Hochiki FireNet Serial -- FS-8700-144
FieldServer Driver - Serial
A communications interface solution for Hochiki America
Description:
The Hochiki Serial driver allows the FieldServer to read data from Hochiki FireNET panels over RS-232. The FieldServer acts as a Client and reads the event log queue to record the status of the panel and various devices connected to the Hochiki FireNet panel. The protocol used by the Fieldserver is independent of the user interface language of the panel. This driver is not capable of emulating a Hochiki FireNet panel.
The Hochiki FireNET panel can be a standalone panel or part of network. Each Hochiki FireNet Fire Alarm Panel on the Network is considered as a Node. Up to 64 Nodes can exist on one network. The Hochiki FireNet panel logs the events as they occur. The FieldServer continuously reads the number of events in the log queue. When new events occur, they are read from the log via the PC (J5) port. The FieldServer parses and stores the data in Data Arrays. These Data Arrays can be monitored by third party tools.
