US 2016/0096053 A1 · FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM COMPONENT INTEGRATION

Abstract

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a substantially automated fire suppression system, based on a distributed control communications network. The distributed system can comprise a communication network and at least two control components that are communicatively coupled with the communication network. A first control component can perform a first fire suppression operation, transmit first fire suppression operation data to the communication network, and receive second fire suppression operation data from the communication network. A second control component can perform a second fire suppression operation, transmit second fire suppression operation data to the communication network, receive first fire suppression operation data from the communication network, and alter the second fire suppression operation based at least upon the received first fire suppression operation data.

10 more elements

A distributed control network for a fire suppression system, comprising:

a local area data communication network configured to provide access to fire suppression operational data to respective control components coupled to the network;
a first fire suppression operation component, configured to perform a first fire suppression operation, the first fire suppression operation component comprising a first control component communicatively coupled with the network and configured to:
identify a state of the first fire suppression operation component;
provide data indicative of the state of the first fire suppression operation component to the network;
access data indicative of a state of one or more fire suppression operation components from the network;
and
modify the state of the first fire suppression operation based at least upon an indication from the data accessed from the network.
