DESCRIPTION

The LonWorks driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices using LonWorks protocol. Data transfer occurs via TP/FT10 twisted pair interface with an exhaustive list of protocols including Modbus, BACnet etc. Data transfer is via 2 basic functional blocks, Input and Output allowing Float and Word SNVT data types. The FS-B30 Series and SlotServer can handle up to 4096 Network Variables and the FS-B2011, QuickServer, ProtoNode and ProtoCessor up to 1000 which can be of the Standard Network Variable Types (SNVT) and/or User-defined Network Variable Types (UNVT). The FieldServer LonWorks device can be used with explicit and/or implicit addressing and can be bound to a maximum of 15 other LonWorks nodes. The FS-B30 Series can handle a maximum of 4096 explicitly addressed nodes and the FS-B2011 up to 1000. The FieldServer currently supports a default of 63 network variable aliases to avoid network variable connection constraints. The FieldServer can transfer data (Network Variables) in two ways. It can poll (request data from) other devices at a regular interval. It can send Network Variable Updates At a regular interval When the data has changed In throttled mode using minimum and maximum send time and change on delta parameters.

The FieldServer is capable of being configured by Network Management Tools such as LonMaker. For binding (implicit mode), a Network Management Tool is necessary to create the bindings. It is possible to place a FieldServer into a Network for explicit communications without using a Network Management Tool, but this requires intimate knowledge of the network in question. The external interface file (.XIF) for the FieldServer can be uploaded from the FieldServer for the particular application. The FieldServer differs from most other LonWorks devices in that its XIF file is not fixed due to varying applications. The list of points available to the network will vary depending on the other networks connected to the FieldServer, and the requirements of the particular application. The recommended procedure for obtaining the XIF file for the FieldServer is to upload it. The following FieldServer Platforms are LonMark Certified: FS-B20 FS-B35 FS-B40 FS-SlotServer FS-QuickServer-Lon ProtoCessor-Lon

The FieldServer provides the capability of defining multiple functional blocks, but only a single LonMark object. The user can create multiple functional blocks or a LonMark object by filling out the Node Self-Documentation String and the respective Network Variable Self-documentation String fields in the FieldServer configuration file.

Connection Notes

The screw plug supplied with the FieldServer LonWorks interface will connect the FieldServer to the FTT-10 network. The 2wire twisted-pair connection to the network is polarity insensitive. The FTT-10 network is a free topology network which supports star, loop and/or bus wiring connections. Please refer to the FTT-10A Free Topology Transceiver Users Guide from Echelon Corporation for recommended wiring practices if necessary. Additional information on cabling and junction boxes that may be used in twisted pair LonWorks networks are detailed in the following Echelon Publication: http://www.echelon.com/support/documentation/bulletin/005-0023-01O_Jbox_wiring.pdf.

The Driver can read and write remote Configuration Properties implemented as Network Variables.

READ OPERATIONS SUPPORTED


FieldServer as a Server Polled Network Variables: -Respond to Network Variable Fetch -Respond to Network Variable Poll

FieldServer as a Client Polled Network Variables: -Send Network Variable Fetch -Send Network Variable Poll

WRITE (CONTROL) OPERATIONS SUPPORTED


FieldServer as a Server Network Variables Updates: -Accept Network Variable Updates

FieldServer as a Client Network Variables Updates: -Send Network Variable Updates

10 UNSUPPORTED FUNCTIONS AND DATA TYPES


Function Programming messages Direct Memory Read / Writes under user control LonMark Protocol File Transfer Reason FieldServer is a data transfer device, and as such, programming messages are not required The driver uses the Echelon MIP which handles direct memory read and writes The Driver does not support reading and writing remote Configuration Properties implemented as files. The Driver, therefore does not support the LonMark File Transfer Protocol that is commonly used to access these remote files.
