Fire Protection Network (FPN)
Fire Protection Network from Johnson Controls
The Fire Protection Network (FPN) is the latest dedicated fire and safety control system that links all fixed fire fighting systems to the ships integrated platform management system. The FPN uses human machine interfaces (HMI’s) that can control and monitor fire safety systems and make logical decisions based on owners' requirements.
The Fire Protection Network (FPN) is a proven PLC/server-based system that seamlessly integrates with our MX and T2000 addressable fire detection panels.
Benefits of the FPN:
The system is totally flexible and can be configured to the user own requirements and expanded as the need arises. It gives the user total status visibility and control, automatic or manual, of all the vessels firefighting devices, components and skids. The system will also integrate the ships PAGA, camera and security systems, access monitoring and certain types of detection that may not always be available on Fire Detection panels alone.
The system is a robust dual redundancy configuration using SIL2 certified products for absolute optimum reliability. The FPN can be easily integrated into the ships own management system via industry standard serial coms i.e. Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet and now the industry standard high reliability Profisafe SIL2 coms.
