Description

The Agni Veiga Series Intelligent Addressable BACnet / Modbus Communication Card is a dedicated communication interface designed to enable reliable data exchange between Agni fire alarm control panels and external building automation systems. The card translates the fire alarm panel's proprietary signals into standard Modbus protocol, supporting RTU over RS-485 or TCP/IP communication. This allows external building management and automation systems to monitor important fire alarm conditions in real time. The system can provide information relating to operational states such as Alarm, Fire, Fault, Normal, Disable, Test Mode, and Evacuation, along with other system conditions supported by the connected fire alarm panel. Designed for professional fire and safety installations, the communication card connects directly to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) through either twisted-pair RS-485 or Ethernet. It continuously extracts information from connected fire alarm devices and system components, including detectors, modules, zones, and outputs, and converts the information into readable Modbus registers for external monitoring, diagnostics, and automation systems. With low power consumption, robust industrial design, and an operating temperature range intended for demanding environments, the communication card provides a practical interface for centralized fire alarm monitoring and building automation integration. ________________________________________ Key Features: • Intelligent addressable BACnet / Modbus communication interface • Designed for Agni fire alarm control panels • Enables communication with external building automation systems • Converts proprietary fire alarm signals into standard Modbus data • Supports Modbus RTU over RS-485 • Supports Modbus TCP/IP • Real-time monitoring of fire alarm system conditions • Monitors alarm, fire, fault, normal, disable, test mode, and evacuation states • Extracts information from detectors, modules, zones, and outputs • Converts system information into readable Modbus registers • Direct connection to the Fire Alarm Control Panel • RS-485 twisted-pair or Ethernet connectivity • Low power consumption • Robust industrial design • Designed for demanding fire and safety installations ________________________________________ Technical Specifications: • Product Type: Intelligent Addressable BACnet / Modbus Communication Card • Application: Fire Alarm Control Panel & Building Automation Integration • Interface: BACnet / Modbus Communication • Modbus Communication: RTU over RS-485 / TCP/IP • FACP Connection: RS-485 Twisted Pair / Ethernet • Monitored System Components: Detectors, Modules, Zones & Outputs • Data Output: Modbus Registers • Monitored Conditions: Alarm, Fire, Fault, Normal, Disable, Test Mode, Evacuation & Other Operational States • Power Consumption: Low Power • Design: Industrial / Robust • Application Environment: Professional Fire & Safety Installations ________________________________________ How It Works: 1.
