National Time & Signal FACP -- FS-8700-105
FieldServer Driver - Serial
A communications interface solution for National Time & Signal
Description:
National Time and Signal Corporation manufactures Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP). The series 900 and 902 FACP's can include the BACnet interface option. When suitably equipped with the BACnet interface, the FACPs can transmit data to a FieldServer to make the data available to other devices and networks.
This driver is a passive client driver which does not actively poll for data but listens passively for data to be sent by the FACP's. Messages sent by the FACP are either stored or ignored by the FieldServer based on panel status. The configuration determines how these messages are processed.
No automatic panel data synchronization technique exists. The data in the FieldServer and the panel status have to be synchronized manually.
