FieldServer LonWorks® Gateway (Multiport)
LonWorks® - Serial - Ethernet
FS-B4011-01
A 10-serial, 2-Ethernet, 1-LonWorks port protocol translator bridge enables data transfer between serial and Ethernet devices and LonWorks. An extensive library of drivers provides easy interoperability between a variety of devices used in building automation, HVAC and fire control industries.
FieldServer Gateway is a protocol translator gateway which
enables devices using one protocol to communicate with devices using another
protocol. An example is a fire alarm panel using a proprietary manufacturer’s
protocol needing to supply alarm information to a building automation system.
In a single, comprehensive package the FS-Bridge provides the hardware and
software necessary for this translation.
The FS-B4011-01 includes eight RS232 ports, two RS485 ports, two Ethernet (10baseT) ports and one LonWorks port to interface to the devices. Some key features about the LonWorks capability of the FS-B4011 are:
- Allows binding of SNVTs and UNVTs
- Provides capacity for all the network variables contained in the 3rd party device and controller – up to the LonWorks limit of 4095 points
- 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
FieldServer Technologies also offers fee based configuration services. FS-Bridges are also available for various fieldbuses.
