Siemens FDCIO361 Cerberus FIT Addressable Input/Output Module, 1 Input and 1 Output
The Cerberus FIT input/output module on C-NET, with one monitored input and one output for controlling fire doors, ventilation and air conditioning.
How to choose
Input and output modules connect things that are not detectors to the addressable loop. An input reads a potential-free contact, for example a sprinkler alarm or a door status, and the line to it is monitored for open circuit and short circuit with end resistors. An output switches a relay to control fire doors, ventilation or air conditioning. Each input can be set from the panel as a status or alarm message. Pick by the number of points: the FDCI221 has 1 input and the FDCI222 has 4; the FDCIO221 has 1 input and 1 output (relay AC 22 V, 2 A or monitored DC 30 V, 2 A), and the FDCIO222 has 4 inputs and 4 relay outputs rated AC 250 V / 4 A. The Cerberus FIT FDCI361 and FDCIO361 are the C-NET versions of the single input and input/output modules.
Some modules have special jobs. The FDCIO223 transponder connects collective (conventional) detector lines, including lines with a Zener barrier for explosion-hazard areas, and gives monitored control of smoke dampers, door magnets and extinguishing activation devices through 2 configurable inputs/outputs. The FDCIO224 provides the VdS interface for extinguishing activating devices. The FDCI723 zone module puts one conventional detector line (110 series, DS11, SynoLINE 300/600) onto C-NET with an external DC 24 V supply.
Line separators keep a short circuit from taking down the whole line: the FDCL221 isolates the faulty section by opening the negative conductor, so the healthy side keeps working, and the FDCL221-M packs 9 separators in one module for several stub lines or 2 separate loops. The FDCL221-Ex line adapter electrically isolates Ex and non-Ex lines for FDnet-Ex and C-NET-Ex devices.
Panel cards expand the control panel itself: the FCI2003-A1 loop extension doubles the connectable loops from 2 to 4 on an integrated line, the FCL2001-A1 line card adds 4 loops or 8 stub lines in modular panels, the FCI2008-A1 adds programmable inputs and outputs, and the FN2001-A1 SAFEDLINK module networks up to 32 panels. FPS confirms the module and card part numbers against your panel before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
What does an input/output module do in a Siemens fire alarm system?
It connects contacts and equipment that are not detectors to the addressable loop. Inputs report states such as a sprinkler alarm or door position, and outputs control fire doors, ventilation and air conditioning.
What is a line separator?
It is an electronic switch on the FDnet or C-NET line that separates the negative conductor when a short circuit occurs, so the part of the line without the fault keeps working.
Can an old conventional detector line be connected to a Siemens addressable system?
Yes. The FDCI723 zone module connects a collective or conventional detector line (110 series, DS11, SynoLINE 300/600) to C-NET, and the FDCIO223 transponder can connect collective detector lines to FDnet or C-NET.
How do I add loops to a Siemens fire control panel?
The FCI2003-A1 loop extension doubles the loops on an integrated line from 2 to 4 (not for the FC721), and the FCL2001-A1 line card adds 4 loops or 8 stub lines to modular panels.
Does FPS supply and program Siemens modules in Bhopal?
Yes. FPS is a Siemens dealer and supplies, installs, programs and maintains Siemens modules and panel cards in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh. Prices are on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060.
