Description
The Gent VIG-BNG-RW is the read-write BACnet gateway assembly for Vigilon and Compact fire alarm systems, with Binary values for Command Build operation. It links a BACnet client to an EN54 Vigilon system. For the VIG-BNG/VIG-BNG-RW pair, the Compact network-node fitting uses CARD 1 for the carrier and CARD 2 for the network card. This shared route uses RS232 port 1 at 19200 baud, RJ45 Ethernet to the head end and the node's 24V supply. Select Read/Write in the BACnet Import Generator to match this board and set the site mapping and scanning options required for the connected fire system.
The VIG-BNG-RW is Gent's read-write BACnet gateway assembly for Vigilon and Compact systems. Its Binary values are used for Command Build operation. Select Read/Write in the BACnet Import Generator when this board is fitted, then prepare the gateway files for the particular network and panels.
Read the full technical description
The VIG-BNG-RW is Gent's read-write BACnet gateway assembly for Vigilon and Compact systems. Its Binary values are used for Command Build operation. Select Read/Write in the BACnet Import Generator when this board is fitted, then prepare the gateway files for the particular network and panels.
The Read/Write configuration offers mapping and scanning choices for the head-end display. These include sector alarm status, sensor sensitivity STATE and Command Build mapping. The gateway can therefore be configured to pass the selected status information to the head end. Use the required options for the installation and check the resulting indications during commissioning.
The Read/Write Preferences tab also allows prefire and subfault events to be selected for display at the head end. These choices form part of the gateway configuration. Identify which indications the receiving system requires before saving the settings, then check them as part of the completed integration.
For the VIG-BNG/VIG-BNG-RW pair, the Vigilon Compact network-node installation uses a shared fitting and wiring arrangement. In that arrangement, the carrier fits P2, CARD 1, alongside the network card in P1, CARD 2. PB6 terminals TX1, RX1 and 0V connect to J4, NUP A, on the gateway, using RS232 port 1 at 19200 baud and Standard Mode. RJ45 Ethernet connects at J3 ENET; the 100 ohm cable has a maximum run of 100m. The separate supply runs from PB15, 24V and 0V, to the gateway's 24V IN terminals.
VIG-BNG and VIG-BNG-RW require 24V DC at 270mA and operate from 0°C to 49°C, with 93% non-condensing humidity at 30°C. Both use Vigilon 3217 and BACnet 135-2004 Annex J for IP. Gateway files are prepared with the BACnet Import Generator. Give gateways unique network numbers and IDs when they share a client and subnet, and provide the BBMD details when gateway and client use different subnets.

FAQs
What identifies VIG-BNG-RW within the BACnet gateway range?
VIG-BNG-RW is the read-write board version, and its Binary values are provided for Command Build operation. The BACnet Import Generator has a Read/Write selection specifically for this model. Check the installed part number and choose that setting before preparing the gateway files. VIG-BNG is separately designated as the read-only board version. For an integration using the RW functions, identify the required Command Build operation and the receiving client's needs when planning the configuration and its commissioning checks.
Which scanning and mapping options are specific to the RW board?
The Read/Write settings include scanning of sector alarm status and sensor sensitivity STATE, together with mapping of Command Builds. These settings pass the selected status information to the head end, and the RW board uses Binary values for Command Build operation. The Read/Write Preferences tab also allows prefire and subfault events to be selected for display. The BACnet Import Generator prepares the gateway files with Read/Write selected for VIG-BNG-RW, using the mapping, scanning and event preferences required by the installation.
Can VIG-BNG-RW report prefire and subfault events?
The Read/Write Preferences tab allows prefire and subfault events to be selected for display at the head end. These options form part of the VIG-BNG-RW configuration prepared in the BACnet Import Generator, with Read/Write selected for this board. Other Read/Write options include sector alarm status, sensor sensitivity STATE and Command Build mapping. The gateway uses Binary values for Command Build operation. The selected mapping, scanning and event preferences determine the information passed to the receiving system.
How is VIG-BNG-RW connected in a Compact network node?
In the shared VIG-BNG/VIG-BNG-RW arrangement, the carrier goes into P2, CARD 1, with the network card in P1, CARD 2. The gateway's J4 NUP A connection is wired to PB6 TX1, RX1 and 0V on the node, using RS232 port 1 at 19200 baud. Ethernet connects at J3 ENET through RJ45, while PB15 supplies 24V and 0V to the gateway's 24V IN terminals. The client-side connection uses a 100 ohm Ethernet cable with a maximum run of 100m.
What needs to be checked when configuring VIG-BNG-RW?
Select Read/Write in the BACnet Import Generator and prepare the gateway data and settings files for the connected panels. Check the mapping, scanning and event preferences required at the head end. For both gateway kits, the gateway's node must have the lowest node address in its domain, and gateways sharing a client and subnet need unique network numbers and gateway IDs. Where client and gateway use different subnets, provide the BBMD details. Finish by testing the head-end indications against the requirements of the installation.
