FieldServer Driver - Serial
A communications interface solution for Notifier
Description:
The Notifier AM6000 protocol driver is a serial driver. It allows the FieldServer to transfer data from a Notifier AM6000 panel over either RS-232 or RS-485 using Notifier AM6000 protocol. Notifier AM6000 serial driver is a passive client only driver. This means that the driver is capable of processing and storing data from unsolicited messages sent from a Notifier panel. It is not capable of polling for data or sending data to a panel. As the driver does not provide server side functionality it is not capable of emulating a Notifier panel. The driver receives messages intended for a system printer, interprets these messages by filling in data arrays in the FieldServer. This data is available for other devices or PLC's to read. As the messages do not contain information which would allow this driver to differentiate messages from one panel or another, no more than one panel can be connected to a port.
