SimplexGrinnell TFX Minerva -- FS-8700-45
FieldServer Driver - Serial
A communications interface solution for SimplexGrinnell
Description:
The SimplexGrinnell TFX Minerva driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data from a SimplexGrinnell TFX Minerva Fire Alarm System. The FieldServer connects using RS-232 to a TLT-530 with its Third Party Interface protocol. An RS-232 connection must be dedicated to the SimplexGrinnell Interface for each TLT-530 interface used (one per separate fire system). Using the SimplexGrinnell TFX Minerva Driver, the FieldServer should be considered a Server, allowing other clients to read states of other panels as well as generate events to the SimplexGrinnell TFX Minerva system.
Formal Driver Type: Serial, Client only
Connection type: RS-232 or RS-485 (half duplex)
Connection note: The FieldServer plugs into a TLT-530 board installed in a SimplexGrinnell TFX 500/800 fire alarm panel. The FieldServer appears as a node on the SimplexGrinnell Network.
Devices Tested:
