FieldServer LonWorks Gateway

LonMark CertifiedSerial - Ethernet - LonWorks®

FS-B3510

The LonMark Certified LonWorks Multiport Gateway provides a wealth of features to enable data transfer between different devices and networks utilizing serial, Ethernet or LonWorks protocols. The extensive library of FieldServer protocol drivers provides easy interoperability with devices and networks used in building automation, HVAC, fire and process control industries.

LonWorks GatewayThe LonWorks Gateway is designed to meet the needs of system integrators in designing a complete interoperable system. The LonWorks Gateway brings together the powerful FieldServer driver library with state-of-the-art gateway design.Multiport design allows for serial-to-serial interfaces or interface from mulitple serial products to an Ethernet or LonWorks network. The two Ethernet ports enable the integrator to connect a PC to download configuration changes without disturbing the system connections and without the additional cost of an external hub. This FieldServer LonWorks Gateway includes:

  • Four serial connections (two RS-232, two RS-485), two 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports, and a LonWorks port.
  • Allows binding of SNVTs and UNVTs
  • Provides capacity for all the network variables contained in the 3rd party device and controller – up to 1000 Network variables
  • Capable of supporting polled and synchronized modifiers for network variables
  • Capable of reading and translating user network variable types (UNVTs) to standard network variable types (SNVTs)
  • Configurable to supply a .xif file for use in LNS tools and utilities

In addition to LonMark Certified, the FS-B3510 also is OPC Certified and DNP3 Certified. Check the LonWorks Gateway Data Sheet for additional information. FieldServer Technologies also offers fee based configuration services.

FieldServer Technologies continuously strives to enhance our gateways and the latest LonWorks Gateway includes a major software upgrade, resulting in significant enhancements in performance, including:

  • 40% higher point count capability - some protocols are major memory hogs, and the result is that they can slow down performance of any gateway.  With the greater memory enhancement, the FS-B35 Series can easily handle all of the drivers extremely well.
  • Memory utilization monitoring - the user is provided with application memory statistics (in both kB and as a percentage of the available memory) enabling optimal matching of device models and configurations to specific applications.
  • Improved stability and performance under high loads - the new software enhances the operation making it more forgiving to configuration problems with fewer crashes when capacity limits are reached.
  • USB firmware update - this allows the firmware or configuration of the FieldServer to be updated from a USB flash drive whenever it is inserted, enabling users to easily update firmware in the field.  This is a great time saver if you have multiple FieldServers in the field.
