Abstract (en)

The invention relates to an electronic unit (10) for monitoring and controlling one or more fire sensors (SEN) of a fire detection system (100). Such unit comprising: - a processing stage (1); - a managing stage (2) of the sensors which can be connected and activated to generate digital cyclical querying signals (S1, S2) to be sent to the sensors to verify their operative state; - an electrical power supplying stage (3) to generate direct current electrical potentials to be supplied to the managing stage of the sensors starting from a predetermined reference power supply potential (Vcc). In such electronic unit, the electrical power supplying stage comprises a first electronic circuit (30, 40, 50) to generate: - a first potential (V1) higher than the reference potential; - a second potential (V2) equal to the reference potential; - a third potential (V3) lower than the reference potential. The managing stage of the sensors comprises a second electronic circuit (60, 61, 65, 66) to generate: a first digital cyclical querying signal which assumes a high level equal to the second potential and a low level equal to the third potential; a second digital cyclical querying signal adapted to assume a high level equal to the first potential and a low level equal to the second potential. Such first and second digital cyclical querying signals are associated with different communication protocols to be made available to the fire sensors of different type of the fire detection system.
