- 2-Wire conventional smoke circuits use a pair of wires for both power and signal functions. On 2-wire circuits, the detectors are wired in parallel along a single path with an EOL resistor at the end of the circuit. When any detector goes into alarm, the circuit is brought to a near short. The panel senses the near short and goes into alarm.

The fire sensor might use M-Bus or a protocol (most likely, proprietary) similar to M-Bus. To transmit the command, the master sends it as a voltage impulses. To transmit the answer, the peripheral uses short high current consumption impulses.
In a two-wire system, both power and data are transmitted through the same pair of wires. This can simplify installation but may limit the distance between devices. Four-wire systems, on the other hand, separate power and data transmission, allowing for longer distances between devices.
The basic idea is that the power is DC and the data is AC. With some electronics (that can be as simple as an RC filter or a transformer) the two (data, power) can be combined and separated in each device.
