Gent Vigilon Commissioning Tool โข Easy
Configures complex timing for high-rise buildings. Core Features and Functionality ๐ ๏ธ Cause and Effect Programming
Incorrect power settings leading to system failure during a power cut.
The tool is a PC-based software package (often referred to as Commissioning Tool or VCT) that connects directly to the Gent Vigilon fire alarm control panel. It serves as the bridge between the hardwareโsensors, sounders, and panelsโand the logic that dictates how the system behaves during a fire event. gent vigilon commissioning tool
The Gent Vigilon system is "closed protocol," meaning only authorized engineers with the correct version of the commissioning tool and valid security credentials can make changes to the system's core programming. Maintaining Your System
A proprietary cable (usually RS232 or USB-to-Serial) to connect the PC to the panel's command port. Configures complex timing for high-rise buildings
The tool can "learn" the loop, identifying every device connected to the system. It generates a visual map of the wiring, which helps engineers identify: Open circuits or short circuits. The exact location of "missing" devices. The signal strength of each sensor. ๐ Analog Value Monitoring
This is the most critical function of the software. Engineers use it to write rules such as: "If smoke is detected in Room A, activate the sounder in Room A immediately, but delay the sounders in Room B by 3 minutes." This level of granularity is essential for reducing panic and managing orderly evacuations. ๐ Loop Mapping and Topology It serves as the bridge between the hardwareโsensors,
To operate the Gent Vigilon Commissioning Tool effectively, a specific set of hardware and credentials is required:
