The IKS UDP Driver allows the Gateway to connect to an IKS device and poll for real time data. The driver also allows a user to send various commands to control the IKS device.
The Gateway connects to the IKS device, reads data and stores it internally. When a remote system requests the data, it is served in a form that is appropriate to the request’s protocol. In the case of commands, users will send write requests that will trigger the gateway to send a control command to the IKS device.
The driver is an Ethernet driver that uses Ethernet cables and a hub or a switch to connect the Gateway and the IKS device. The IKS device must enable and support the UDP interface.
CAS Hardware 700
The CAS 700 Hardware device contains 2x 9-pin serial ports (1x RS485 and 1xRS232), and one Ethernet port. The device also contains a microSD card where system files, assets, configurations, and logs are stored.
The device has the following system drivers that can be enabled:
- HTTP REST Server - a passive web server with an API that users can interact with the device to get or set values
- HTTP Push Driver - a driver that can be configured to push data in a specific format (JSON, XML, CSV) to a 3rd party web server. Current data formats are Chipkin's default JSON payload and VeederRoot Tank data as JSON. Please contact Chipkin for information on adding additional formats.
BACnet IP Driver
The CAS BACnet IP driver allows the CAS Gateway to transfer data to and from devices over Ethernet UDP/IP using the BACnet IP protocol. The CAS Gateway can either be a Client, reading and storing values from a BACnet device, or a Server, making data available as BACnet objects.
The CAS BACnet IP Driver supports the following BACnet Services:
| - Who-Is | - Who-Has |
| - Read Property | - Read Property Multiple |
| - Write Property | - Write Property Multiple |
| - Subscribe COV | - Time Synchronization |
Note: Chipkin is always updating the BACnet IP Driver. For a recent list of supported services, please visit www.chipkin.com or contact us. If there are services that you require that are not listed, please contact us to discuss how we can add them to the driver.
IKS Driver
The CAS IKS driver allows the CAS Gateway to read data and command an IKS device over Ethernet UDP/IP. The CAS Gateway can only connect to one IKS device.
The CAS IKS reads and stores all the data available on the IKS device and supports the following commands:
- Start
- Change
- Stop
- EV Disconnect
- Write Settings
- Reset Abnormality
