A great solution/s to interconnect devices on Simplex 4100network.

Simplex 4100

The Simplex 4100 (computer port protocol) is used to transfer data (alarms and events) from the Simplex Fire alarm panels (4020/4100U/4100ES/4010ES/NDU).

ProtoConvert can supply and support gateways that are capable of interfacing with the Simplex fire alarm panels using the Simplex 4100 Computer port protocol and capturing the alarms and events sent by the panel. The data received can be further published on another interface of the gateway using a different protocol like BACnet, Modbus, SNMP , LonWorks , HTTP/S or any other open protocol. Hence the gateway would provide the means to transmit the alarms and events from a Simplex Fire alarm panel (stand alone or networked) to a monitoring system like a SCADA or a Building Management System that cannot directly interface with the Simplex panel.

The Simplex 4100 protocol driver is a client only driver. Hence it is not possible to emulate a Simplex fire alarm panel.

and Simplex 4100 datasheets are available for your review on this link for detailed information on the capabilities of these drivers.

The table below lists the various hardware options available with this protocol driver combination, please make a selection based on the point capacity, number of ports, and type of communication interfaces you require.
