Communications or reporting for automated protection systems

摘要

A communications module (14) communicates between the tool (110) or control panel (104) and the technician. A communications module (14) connects to or by the control panel (104) or other controller of the protection system. The communications module (14) logs or stores output data and input controls of the control panel (104) or other controller. The data is formatted or configured into a report. The report may be output to another memory, such as memory stick, or another component, such as over a computer network. The report is sent or printed at a technician's convenience.
