Veeder-Root -- FS-8700-74
FieldServer Driver - Serial
A communications interface solution for Veeder-Root
Description:
The Veeder-Root protocol driver is a client only driver. It is not capable of acting as a slave. Ie. It cannot emulate a Veeder-Root device. The Veeder-Root Serial driver supports a limited set of functions defined by the Veeder-Root protocol specification ( 576013-635 Revision J). The driver is capable of exposing communication statistics so that they can be monitored by a downstream device. Only one Veeder-Root device may be connected to each port of the FieldServer. This limitation arises because the protocol is nodeless. (Messages do not identify the source/dest node.) Alarms may be polled using two methods. The first method is to poll for the active alarm table or the system status and have the Veeder-Root driver store alarm states for all the tanks/sensors reporting alarms. The second method is to poll for the alarm state or specific tanks/sensors.
