1 Introduction
This description concerns new, extended protocol for exchange of data between POLON 4000 Panel and fire
detection system via EIA RS-232 serial interface. The information is exchanged in character blocks. Each
block has block check character (BCC) protection.

4 Protocol description
4.1 General
- All users have equal priority. Transmission cycle may be started by any user having the data.
- The data are transmitted in character blocks (signals) using LATIN II standard ASCII characters with
0x20 ... 0xFF, CR(0x0D) being the character to create a new line and 0x00 being end of text character.
Communication controls are not data bites.
- All numberical data and block check character are transmitted as ASCII-encoded hexadecimals ('0'-'9' and
'A'-'F' characters). The older half of the byte is transmitted first (for example numerical value 0x37 is
transmitted as two characters '3' and '7' - ASCII characters of 0x33 and 0x37 respectively).
- Each block of characters (signal) contains information on a single event (e.g., triggered detector, detector
fault, technical alarm on the control device input, etc.). The blocks are used also for transmission of
commands, including: status-inquiry signal, start and stop of status signal transmission.
4.2 Block structure

Each block is transmitted in the following form:
STX DATA ETX BCC
IK-E326-001 4
Example No. 1 command block Panel status inquiry is sent by external equipment:
STX, 'S' , '?', ETX, BCC
which upon conversion to ASCII code obtains the following form:
0x02,0x53,0x3F,0x03,0x36,0x46
Example No. 2
Panel reports alarm on call point No. 15 on Loop No. 1:

Auxiliary text 0 (none) 0x00 0x30,0x30 No user's text
The block check character (including ETX) is 0x73 (0x37,0x33).

The block reporting triggered initiating device has the following form:
0x02,0x30,0x30,0x31,0x30,0x30,0x33,0x32,0x35,0x31,0x36,0x32,0x33,0x34,0x35,0x30,0x33,0x45,0x39,

4.3 Block check character

The block check character (BCC) is calculated as logical XOR operation on all the data bytes (converted to
characters) w/o STX and with ETX. Before transmission the check character is encoded to ASCII. Example:
0x1A 0x31, 0x41
4.4 Communication process

- ENQ is used to start communication,
- A data block can be send no sooner than ENQ has been acknowledged by SYN,
- Each signal must be acknowledged by the receiver,
- Blocks not acknowledged or with negative acknowledgement are retransmitted,
- If despite several attempts positive acknowledgement is not received, transmission error is signalled,
- Each ENQ must be acknowledged by the receiver,
- The maximum block length is 255 characters.

5 Signal structure
The Panel sends to external entity signals on the status of input devices, inputs and events.
The external entity may after start up or link failure request the Panel to sent status information.

5 BCCH BCCH BCCH
6 BCCL BCCL BCCL
5.1.2 Communication process
- upon switching on or communication error the external entity sends the "status request" signal to the
Panel,
- the Panels any queued signals and sends the "start transmission" signal.
- all active status signals are sent from all devices which are not in detection mode,
- the transmission ends with end of status transmission signal,
- the external entity sets all the devices whose status was not received to inactive status
5.1.3 Timing
Condition 1. Maximum time between status request command and start of status transmission
- 10sec.,
Condition 2. Maximum time between two subsequent blocks during status transmission - 5 sec.
5.1.4 Errors
- When a second status request is received during transmission the status transmission must start from
the beginning,
- Failure to meet condition 1 results in a subsequent status request and additionally error signal is
generated by the external entity,
- Failure to meet condition 2 is treated as end of status transmission and additionally error signal is
generated by the external entity,
IK-E326-001 7
5.2 Responses and commands (Panel External entity)
The records prepared for transmission comprise the fields described in Table 5.2.

Hour 1 2 0 - 24 (BCD code)
Minute 1 2 0 - 59 (BCD code)
Second 1 2 0 - 59 (BCD code)
Loop No. 2 4 0 - 0xFFFF
Device ID 1 2 0 - 0xFF
Local I/O ID* 1 2 0 - 0xFF

Zone No.** 2 4 0 - 0xFFFF
Auxiliary text Chars (max. 200 chars) 0x20-0xFF,
CR(0x0D) end of line
0x00 end of record
Notes:
*Local I/O ID is used for multiple input and/or multiple output loop devices (such as EKS 4001 which has two
inputs and one output). If the local input number assumes the value of 0 then the signal concerns a loop
device and no specific I/O.
**Zone number is an auxiliary information field (optional) In the case of input devices it defines to which zone a
given device is assigned (in POLON 4800 it can be any number in the range 1-512). In the case of devices
such as EKS-4001 this field defines logical assignment of the device (any number from 1-250 range).
Otherwise the value of 0 is input in this field.
5.2.1 Loop assignment

Use of specific loop numbers is not controlled, yet some ranges have the meaning ascribed to them in Table
5.3 below.
Table 5.3
Loop number Device number Meaning
(decimal) (decimal)
0 0 General signals from Panel, such as Acknowledge, Cancel
1 0-255 Panel signals (power failure, fault, etc.)
1000-1999 0-255 Initiating loop devices (detectors, call points, etc.)
3000-3999 0-255 All indicating loop devices with inputs and/or outputs (also
optional alarm inputs) EKS, EWS, EWK, etc.
20000-20999 0-255 Relay outputs
21000-21999 0-255 Voltage outputs
22000-22999 0-255 Control inputs
Notes:
The respective loop numbering ranges concern types of addressable devices or I/O lines to which they refer.
The loop number sent by PMC-4000 is related to the internal loop numbering of POLON 4800 by appropriate
translation vector.
IK-E326-001 8
For example EKS-4000 output device placed on loop No. 5 will be shifted on POLON 4800 by vector of 3000
and sent to GEMOS as device on loop No. 3005.
The numbers of devices and local I/O numbers in PMC-400 protocol correspond directly to the numbers used
by POLON 4800.
With the translation vector it is possible to identify the type of device describing the signal and also describe
the event in a way similar to the description in POLON 4800.
5.2.2 Status/ event functions
The status functions are described in Table 5.4 below.

6 Application of PMC-4000 protocol in POLON 4800

POLON 4800 supports 7 active states of loop devices and I/O loops. These are:
- Fire alarm,
- Monitoring alarm,
- Enabling,
- Test,
- Disable,
- Fault,
- Non-maskable interrupt.
Each active state has its counterpart - inactive state which is reported when active state has ended.
With some states mutually exclusive (such as blocking and enabling) in many cases two states can occur in
parallel, for example fire alarm and monitoring alarm or fault and non-maskable interrupt.
Non-maskable interrupt indicates lack of trigger acknowledgement from a fire protection device controlled
by Panel output signals (such as EKS device, relay).
Stage 2 response - Alarm is a global state of the panel. Signal indicates energising outputs to the fire alarm
transmission equipment.
Cancel:
- command to the control panel: command to cancel all devices in alarm state and Alarm (stage 2).
- command from the control panel: information that a fire alarm has been Cancelled all initiating devices in
alarm state obtain "no alarm" status. Alarm (stage 2) is Cancelled in addition.
Acknowledge
- command to the control panel: command to acknowledge events such as alarm, fault.
- command from the control panel: reporting of acknowledgement of events such as alarm, control panel
fault.
The respective states and value ranges for signals from devices supported by POLON-4800 are given in Table
6.1 below.

Note: The control panels sends to the monitoring system only signals which can be expected from the
respective loop devices. For example, EKS-4001 would not send alarm signal, etc. I/O=0 designates an event
concerning the whole multi-input/ multi-output device.
