System and method for controlling an electrically actuated device

摘要

Systems and methods for powering and controlling an electrically actuated device, such as a door lock, via a structured cable, such as an Ethernet cable, are disclosed. The system may include a receiver which transmits Internet Protocol (IP) control signals and non-IP alarm trigger signals over a structured cable to a transceiver. Both types of signals may be transmitted over the structured cable without interruption, and used to control a device. The IP and non-IP signals may be transmitted over the same structured cable to provide device control for non-alarm and alarm condition device actuation, respectively.

1. A system for controlling an electrically actuated device via a structured cable, the system comprising:
a first receiver having a structured cable input port, a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) input port, and a structured cable output port, said first receiver adapted to:
receive Ethernet Internet Protocol (IP) signals over a first structured cable;receive FACP non-IP trigger signals;transmit the Ethernet IP signals over a second structured cable; andtransmit non-IP analog trigger signals, based on the FACP non-IP trigger signals, over structured cable; a first transceiver having a structured cable input port and a device power output port, said first transceiver adapted to:
receive the Ethernet IP signals over the second structured cable;receive the non-IP analog trigger signals over the second structured cable; andtransmit or remove power to actuate said device responsive to the Ethernet IP signals and the non-IP analog trigger signals; and the second structured cable connecting the first receiver and the first transceiver.
