Number of a node

1 (one)

Number of a loop

Address and sub-address. Inform the value 256 × sub-address + address

Block Tag with 5 (five) Elements that requests analog values from the specified address in a panel. The Elements returned by this Tag are 1: Type of device, 2: Analog value, 3: Zero point, 4: Fire point, and 5: Zone

Get Analog Details

Number of a node

2 (two)

Number of a loop

Not used

Block Tag with 7 (seven) Elements that requests reading analog sensors from a panel for a loop. These values are returned as a list with up to 20 devices, starting at index 0 (zero). The Elements returned by this Tag are 1: Type of device, 2: Address, 3: Sub-address, 4: Analog value, 5: Zero point, 6: Fire point, and 7: Zone. NOTE: Use the OnRead event of this Tag to receive the values as a list

Get Current Time

Not used

3 (three)

Not used

Not used

PLC Tag that reads the current date and time from a panel

Leds State

Number of a node

4 (four)

Not used

Not used

Block Tag with 12 Elements that requests the current status of all LEDs from a panel. This status is represented by the values 0: LED is turned off, 1: LED is turned on, or 2: LED is blinking. The Elements returned by this Tag are 1: Fire, 2: General failure, 3: System failure, 4: General disablement, 5: Fire protection activated, 6: Fire protection failure, 7: Fire routing turned on, 8: Fire routing failure or disabled, 9: Test mode turned on, 10: Active delays, 11: Speaker failure or disabled, and 12: Power turned on

Device Isolate Status

Number of a node

5 (five)

Number of a loop

Address and sub-address. Inform the value 256 × sub-address + address

PLC Tag that requests the current isolation status of a device. This status is represented by the values 0: Device enabled or 1: Device disabled

 

NOTES

When using a single Ethernet communication channel, Query Tags cannot be updated while a panel is busy in the process of collecting active events or log events.

When using 2 (two) Ethernet communication channels, leave one connection only for the process of collecting events and another connection for Query Tags, thus allowing a simultaneous update with the processing of events.
