Siemens Connect X300 Installation Instructions

Description

Connect X300 is a physical device that serves as the gateway connection between a Cloud service and a controlled/monitored system. This system in a building can include fire alarm control panels, devices, sensors, detectors, etc.

Connections and Indicators

• X1P1: Connection to Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular via FCM2041-U2/-U3 Operator Interface.
• Connection to Desigo FC2025/FC2050 and Cerberus PRO FC922/FC924 via FCM2018/2019/2035-U2/-U3 Operating Units.
• Connection to Desigo FV2025/2050 and Cerberus PRO FV922/924 via VCA2002-A1 Card Cage.
• X2P1: Connection to internet network.

Features

• Two Ethernet ports for WAN and LAN.
• Remote firmware and configuration data update over the IP Interface.
• LED indication of activities and state.
• Operating voltage: DC 24V.
• Max current load: 515mA DC.
• Plug-in screw terminal block for supply.
• Mounting on wall using enclosures.

Depending on firmware, the following functions are supported (examples):

• Multi-site management.
• Remote monitoring.

Application

The device integrates Desigo Fire Safety Modular, Cerberus PRO Modular, Desigo FC2025/FC2050/FV2025/FV2050, and Cerberus PRO FC922/FC924/FV922/FV924 fire panels over IP. It transmits data to the cloud over IP networks or over mobile networks (3G/4G/LTE).

Functions

The Connect X300 provides two integration levels to connect fire alarm control panels to the cloud: System integration (between the Connect X300 and the fire panels) and cloud integration (between the Connect X300 and the cloud). The Connect X300 supports Ethernet and 3G/4G/LTE for cloud connectivity.

Mounting and Wiring

The Connect X300 can be mounted inside the ENCL-01, P/N S54465-C63-A1, or PAB-ENCL Siemens enclosures using adaptor plates. Adaptor plate CGAP, P/N S54811-B101-A1, is used with the ENCL-01 enclosure while adaptor plate CGAP2, P/N S54811-B102-A1, is used for the PAB-ENCL enclosure. Refer to Figures 2 through 6.

Wiring the Connect X300 Gateway inside PAB-ENCL Enclosures

To connect the ethernet cable, see Figure 3. Use knockouts from the right side; wires are considered Power Limited. To connect the power to the Connect X300 Gateway, see Figure 2. Option: The FP2011-U1 Power Supply can be used with the cable provided to connect the power from the FP2011-U1 Power Supply to the Connect X300 Gateway. Use knockout close to the location of the Power Supply to enter the box. Wires are considered Non-Power Limited.

Configuration

Configuring for the Cerberus PRO FC922/FC924/FV922/FV924 and Desigo FC2025/FC2050/FV2025/FV2050

Refer to FG2004 Commissioning Guide, Document ID A6V11382550.

Configuring for the Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular using Zeus

1. Insert a Custom Enclosure.
2. Under this, insert the X300 Gateway.
   • Connection Supervision: Check property to enable supervision. If checked, a "Not responding trouble" will be reported each time the connection between the Operator Interface and Connect X300 is lost. By default, this property is unchecked.
   • Cloud Battery Backup: Check option to add the gateway to the battery calculations. By default, the value is checked.

Cyber Security Disclaimer

Siemens provides a portfolio of products, solutions, systems, and services that include security functions supporting the secure operation of plants, systems, machines, and networks. In Building Technologies, this includes building automation and control, fire safety, security management, and physical security systems.

To protect against cyber threats, a holistic, state-of-the-art security concept is necessary and must be continuously maintained. Siemens' portfolio is one element of such a concept. Users are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their systems, which should only be connected to an enterprise network or the internet when necessary and with appropriate security measures (e.g., firewalls and/or network segmentation) in place. Siemens' guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into account.
