Classic QuickServer Gateway (Serial-Ethernet)

QuickServer is a high performance, fully configurable, cost-effective Building and Industrial Automation gateway for integrators to easily interface devices to networks in commercial buildings and industrial plants.

System integrators worldwide have benefitted from the value of the powerful line of interoperability gateways offered by FieldServer. Now, QuickServer adds to that value by running the same robust FieldServer protocol conversion software on a highly cost-effective platform backed by the experience, engineering expertise and proven technical support that integrators have come to expect from FieldServer.

QuickServer (Serial-Ethernet) is available in two series:

The FS-QS-1X10 Series is preloaded with two BAS drivers (two RS485 serial ports and one Ethernet port) Drivers from a list of over 150 protocols. There is a basic QuickServer that can handle up to 250 points and an enhanced QuickServer that can handle 500 points.

The FS-QS-1220 Series is preloaded with two BAS drivers (one RS485 serial port, one RS232 serial port, and one Ethernet port) Drivers from a list of over 150 protocols. Each QuickServer can handle up to 500 points.

Each QuickServer includes browser-based tools to make it easy to set-up QuickServer and perform diagnostics including determination of status, network settings, node information, map descriptors and more. The USB flash drive also includes the Discovery utility to determine what FieldServers are on a network.

DF1

The Allen Bradley DF1 driver, FS-8700-03 aka 8700-03, allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over RS-232 using DF1 protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client. The information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the configuration files included with the FieldServer.  

Modbus ASCII

The Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII drivers allow the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices using Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII protocol respectively. Data can be transferred over either RS- 232 or RS-485. The driver was developed for Modbus Application Protocol Specification V1.1a" from Modbus-IDA. The specification can be found at www.modbus.org.

The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client.

There are various register mapping models being followed by various vendors.

To cover all these models FieldServer uses the following three Models.

Modicon_5digit – Use this format where addresses are defined in 0xxxx, 1xxxx, 3xxxx or 4xxxx format. A maximum of 9999 registers can be mapped of each type. This is FieldServer driver’s default format.

ADU –Application Data Unit address. Use this format where addresses of each type are defined in the range 1-65536

PDU –Protocol Data unit address. Use this format where addresses of each type are defined in the range 0-65535.

The key difference between ADU and PDU is for example if Address_Type is ADU and address is 1, the driver will poll for register 0. If Address_Type is PDU, the driver will poll for address 1.

Note 1: If vendor document shows addresses in extended Modicon (i.e. 6 digit) format like 4xxxxx then consider these addresses as xxxxx (just omit the first digit) and use either ADU or PDU

Note 2: The purpose of providing 3 different ways of addressing the Modbus registers is to allow the user to choose the addressing system most compatible with the address list being used. At the protocol level, the same protocol specification is used for all three with the exception of the limited address range for Modicon_5digit.

SBT-FSI

The SBT-FSI (Siemens Building Technologies – Foreign Systems Interface) driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from Siemens MXL/XLS devices (NIM-1R1 or NIM-1W or RPM2 ) over either RS- 232 or RS-485 using MXL/XLS to foreign system protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or a Client. Note that the Driver does not support MXL and XLS panels networked together.  

I'd like to inquire about the DF1 to Modbus ASCII and SBT-FSI (SIEMENS MXL or XLS) QuickServer Gateway FS-QS-XXX0-0297. Please provide me with a quote for this product.
