Esmi Fire Legacy Software

Why modernize?

Confidential Property of Schneider Electric |

Page 2

Legacy software has been around for almost 30 years and will enter End-of-Service in 2024

The customer install base relies on legacy fire software for daily operations and emergency situations and upgrading is critical for maintaining performance

New customer requirements are more challenging to respond to with legacy fire software

It is challenging to integrate legacy fire software with other systems that may exist in the building

Cybersecurity requires regular updates/patches that legacy software may no longer receive

Compatibility with new technologies can be difficult and modernization would help to ensure a seamless integration

The digital transformation of buildings is ongoing, where building owners and facility managers are looking for new and innovative ways to efficiently manage their buildings.

Building owners and facility managers depend on multiple systems to ensure that their building is operating as intended.

Transitioning a legacy fire detection system to modern and digital solution therefore goes beyond only fire detection.

Information from all critical building management systems must be available at any given time in a single hub.

Engineering efficiency is a mandatory enabler for modernization and a key differentiator for modern digital software solutions.

Toolset simplification where one toolset can be used for various building management systems enable faster engineering and improved operations
“Push-button engineering” allows for a cost-effective way to transition the legacy system configuration to a modern solution.

A fire detection system is essential in any building, with the primary purpose to safeguard the occupants in the building.

With more digital and connected solutions it’s imperative that cyber security compliance is built-in.

When modernizing any legacy install base, it is important to provide solutions that respond to customer needs today and tomorrow.

- EcoStruxure™ is an open and interoperable architecture, which unlocks new customer value today and prepared to meet evolving customer needs in the future.

Start with a comprehensive site transition plan customized for the fire detection system, over all budget and technical needs.�
Review the overall fire detection strategy, operational needs, and the future building management vision

Step 1: Create a plan

As budget and schedule allow, swap legacy fire panels from FX3net to Esmi Sense FDP.

Larger fire detection systems can be divided into sections, in which fire panels can be upgraded one section at a time.

Step 2: Replace legacy hardware�(only partial replacements required)

To minimize disruption, support for automated modernization tools, such as Esgraf Graphics Export tool and Fire Expert Graphics Import, bring engineering efficiency to the overall modernization.

Reusing the legacy fire detection configuration reduces the overall setup time.

Automated migration of legacy graphics to new software solutions, brings a huge cost savings to the overall modernization cost.

Step 3: Replace legacy software
