Fire Alarm System

Introduction

This wiki details the usage of the Fire Alarm System sample applications for Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a and Z-Stack 3.0. These samples were designed to show the user how to set up a fire alarm system network, as well as show the correct sequence of events for a Trip-To-Pair IAS Zone Enrollment procedure. Note: These sample applications are not intended to be certifiable out-of-the-box.

Getting Started

Start by downloading/installing either Z-Stack 3.0 or Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a, available from the following links:

Sample Devices

Three devices are implemented in this sample network. In addition to the clusters mandatory for every ZigBee Device, these sample devices implement the following clusters:

SampleCIE

The Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) implements the following clusters:

• Server Side:
  • IAS Ancillary Control Equipment (ACE)
• Client Side:
  • IAS Warning Device (WD)
  • IAS Zones

SampleFireDetector

The Fire Detector implements the following clusters:

• Server Side:
  • IAS Zones

SampleWarningDevice

The Warning Device implements the following clusters:

• Server Side:
  • IAS WD
  • IAS Zones

Note: Though the warning device implements the IAS Zones cluster, it does not perform zone enrollment in this example.

Sample Application operation

These sample apps are designed to be controlled by the hardware switches on the SmartRF05/SmartRF06. Here is a list of switch operations for each device:

SampleCIE

• SW1: Start BDB Commissioning [Z-Stack 3.0]/Start EZ-Mode Commissioning [Z-Stack 1.2.2a]
• SW2: [unassigned]
• SW3: Write CIE IEEE Address Attribute on last commissioned IAS Zone device
• SW4: Send Squawk to all Warning Devices in network
• SW5: Reset to factory new

SampleFireDetector

• SW1: Start BDB Commissioning [Z-Stack 3.0]/Start EZ-Mode Commissioning [Z-Stack 1.2.2a]
• SW2: [unassigned]
• SW3: Send IAS Zone Enrollment request to CIE
• SW4: Send change notification, i.e. start detecting a fire
• SW5: Reset to factory new

SampleWarningDevice

• SW1: Start BDB Commissioning [Z-Stack 3.0]/Start EZ-Mode Commissioning [Z-Stack 1.2.2a]
• SW2: [unassigned]
• SW3: [unassigned]
• SW4: [unassigned]
• SW5: Reset to factory new

Forming the network with Z-Stack 3.0

For this example, set the network up with a CIE Coordinator, a Fire Detector Router, and a Warning Device End Device.

1. SW1 on the CIE

• Runs BDB commissioning on the CIE ZC, which will reopen an existing network for joining (if applicable) or form and open a new network. Also initiates finding & binding, which will put this device in identifying mode for other devices that join the network, so binds can be created for matching clusters.

2. SW1 on the Fire Detector

• Runs BDB commissioning on the Fire Detector ZR, which will cause it to join the network just created by the CIE. Additionally, a bind will be created on this device for the IAS Zone cluster from the CIE.

3. SW3 on the CIE

• Sends a write attribute request to the Fire Detector (the last device that joined the network) to write the CIE IEEE Address attribute.

4. SW3 on the Fire Detector

• Sends a IAS Zone Enrollment request to the CIE.

5. SW1 on the Warning Device

• Runs BDB commissioning on the Warning Device ZED. A bind will be created on this device for the IAS WD cluster from the CIE.

The network setup is now complete. You can now send squawks from the CIE to the connected Warning Device with SW4 on the CIE, or you can cause a zone status change on the Fire Detector (i.e. start detecting a fire) by pressing SW4 on the Fire Detector, which will send a zone status change to the CIE and send an alarm to the Warning Device.

Forming the network with Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a

For this example, set the network up with a CIE Coordinator, a Fire Detector Router, and a Warning Device End Device. After powering on all devices, perform the following:

1. SW1 on the CIE

• Runs EZ-Mode commissioning on the CIE ZC, which will form a new network or reopen an existing network and put this device in identifying mode to look for binds with a device that joins the network.

2. SW1 on the Fire Detector

• Runs EZ-Mode commissioning on the Fire Detector ZR, which will cause it to join the network just created by the CIE. Additionally, a bind will be created on this device for the IAS Zone cluster from the CIE.

3. SW3 on the CIE

• Sends a write attribute request to the Fire Detector (the last device that joined the network) to write the CIE IEEE Address attribute.

4. SW3 on the Fire Detector

• Sends a IAS Zone Enrollment request to the CIE.

5. SW1 on the CIE

• Restarts EZ-Mode commissioning on the CIE. This step is necessary for finding/creating binds with the next device that joins the network.

6. SW1 on the Warning Device

• Runs EZ-Mode commissioning on the Warning Device ZED. A bind will be created on this device for the IAS WD cluster from the CIE.

The network setup is now complete. You can now send squawks from the CIE to the connected Warning Device with SW4 on the CIE, or you can cause a zone status change on the Fire Detector (i.e. start detecting a fire) by pressing SW4 on the Fire Detector, which will send a zone status change to the CIE and send an alarm to the Warning Device.
