  • Patent number: 11790763
    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer program product for configuration of a control center, in particular a fire alarm and/or extinguishing control center, and to an associated method. The computer program product comprises: a hardware configuration component for configuration of hardware components such as modules and/or front panel components of the control center, a logic configuration component for configuration of a functional logic of the control center, wherein the logic configuration component is designed to provide functional components. The functional components are decoupled from the hardware of the control center and embodied in such a way that reversible assignment of functional component to hardware component is made possible.

  • Patent number: 11069212
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a housing for a fire alarm and/or extinguishing control station having a housing body (20), which comprises an opening (22) on a front side (24), a housing door (30) for closing the opening (22) and a hinge arrangement (40), which is configured to allow opening and closing of the housing door (30). The housing door (30) has an outer face (32), which faces an observer when the housing body (20) is closed and an inner face (34) which is opposite the outer face (32), wherein the housing door (30) has an indicator and/or operating component (36) on the outer face (32).

  • Patent number: 10726707
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hazard detector for an evaluation unit (12, 14), e.g. a fire detector and/or extinguishing control center (12). The hazard detector (10) comprises a housing (16) having at least one sensor unit (22) or a sensor interface for connecting the sensor unit (22) to capture a hazard parameter. Moreover, the hazard detector (10) comprises a first electronic assembly (26), electrically connected to the sensor unit (22) or the sensor interface, for processing sensor signals of the sensor unit (22), and a second electronic assembly (30), connected to at least one first interface (38) for electrically connecting the second electrical assembly (30) to a physically remote evaluation unit (12, 14). In this arrangement, the first electronic assembly (26) and the second electronic assembly (30) comprise a wireless data connection (32) for transmitting the processed sensor signals from at least the first electronic assembly (26) to the second electronic assembly (30).
