1 Introduction – products concept
One of Siemens Infrastructure and Cities Sector, Building Technologies Divisions’ (IC
BT) primary goals is to be able to provide complete integration solutions to our cus-
tomers. Complete integration includes fire safety, security, and building automation
systems built by various Siemens and third-party suppliers.
As the needs and expectations of the market continue to advance at the pace of tech-
nology, IC BT aims to provide products that meet those needs and expectations.
Siemens’ family of products are designed to serve the market for small to medium-size
local systems, campus-size configurations (LAN applications), and for geographical
networks (WAN applications). Additionally, in cases where another supplier is making
the integration, Siemens provides open system solutions enabling integration of our
subsystems.
See the following to determine which product or combination of products best suit your
customer’s needs.
1.1 Danger management systems
Siemens offers the following Danger Management System (DMS) solutions:
·MM8000 Management Station:
The MM8000 provides integrated management and handling, decentralised system
operation and centralised maintenance. The MM8000 is designed to replace older
management stations such as LMSmodular, LMS6, and DMS7000.
MM8000 also offers the following advantages:
-Flexibility – The system can be built and configured to fit different situations.
-Scalability – MM8000 will easily grow to support more subsystems, disciplines,
and stations as needed.
-Reliability – The MM8000 is based on the concept of autonomous subsystems
and distributed control. Furthermore, redundant configurations can be imple-
mented.
-Security – The operator will have access to exactly what is defined.
-3rd Party integration – The MM8000 architecture allows for open system solu-
tions and for the integration of 3rd party devices.
·MK8000 OPC Server for Subsystems:
The MK8000 OPC Server product concept provides open system solutions to our
customers, enabling our subsystems to be integrated into 3rd party management
systems.
The objective is to offer the OPC Data Access (DA) or Unified Architecture (UA)
Server product in parallel with complete offerings including our MM8000 manage-
ment station software.
The OPC DA/UA Server product allows us to technically integrate FS subsystems
into building automation unit head-ends, thereby supporting the IC BT Total Build-
ing Solutions offering.

CPS Fire Safety 09.2016
1.2 Connectivity – NK8000 networks
NK8000 connects various subsystems via TCP/IP or BACnet/IP over Ethernet or serial
connectivity with the MM8000 and the MK8000 systems.
The following make up the NK8000 product family:
·NK823x (second generation of NK8000 Ethernet Ports):
-NK8232 Ethernet Port for a single subsystem for DMS8000 systems
-NK8235 Ethernet Port for DMS8000 systems
-NK8237 Modbus Gateway for Sinteso and Cerberus PRO fire detection sys-
tems
1.2.1 Which NK8000 Ethernet Port to choose?
The NK82xx Ethernet Ports are used to connect local and distributed safety and secu-
rity devices to DMS8000 Management Stations. The Ethernet Port provides a first
level of centralisation, and acts as a secure communication partner for DMS8000. All
ports come with optional housing solutions with autonomous power supplies.
NK823x, including the products NK8232, NK8235, and NK8237, is the second genera-
tion of Ethernet Ports. NK823x is based on a new more powerful HW platform and can
replace the NK822x products. NK8232 is backward compatible with NK8222, and
NK8235 is backward compatible with NK8223 and NK8225.
The NK8232 allows connection of a single safety or security subsystem to DMS8000
Management Stations, and is best suited for distributed systems or geographical net-
works where only one subsystem needs to be connected to a remote management
system (such as a bank application: centralisation of security systems of branches).
The NK8235 allows connection of multiple IC BT and 3rd party subsystems to
DMS8000 Management Stations, and is best suited for local systems, campus-size or
wide area extension systems, where more than one subsystem has to be connected,
or system extensions with additional subsystems are expected.
The NK8232/NK8235 offers, in addition to the standard connectivity capabilities,
BACnet connectivity between NK823xs for network-wide interactions and to DMS8000
hosts.
The NK8237 is used as a gateway between Sinteso(or Cerberus PRO)/STT20 fire de-
tection systems and Modbus head-end/automation systems on LAN or over a serial
line. It provides for bi-directional Modbus RTU and TCP/IP connectivity to Sinteso or
Cerberus PRO and STT20 fire detection systems.
1.2.1.1 NK82xx standard connectivity capabilities and common features
·TCP/IP on Ethernet connectivity for connection to local and remote management
stations. Transport protocol CMSDL/IP, BACnet/IP, or CEI 79-5/IP featuring 64-bit
encryption (FEAL algorithm) for high security banking applications, and support of
switched lines.
·Simultaneous multiple host connectivity (up to four) using CMSDL/IP protocol
(without encryption).
·Upstream serial connectivity to a local management station (MM8000/MK8000) us-
ing an RS232 line via CMSDL serial protocol.
·The upstream devices (MM8000 or MK8000) must be equipped with the
NS8011/NS8210 Network Driver for TCP/IP on Ethernet connectivity or with the
NS8012 CDI-Net Driver for serial connectivity.

CPS Fire Safety 09.2016
2.1.2 Peer to peer
Characteristics:
-Each station is a stand-alone, and therefore contains all the software layers (cli-
ent, server, and communication)
-The stations can be connected to the communication level configurations, e.g.
NK82xx Ethernet ports, which allow multiple routing.
Fig. 2 Peer-to-peer configuration
2.1.3 Distributed client/server configurations
Characteristics:
-Distributed client and server communicate via TCP/IP connection
-Provides a straightforward solution for small and medium-sized systems
-Support of up to 15 client connections, including MM8000 installed clients,
MM8000 web clients, and mobile devices.
-Each station is specialised for a single function (i.e.MM8000/MK8000 client,
MM8000/MK8000 server or FEP (Front-end processor)
-Software architecture can be distributed on different PCs for load distribution
-Optional fault-tolerant redundancy solution with dual servers to prevent service
interruption
-Optional manual server switch solution for project redundancy or multiple pro-
jects
MM8000: The client provides the user interface. The server handles all the functional-
ity provided by MM8000, and holds the configuration database. The FEP (Front-end
processor) provides the drivers for the different network connections (such as Cerloop,
NK8000, etc.).
MK8000: The server provides OPC functionality while the FEP (Front-end processor)
provides connectivity to subsystems.
This architecture allows for scalability from small to big installations, and provides the
highest performance solutions for large systems that require both multiple FEPs and
several MM8000/MK8000 client stations.

CPS Fire Safety 09.2016
The following distributed configurations are available:
·Small/medium configuration:
In this configuration, a main station provides for the server functions, including local
and networked (NK82xx) communication. Then, one or more stations running the
client are connected to the server (See Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.). Each client machine
may contain any subset of the applications. It is possible to have stations running
only the basic modules – for example, those devoted to surveillance only – and
stations with a more complete set of tools, such as the Plant and History browsers
used by engineers or supervisors. In addition, web stations and mobile devices are
also supported for local or remote access to the event list. A mimic display client
(MM8000 Client Station with Plant Browser in full screen mode) can be used to
provide a full screen graphic of system status.

·Multiple server configuration:
For high reliability, the server is replicated, and a manual server switch functionality
is available on the client station(s) in the event that a backup solution is desired.
If the server fails, the client can switch to another server configured for the same
project thus ensuring minimum connectivity interruption.
Up to four servers can be configured.

Note: Clients can connect to only one server at a time.
·Virtual server configuration:
MM8000 offers support for virtual machine solutions. One or more MM8000 virtual
clients/servers can run in the following virtualization environments:
-VMware workstation
-VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi)
-Windows Hyper-V

·Multiple projects on separate servers configuration:
MM8000 supports multiple projects residing on separate servers. These servers
are available to client stations via a manual server switch functionality.
This provides the ability to switch one or more clients from, for example, an intru-
sion to a fire network.
Up to four servers are configurable.

2.2 Support of mobile devices
Mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) are supported in MM8000 by the DMS8000
Web Services and the MM8000 Alarms app.
The DMS8000 Web Services interface (REST Web API) enables any client supporting
this Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Program Interface (API) to
handle MM8000 events.
The MM8000 Alarms app is based on this interface and lets an operator view and
handle events with Acknowledge and Reset commands. Once a MM8000 Alarms app
user is authenticated, the server sends to the MM8000 Alarms app only the informa-
tion and commands that the user is authorized to see and execute based on his/her
security profile.
2.2.1 National standards, regulations and legislation
Siemens products are developed and produced in compliance with the relevant Euro-
pean and international safety standards. Should additional national or local safety
standards or legislation concerning the planning, assembly, installation, operation or
disposal of the product apply at the place of operation, then these must also be taken
into account together with the safety regulations in the product documentation.
WARNING
It is in the responsibility of the Regional Countries (RC’s) to carefully check
whether the use of the MM8000 Alarms app (or externally developed app’s) for
handling events from MM8000 is allowed by national or local safety standards or
codes of practice.
If local law or codes of practice do not allow controlling events from mobile devices,
the DMS8000 Web Services can be set to view only mode.
®For details about how to set the DMS8000 Web Services in view only mode, see
the MM8000 ICC (A6V10062413). To learn how to obtain this document, see the
Documentation resource information section on p. 5.

2.2.2 Mobile devices connected via WLAN wireless network
WLAN connections are mainly used in in-house applications because they are limited
in range.
In this type of application the MM8000 Server needs to be connected to a WLAN
router. Activating the WLAN encryption on the router protects the WLAN wireless net-
work against unauthorized use. We recommend using the WPA encryption, which
provides the highest level of security. The level of security can be further increased by
limiting the access to the router to known devices only.
On the mobile devices, the WLAN must be enabled and the mobile device needs to be
connected to the WLAN wireless network.
