power cable (75142) and see Figure 3.
When connecting two ICA-4L chassis using an expansion power cable
(75142), there will be an extra pin on one chassis and an extra receptacle
on the other. Both the extra pin and the receptacle should be in the front,
facing the cabinet door (Figure 3).

12 IFC Networking—Serial Interface Board (SIB-NET)
The SIB-NET only mounts on the ICA-4L chassis. The IFC-1010/2020
system connects to and interfaces to the FN through the Media Interface
Board (MIB) and the SIB-NET. The MIB mounts onto the SIB-NET. For
more information on the ICA-4L, refer to the Hardware Installation
section of the IFC-1010/2020 Technical Manual (FAN 448).
The following example, along with Figures 4 and 5, illustrate installation
of a SIB-NET in the front left-hand position of an ICA-4L chassis.
Installation of boards in remaining ICA-4L positions involves a similar
procedure.
1. Place the SIB in front of the ICA-4L in the installation position.
2. Tilt the SIB into the ICA-4L and align the square slots on the board
with the front set of four tabs on the ICA-4L as illustrated in Figure 4.

3. Push the SIB-NET back so that it rests on the four tabs behind the
board.
4. Slide the board in toward the center of the ICA-4L and carefully
engage the receptacle connector on the SIB-NET with the pin plug
connector on the ICA-4L. When correctly seated, a mechanical tab
will stop the SIB-NET from moving further towards the pin plug.
Seating the connector and pin plug requires applying some force.
Before applying force, carefully check alignment of all pins. When
installed, the SIB-NET sits in a channel consisting of four retaining
tabs in front of the printed circuit board and four retaining tabs in back
of the printed circuit board.
