When integrators need to interface Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panels to Buidling Automation Systems, they come to FieldServer Technologies, the major producer of gateways in the industry. FieldServer provides the ability to view the ancillary information and not interfere with the AHJ approved fire control system. Interfacing Fire Alarm Control Panel information into the Building Automation Systems (BAS) provides the building manager web access to monitor fire control ancillary information remotely.
Building Managers, System Installers and Fire Alarm Control Panel manufacturers trust FieldServer Technologies to provide effective, efficient and seamless interface to BAS. Working closely with every major FACP manufacturer in the United States, FieldServer has developed comprehensive protocol drivers that work with all current and most legacy FACP. FieldServer maintains expert knowledge of protocol requirments and updates drivers when manufacturer changes are released.
FieldServer Technologies gateways serve the fire alarm and building automation industries with interoperability solutions between open protocols such as BACnet, LonWorks, Metasys or Modbus plus a variety of proprietary and legacy protocols, and even process control protocols. With a driver library of over 100 protocols for both the building automation and the process control industries, FieldServer has the solution to plant and building operator's integration challenges.
Fire Alarm Panel manufacturers and integrators have come to FieldServer Technologies for interface solutions using:
- FS-B20 Series Serial-LonWorks-Ethernet Gateway - ideal for basic conversion of Fire Alarm Panel protocol to BACnet, LonWorks, Modbus or more
- FS-B35 Series Multiport Gateway - ideal for higher point counts, particularly in applications requiring interface to multiple networks
- FS-B40 Series 10port Gateway - ideal for major building applications involving multiple networks and systems
- ProtoCessor - ideal for OEM applications
FieldServer Technologies, a wholly owned division of Sierra Monitor Corporation, designs and markets a broad line of devices that enhance communication between various instruments, systems, machines and other devices that utilize non-compatible data protocols. The FieldServer combined with the extensive driver library makes the perfect package to acheive interoperability. Drivers included in this library are Modbus, LonWorks®, BACnet, JCI Metasys, DH+, Profibus, plus drivers for fire alarm panels, controllers, and many other devices.
The primary purpose of FieldServer products is to allow communications over Ethernet (IP) with delivery to client devices in a format which is immediately useful to the client device. Ethernet drivers include Modbus TCP, BACnet Ethernet, EtherNet/IP, BACnet IP, Allen Bradley CSP, and more.
FieldServers can be found in industrial plants and commercial buildings around the world meeting the interoperability needs of facilities managers and process control engineers.
