AFP-2800/2802 Manual – P/N 11249 11-Mar-08 89
7.2 NETWORK POINTS (WHERE APPLICABLE)
Note: Netpoints are only available in V4 and above of the AFP-2800 FIP.
Each network node can have up to 1000 local network points (Netpoints or NPs) that are activated by scripts. NPs
are either ON or OFF depending on their associated scripts. A NP is not added to any of the lists and is only used
in scripts. NPs are the only remote points allowed in scripts. For example, a script that operates between network
nodes cannot contain N10.L1D1, instead L1D1 should be mapped to a NP on node 10 and that NP used on
remote panels for scripting. That is, node 10 must contain the script: NP1 = L1D1; and the network script will be
N10.NP1;
Each AFP-2800 node can access the status of both local and remote NPs across the entire network. The address
formats are as follows:
Local node NP: NPxxxx NP1 to NP1000
Remote node NP: Nxxx.Npyyyy N1.NP1 to N240.NP1000
Example 1:
There are 5 panels on the network and each panel has a local NP100 as common alarm for that node. Therefore
each panel will have the following script for its local NP100:
NP100 = CA;
The bell on Node 1 is required to activate if any of the panels in the network go into alarm. The bell on Node 1 is
driven off expansion relay XR1. Therefore, the Node 1 Bell Output script is:
XR1 = NP100 OR N2.NP100 OR N3.NP100 OR N4.NP100 OR N5.NP100;
Example 2:
There are 5 panels on an AFP-2800 network. There is a toggle switch on Node 1 which is mapped to a non
latching input module L1M1. Nodes 2 to 5 have a local AC shutdown relay L2M10. Netpoints can be used to
prevent fans on Nodes 2 to 5 from operating by activating the toggle switch on the main panel (Node 1).
On node 1 program NP200 to follow the state of L1M1 – N1.NP200 will activate when L1M1 on Node 1 is
activated.
NP200 = L1M1;
On Nodes 2 to 5 program the AC shutdown (L2M10) to only activate if N1.NP200 is not active (switch is off)
On Node 2 - L2M10 = CA AND !N1.NP200;
On Node 3 - L2M10 = CA AND !N1.NP200;
On Node 4 - L2M10 = CA AND !N1.NP200;
On Node 5 - L2M10 = CA AND !N1.NP200;
Using the above scripts, the state of toggle switch on Node 1 is transmitted to all other nodes on the
network by N1.NP200. The other nodes on the network use the state of this netpoint to stop their local AC
shutdown relay from operating when the switch is in the on position.
