Apollo XP95 and Discovery
Apollo addressable protocol families with compatible devices, interfaces and supported control panels.
What to establish before changing a system
A shared brand name does not guarantee interoperability. Confirm the panel model, firmware, loop card, device generation, software access, approved configuration and installed equipment before proposing a change.

Read resourceFrequently Asked Questions
Can devices from different protocols share one loop?
Usually not unless the control equipment and a specifically approved interface support that arrangement. Confirm exact compatibility.
Can an obsolete panel be replaced without changing field devices?
Sometimes, but only after checking loop protocol, device generation, loading, isolators, cause-and-effect and approval implications.
What should be captured before programming changes?
Back up the current configuration, identify the software and firmware versions, document the intended change and plan witnessed functional tests.
