Abstract
Operating a fire control system is described herein. One method includes receiving, at a gateway device, first operational data of a first format from a control panel, determining a model associated with the control panel based on the first operational data, wherein the model includes correlations between the first operational data and alarm information of a second format, receiving second operational data of the first format from the control panel, and determining alarm information of the second format associated with the second operational data based on the model.
Claims20
A method of operating a fire control system, comprising:
- receiving first operational data from a control panel, wherein the first operational data is in a first format;
- determining a model associated with the control panel based on the first operational data;
- receiving second operational data from the control panel, wherein the second operational data is in the first format;
- and
- determining alarm information associated with the second operational data based on the model, wherein the alarm information is in a second format and includes descriptions of events and/or alarms associated with the fire control system.
A gateway device for a fire control system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- receive operational data from a control panel, wherein the operational data is in a first format;
- retrieve a particular model from among a plurality of models in the memory, wherein the particular model corresponds to a brand of the control panel;
- and
- determine alarm information in a second format associated with the operational data based on the particular model.
A fire control system, comprising:
- a control panel;
- a gateway device;
- and
- a server,
- wherein the gateway device is configured to:
- receive operational data in a first format from the control panel;
- retrieve a particular model from among a plurality of models stored in the server, wherein the particular model corresponds to a brand of the control panel;
- determine alarm information in a second format associated with the operational data based on the particular model;
- and
- communicate the alarm information in the second format to the server;
- and
- wherein the server is configured to determine a cause of an alarm based on the alarm information in the second format.
