Building Alarm
Management Gateway
The NETNOVA Building Alarm Management Gateway is designed to unify and digitize alarm data from various systems within a facility. It connects to fire alarm panels, elevators, escalators, HVAC units, water pumps, and any BMS-connected subsystem using dry contact (VFC) or communication protocols.
Alarms are transmitted in real-time via NB-IoT, LTE-M, or Ethernet to cloud dashboards or building control rooms. The gateway provides event logging, relay-based outputs for automated actions, and API integration with SCADA, CMMS, or Smart City platforms.
Product Features:
-
16x Volt-Free Contact (VFC) inputs for multi-zone alarm monitoring
-
4x Relay outputs for remote-triggered actions
-
Ethernet, NB-IoT, LTE-M, and Dual SIM cellular connectivity
-
Supports Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, BACnet IP/MSTP
-
Local display with status LEDs and alarm indicators
-
Optional battery backup for power outage resilience
Use Cases:
-
Fire alarm monitoring
-
Elevator fault reporting
-
Escalator system alerts
-
Pump station fault detection
-
Water tank level alarms
-
Gas detection system integration
-
Power system failure notification
Benefits:
-
Centralizes monitoring of all building system alarms into a single interface
-
Reduces manual checks through automated alarm forwarding to cloud or BMS
-
Speeds up maintenance response via real-time alerts and relay actions
-
Enhances integration with existing BMS or smart building platforms
-
Enables audit trail and alarm history for regulatory compliance
-
Scalable and protocol-flexible for new or legacy buildings
Solution Diagram
Multi-System Alarm Integration
Supports fire alarms, elevators, escalators, water pumps, gas detectors, and other building systems through 16x VFC inputs—enabling centralized alarm monitoring across the entire facility.
Hybrid Communication Support
Built-in Ethernet, NB-IoT, and LTE-M options with Dual SIM failover ensure uninterrupted alarm transmission to the cloud or BMS, even in the event of network failure.
Protocol-Level Compatibility
Seamlessly interfaces with BMS platforms using Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, and BACnet IP/MSTP, making it plug-and-play with both legacy and modern automation systems.
Smart Automation & Remote Control
Features 4 programmable relay outputs to trigger automated actions like system shutdowns, escalator stoppage, or siren activation based on alarm logic or cloud-triggered events.
