Section Two: The NIB-96

The heart of the NIB Network is the Network Interface Board (NIB). It is a micropro-cessor-controlled module that connects “slave” fire alarm control panels (FACP) toa “master” control panel. The master control panel is an AM2020/AFP1010, AFP-400, or System 5000 with one or more AIM-200 modules. The slave panels can bea mix of AFP-200, AM2020/AFP1010, System 5000, or System 500 panels. TheNIB-96 module is physically located in each slave FACP. Each slave FACP maycontain as many as 96 input/output points or as few as 8 points. Several slave pan-els can be monitored and controlled by a single master. Note: Each NIB networkcan contain only one master FACP.

The NIB-96 has two serial interfaces. It communicates with the master panel overthe SLC interface loop, emulating up to 96 MMX and/or CMX modules. It commu-nicates with the slave panel over an EIA-485 annunciator interface, emulating oneor two ACS annunciators (up to 128 LED points, of which only 96 may be used).With the NIB at its maximum, 96 point configuration, each master SLC loop canonly support one slave FACP. With the NIB at its minimum, 8 point configuration,as many as 12 slave FACPs can be supported in one SLC loop. Note that the mas-ter panel can control additional slaves by creating additional SLC loops with the in-stallation of more LIBs or AIM-200s. The capacity of a 10-loop master panel is 960total slave points, less four CPU points for each slave.

The System 5000 is a module-based system with eight points reserved for eachmodule position (whether the position is used or not). If a module in a slave Sys-tem 5000 or System 500 employs only four points instead of eight, the remainingfour points are unusable.

For example, Figure 2-4 illustrates the use of three modules with eight initiatingdevice circuits, four notification appliance circuits, and four control relays.

Requires 32 addresses (switch size=4)

Networked systems may concentrate large systems by grouping many points to-gether in a “software zone” and only reporting alarm or trouble for the softwarezone. This technique allows very large system point capacity. However, a user atthe master FACP may not be able to determine the exact location of a given event.Exact location information is available at the remote FACP.

Since the NIB Network reports slave status as module points and not as detectors,analog information is not available at the master FACP. Analog information is avail-able only at the slave panels. Maintenance Alert and Auto Test error will still reportto the master as a trouble.

The NIB Networks have full control-by-event capability. An alarm at any point onany remote FACP may activate any point(s) on any other slave FACP(s). The mas-ter FACP program contains all instructions to accomplish this. Full Signal Silenceand System Reset capabilities from the master FACP keypad to all slave FACPsare also provided.

Section Four:System 5000 Slave Installation

Mechanical InstallationIn a System 5000 slave, the NIB mounts beneath the third and fourth modules, tothe right of the CPU. The NIB fastens to the base of the CHS-4 chassis using threehex standoffs (provided), which are screwed onto three PEM studs. The NIB is thenattached to the standoffs using the mounting screws provided. See Figure 4-1.

Electrical InstallationConnect the main power harness from the MPS power supply to P3 the NIB. Con-nect the short power harness (provided) from P2 on the NIB to the CPU-5000. SeeFigure 4-2 for wiring diagram and all terminal assignments.

Connect the EIA-485 annunciator signal from the two-terminal connector on thelower CPU board (TB-2) to the NIB EIA-485 IN terminals.

Connect the SLC loop from an AIM-200 module in the master System 5000 to theSLC input terminals. The NIB can support a very large slave System 5000 (88points in addition to the eight points on the CPU) and use almost all of the SLCmodule capacity (96 out of 99 maximum). Alternately, several smaller slave Sys-tem 5000s can be supported by a single multi-drop SLC. For example, six System5000 slaves, each with eight initiating zones, could be monitored and controlled byone SLC.

System 5000 Slave ProgrammingThe programming rules listed below must be followed:

1. SWITCH INHIBIT may not be used.

2. ANNUNCIATOR INSTALL must be set to one of the following positions:

• 1-64 points if the NIB size is set to 64 or less.

• 64-128 points if the NIB size is set to 80 or 96 points.

3. ANNUNCIATOR MODE must be set to “Output Control”

4. Remote annunciators used with the slave System 5000 must be set to Re-ceive-only.

I/O MappingFor I/O mapping of notification circuits and relays as a function of initiating circuits,the System 5000 must be programmed as follows:

1. If the network system is to be controlled by the master control panel, andhave alarms from one slave activate output circuits in a different slave, donot program any I/O map in the slave System 5000. Perform all control-by-event mapping in the Master control panel.

2. If the system does not require that the master control panel activate outputcircuits in the slave panels, then program all I/O mapping into the slaveSystem 5000 and do not program any mapping into the master controlpanel.

Programming of control-by-event mapping into both the master and the slave is notallowed because of the possibility of installer error and program mismatch.

Section Six: AM2020/AFP1010 Slave Installation

Mechanical InstallationIn an AM2020/AFP1010 slave, the NIB may be plugged into a slot on the ICA-4/4Lchassis. If the AM2020/AFP1010 is in an A-size cabinet (only one ICA-4/4L) theNIB mounts beneath the CPU or the SIB. If a second or third ICA-4/4L chassis isavailable, it is recommended that the NIB should be mounted in one of the twoupper slots to permit easy access to NIB wiring and switch settings. Note that theNIB mechanically eliminates one LIB position and, in some instances, could requirethe installation of an additional chassis. As an alternative, the AM2020/AFP1010may use a CHS-4 chassis to mount the NIB. See Figure 4-1 for mounting the NIBin a CHS-4 chassis.

Note also that the AM2020/AFP1010 does not require that LIB boards be installedin consecutive positions. For example, in a 5-loop system, the NIB could be in-stalled in LIB position 3 (upper left of second chassis), with LIBs in all other slots. Inthis case, the AM2020/AFP1010 would be programmed for loops 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6.

In some slave AM2020/AFP1010 applications, it may be necessary to install morethan one NIB. The NIB can be configured so that up to 4 may be installed, com-pletely filling an ICA-4/4L chassis.

Electrical InstallationIf the NIB is mounted to a CHS-4 . . .Connect the main power harness from the MPS power supply to P3 on the NIB. Con-nect the short power harness (provided) from P2 on the NIB to the ICA-4/4L. If addi-tional NIBs are installed, the power harness is “daisy-chained” through all NIBs.

If the NIB is mounted to an ICA-4/4L . . .All power connections are completed through the ICA-4/4L connection.

Connect the EIA-485 input to the NIB from the EIA-485 connector on the slave SIB-2048A or SIB-NET. If more than one NIB is installed, or if the slave AM2020/AFP1010 also has annunciators, the EIA-485 OUT terminals on the NIB are used todaisy-chain to these additional EIA–485 devices.

Connect the LIB SLC loop from the master AM2020/AFP1010 to the LIB SLC inputterminals. Typically, each NIB is connected to a single LIB in the master AM2020/AFP1010 and uses almost all of the module capacity (96 out of 99 maximum) of thatLIB SLC.


Document 15666 Rev. D 9/19/9622

though the AM2020/AFP1010 may have up to1,980 points, a NIB can only report 96 points. Upto 4 NIB’s may be installed in one slave AM2020/AFP1010, allowing a maximum monitor and con-trol capacity of 384 points. Each slave panel uses4 points for CPU functions. There are several soft-ware techniques available to condense the pointreports of the slave AM2020/AFP1010, so thatlarger systems may be accommodated (SeeSlave Programming).

Section Seven:Slave AM2020/AFP1010 Programming

For I/O mapping of notification circuits and relays as a function of initiating circuits,the AM2020/AFP1010 must be programmed as follows:

1. If the network system is to be controlled by the master control panel, andhave alarms from one slave activate output circuits in a different slave, donot program any I/O map in the slave. Perform all control-by-event map-ping in the master control panel.

2. If the system does not require that the master control panel activate outputcircuits in the slave panels, then program all I/O mapping into the slave anddo not program any mapping into the master control panel.


Communications with the NIB is through the EIA-485 interface. The NIB appears tothe slave as one or two standard annunciators. The AM2020/AFP1010 may sup-port up to 32 annunciator addresses and therefore the NIB may coexist with sev-eral other NIBs, ACS annunciators, etc. The slave program must assign annuncia-tor points to each point on the NIB. These NIB points appear to the slave as an-nunciator points. Commands from the NIB to activate slave relays appear to comefrom ACM-16AT switch activations.

The slave may condense several monitor points into one annunciator point to com-municate with the NIB. For example, several intelligent smoke detectors could beassigned to annunciator point A06P17. The NIB would report the ALARM/TROU-BLE/NORMAL status of this group of smoke detectors to the master AM2020/AFP1010 as a single monitor module with an address 17 higher than the start ad-dress minus one.

Alternately, the slave could condense monitor points by using one of the 240 avail-able software zones, and assigning a NIB annunciator point to that zone. Either ofthese techniques allows the master AM2020/AFP1010 to monitor large slave in-stallations using a relatively small number of points. When these condensationtechniques are used, definition of the exact detector or module in alarm or troubleis not available at the master, but is still available at the slave. Control relays on theslave should not be grouped. When programming the slave AM2020/AFP1010, oneNIB annunciator point must be allocated for each slave control point.

• Select and disable all NFPA selections in software.• NIB point 1 is reserved for ACKNOWLEDGE input to the slave and system

troubles report to the master.• NIB point 2 is used for signal silence in AFP-200, S500 and S5000 slaves.• NIB point 3 is reserved for SYSTEM RESET input to the slave.• NIB point 4 is used to activate signals in the AFP-200.• Program all slave points to the annunciator points of the NIB address.

Section Eight: Master AM2020/AFP1010 Programming

All points in the slave panels are programmed into the master AM2020/AFP1010 asmonitor or control modules. Software features are programmed for the slave pointsas if these points were MMX-1 or CMX-1 devices. The following are programmingguidelines which must be followed:

• Program the first point in every NIB (slave) into the master AM2020/AFP1010as a Monitor Point (MON). This point will annunciate any trouble in the slave andis used as a default slave alarm reporting point in event of a programming errorin the slave. Control-by-event for this point will be activated only if an alarm ispresent in the slave panel which falls outside of the NIB size and there is no otheractive point present within the range of the NIB. Program the Control-by-eventfor this point appropriately. Do not rely on the operation of this point for alarmreporting. Program the system properly.

• Point 2 is used for Signal Silence in AFP-200 and System 500 and 5000 slaves.Program this point as "CON" in the master AM2020/AFP1010. Design the Con-trol-by-event equation for this NIB point so that it is active (ON) whenever noti-fication appliances are activated in the slave. When programming this point inthe AM2020/AFP1010, enable the signal silence feature for Point 2 in the mas-ter. All notification appliances in the slave must be outside the range of the NIBin order to utilize this feature. If not outside the NIB range, do not program point2 in the master. Normal operation of this feature indicates an alarm in the slave,and that alarm is silenceable from the master. If the alarm is silenced from theslave, an "open circuit" condition will occur at the master for NIB point 2. Note:Every zone in the slave must be mapped back to the master or this featureshould not be used.

• Point 3 is used for system reset in the slave and must be programmed in themaster as a 'CON' with a null () Control-by-event equation.

• Point 4 activates all silenceable signals in the AFP-200 slave only. Program thispoint as "CON" in the master. This point should also be programmed assilenceable. Design the Control-by-event equation for this NIB point so that it isactive when you want to turn on silenceable signals. This control point may bemapped to an ACM-16AT annunciator point in the master which will serve as adrill or evacuation switch.

• Initiating and input devices (including groups of devices or zones) from the slavepanel should be given any appropriate monitor module type ID (see the AM2020/AFP1010 Manual for software type ID listings) in the master.

• Notification circuits (e.g. ICM-4 module points) in the slave panels should be giv-en any appropriate type ID for a supervised control module in the master.

• Relays (e.g. CRM-4 relays) in the slave should be given any appropriate type IDfor a supervised (not Form-C) control module in the master.

• Program all slave speaker circuits as 'SPKR' type ID in the master.

• Program all slave telephone circuits as 'TELE' type ID in the master.

• Signal Silence option must be selected in the slave for all slave control pointsthat are to be silenced from the master.


Document 15666 Rev. D 9/19/96 25

• Latching (non-tracking) should be used for initiating devices.

• If Control-by-event of the slave outputs is to be performed by the slave FACP,then do not map the slave control points into the NIB.

Section Nine: System 5000 Master ProgrammingThe System 5000 may only be a master controller in the network if it includes oneor more AIM-200 modules. Typically, the System 5000 master would be used tomonitor and control slave System 500 panels.

No change is made to the System 5000 or the AIM-200 module to support NIB mod-ules. The AIM-200 is programmed to perform all functions as if the slave points wereMMX–1 and CMX–1 modules. The AIM-200 auto-program function will performmost of the programming actions. The following are recommendations for programediting:

• The first point on each slave panel should be programmed as a generalalarm monitor point. This is used for system troubles from the slave or fordefault alarm reporting in case of a programming error in the slave.

• Points 2, 3 and 4 on a slave will auto-program as “C” modules. The ad-dresses may not be used for other MMX–1 or CMX–1 standard modules.

• Output points that are to be silenced from the master should be programmedas signal type “C (blank).”

• Output points that are not to be silenced from the master should be pro-grammed as Form-C type “CO.”

• Zone mapping (control-by-event) must be selected to perform the desiredsystem control functions. Note that a particular AIM-200 cannot performcontrol-by-event for zones outside that AIM-200 except for general alarmtype action.

• If the slave panels are to be programmed for control-by-event mapping, thenprogram the master AIM-200 to skip all “C” modules (no control-by-event).Trouble on these modules will only be reported as system trouble from theslaves.

• General alarm programming of control points is not possible on the AIM-200for points above address 60. If general alarm programming is necessary, theSystem 5000/AIM-200 should not use slave panels that have control pointsabove address 60.

• Zones on the AIM-200 must be programmed for SWITCH INHIBIT and NON-SILENCEABLE.

CAUTION: Do not select the extended programming features. The System 5000may not operate properly if the Auto Silence, Pre-Signal Delay or General AlarmDrill Switch features are selected.

Section Ten: AFP-200 Slaves

Mechanical InstallationIn an AFP-200 Slave application, the NIB-96 must be powered by its AM2020/AFP1010 master. Therefore, the NIB-96 should be mounted in the AM2020/AFP1010 master.

Plug the NIB-96 into a slot on the ICA-4/4L chassis. If the AM2020/AFP1010 is inan A-size cabinet (only one ICA-4/4L) the NIB mounts beneath the CPU or the SIB.If a second or third ICA-4/4L chassis is available, it is recommended that the NIBshould be mounted in one of the two upper slots to permit easy access to NIB wir-ing and switch settings. Note that the NIB mechanically eliminates one LIB posi-tion, and in some instances, could require the installation of an additional chassis.As an alternative, the AM2020/AFP1010 may use a CHS-4 chassis to mount theNIB. See Figure 4-1 for mounting the NIB in a CHS-4 chassis. The AM2020/AFP1010 does not require that LIB boards be installed in consecutive positions.

In some applications, it may be necessary to install more than one NIB. The NIBcan be configured so that up to 4 may be installed, completely filling an ICA-4/4Lchassis.

Referring to the terminal assignment table below, connect the EIA-485 input on theNIB to the EIA-485 connector on the slave AFP-200. If the slave AFP-200 also hasannunciators, the EIA-485 OUT terminals on the NIB are used to daisy-chain tothese additional EIA-485 devices.

Connect the LIB SLC loop from the master AM2020/AFP1010 to the NIB's SLC in-put terminals. Typically, each NIB is connected to a single LIB in the masterAM2020/AFP1010 and uses almost all of the module capacity (96 out of 99 maxi-mum) of that LIB SLC.

General Considerations for slave AFP-200 Panels

1. Program the AFP-200 for 'ANNUN=ACS(ADDR1)' if NIB SIZE is 8 or less. Pro-gram the AFP-200 for 'ANNUN=ACS(ADDR2)' if NIB SIZE is 9 or 0.

2. Set switch SW2 on AFP-200 for ACS mode.

3. The NIB-96 must be powered by the AM2020/AFP1010.

4. The system Common (-) terminal on the AFP-200 must be connected to thesystem Common (-) terminal on the AM2020/AFP1010 Power Supply unlessan RPT-485 series repeater is used (see note 8).

5. Each AFP-200 slave uses eight points for AFP-200 system functions. The re-maining 88 NIB points can be used, in multiples of eight, to display the status ofAFP zones 1 to 88.

6. The Master cannot activate AFP zones.

7. The Master can perform the following functions: Signal Silence via point #2,System Reset via point #3 and 'Drill' via point #4. (Drill requires NIB software73454 or higher).

8. The Ground Fault circuit in the AFP-200 must be disabled by cutting jumperJP9 unless an RPT-485 series repeater is used to isolate the AFP-200 fromthe AM2020/AFP1010. Refer to Document #15640 for more information.

Appendix B: Master AM2020/AFP1010 Considerations

NIB-96 Software Changes with Master AM2020/AFP1010The NIB will detect an invalid polling scheme if one or more of the following condi-tions exists:

NIB software P/N 73359 or lower

1. Communication at the two restricted NIB SLC loop addresses (someonehas programmed point 2 or 4, or both).

2. No communication for more than 60 seconds at one or more of the NIBSLC loop addresses (except those restricted above) defined by the NIBsize switch.

NIB software P/N 73454 or higher

The NIB will detect an error if there is no communication for more than 60seconds with one or more of the NIB points 1, 3, 4 or 5 through NIB SIZEfrom the master SLC loop.

If the conditions above are detected, the AM2020/AFP1010 will enter the troublemode and display 'TROUBL LIB XX NIB M/S PROGRAMMING ERROR' or theequivalent.

When excessive noise is detected on the LIB SLC loop connection to the LIB, theAM2020/AFP1010 will enter the trouble mode and display 'TROUBL LIB XX NIBCOMMUNICATION ERROR' or the equivalent.

Appendix C:Network Requirements for ULC listed Panels

NIB-96 network installations requiring Underwriter's Laboratories ofCanada listing must follow the guidelines set forth in this appendix.

In Canada, slave control panels must be able to function as stand-alone units dur-ing loss of communications with the master control panel. Therefore, each slavepanel must be programmed for complete local input/output operation.

If the master control panel is to also control output circuits in the slave panels, caremust be taken to ensure that programming in both the master and the slave(s) isidentical.
