5 Function
5.1 Overview
The FDCW221 communicates with the control panel via the FDnet detector line.
The coverage range of the radio signal is up to 40 m in buildings and strongly
depends on materials and equipment.
When radio cells overlap, the maximum number of radio gateways is limited to 16
radio gateways or radio cells, respectively, due to the limited number of channels.
Without an overlapping of radio cells, the maximum address connection factor of
the FDnet detecto line limits the number of connectable devices (radio gateways,
detectors).
At maximum 30 radio detectors can be connected to one radio gateway. Each
radio detector has its own address. The radio gateway always occupies two
addresses.

5.2 Diagnosis levels
The radio gateway largely auto-monitors its functionality.
The following diagnosis levels are derived from the different control measurings:
zNormal
zExchange recommended
zExchange required
zFault
Details see table below.
When a fatal error occurs, which makes the proper function of the radio gateway
impossible, a fault message is signalled on the control panel.
To remedy the cause, additional information is available in the radio gateway. This
information may be indicated by the detector exchanger and tester FDUD29x (from
SW V2.1).
Please also refer to the operation instructions of the detector exchanger and tester,
doc. nos. 007227 and 009718.
Indication on the detector
exchanger and tester
Meaning Actions
'No Deviation' Normal, no fault is present

none
'advice excha.' * Exchange recommended
The radio gateway is still functional, in spite
of minor problems
zFDCW221
– Battery voltage too low
Exchange battery
'needed excha.' * Exchange required
The radio gateway is only fed with power via
the detector line
zFDCW221
– Battery totally discharged or missing
Exchange or insert battery
Fault is present
Alarming is no longer ensured:
zFDCW221
– Radio cell not configured
– Radio module failure
– Configure radio cell
– Exchange radio gateway
Supply error – Check detector line voltage
– Exchange radio gateway
Software error (Watchdog error) Exchange radio gateway
Storage error Exchange radio gateway
Any fault message
Communication error between the radio
gateway and the control panel
Remedy cause
Note
The status 'Any fault message' can be displayed together with another status, e.g.
'needed excha.' (exchange required).
* Indication on the detector exchanger and tester always in English; no translation
into the country-specific language.

5.3 Degraded mode in FDnet
When the main processor of the fire control panel fails, the control panel is in
degraded mode. Depending on the control panel type, the fire control panel can
continue to perform the most important alarming and signalling functions in
degraded mode.
Behaviour in degraded mode on control panels supporting degraded operation
Alarming is still ensured in degraded mode. However, in degraded mode only
collective alarming is possible. This means that in case of alarm, it is possible to
identify the detector line in account but not the exact location of the detector
triggering alarm.
The degraded operation on the FDnet is not equally supported by all control
panels. During project planning, the information in the document 'List of
compatibility' (doc. no. 008331) and the control panel documentation in account is
mandatory.

Function

Building Technologies 009865_b_en_--.doc
Fire Safety & Security Systems 11.2007
5.4 Operation modes
The radio gateway has the following operation modes:
zNormal operation
zStartup mode
zConfiguration mode
5.4.1 Normal operation
The radio gateway is in the intended operating mode. All radio detectors in the
radio cell are monitored.
5.4.2 Startup mode
As soon as power is supplied to the radio gateway, it goes into startup mode. In
startup mode the radio gateway checks whether any radio detectors are registered.
If the radio detectors of the radio cell are registered, the radio gateway changes
from startup into normal operation.
Otherwise, the radio gateway changes directly from startup mode to configuration
mode.
see also:
Î8.2 Putting the radio gateway into operation, Page 33
5.4.3 Configuration mode
In configuration mode the radio connection is established with all radio detectors.
The system searches for free radio channels and registers the radio detectors on
the radio gateway.
When a radio detector is removed or added, the radio gateway is equally set in
configuration mode.
The radio gateway is set in configuration mode by pressing the button on the radio
gateway as follows:
zlong: to remove a radio detector
zshort: to add a radio detector
After at maximum 15 minutes without any manipulation, the radio gateway changes
from configuration mode to normal operation.

5.5 Protocols
5.5.1 FDnet
Communication
The communication with the control panel is performed via the FDnet detector line.
The configuration is performed from the control panel.
Line separator FDCL221
A line separator is integrated into the radio gateway. In case of a short circuit, it
isolates the defective part on the FDnet detector line. This way it is ensured that
the faultless line part can continue to communicate with the control unit.
Regarding the topology, the radio detectors registered on the radio gateway are in
a stub. The stub branches off the FDnet detector line between the FDCW221 and
the integrated line separator FDCL221 of the radio gateway (see figure below).

5.5.2 MC-Link
The MC-Link connection in the radio gateway primarily serves for the connection of
the detector exchanger and tester FDUD29x (from SW V2.1). The detector
exchanger and tester makes it possible to extract information from the radio
gateway for the purpose of commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting.
In addition, the MC-Link is used to update the firmware of the radio gateway. The
firmware is loaded from the PC to the radio gateway by means of the MCL-USB
adapter FDUZ221.
