YorkTalk -- FS-8700-30
FieldServer Driver - Serial
A communications interface solution for York
Description:
The YorkTalk protocol driver enables the user to easily interface York devices to building automation systems utilizing BACnet, LonWorks, JCI Metasys, Modbus and more.
York Translator – the recommended option: A direct RS-232 connection is made to the chiller. This is a very cost effective option as a single FieldServer can support 8 simultaneous connections. The aggregate bandwidth is then also 8 times higher than in the case of a single multidrop connection to 8 devices.
XL Translator – a RS-232 connection is made to the XL Translator (also known as ISN LDC 17 - Link Data Controller), which in turn communicates with York devices via RS-485. For this configuration, the York Chillers must be fitted with the “Linc Chiller” module to allow compatibility with the LDC’s RS-485 network.
MicroGateway - a RS-232 connection is made to the MicroGateway, which in turn communicates with York devices via RS-485. For this configuration, the York Chillers must be fitted with the “Linc Chiller” module to allow compatibility with the LDC’s RS-485 network.
