5 CONFIGURING THE FIELDSERVER AS A NOTIFIER NCA2/NFS2-3030 CLIENT
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable
the FieldServer for Notifier NCA2/NFS2-3030 communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to
be declared in the “Data Arrays” section, the destination device addresses need to be declared in the “Client Side
Nodes” section, and the required data from Notifier Panels needs to be mapped in the “Client Side Map
Descriptors” section. Details on how to do this can be found below.
Note that in the tables, * indicates an optional parameter, with the bold legal value being the default.
For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the FieldServer Configuration Manual. The
information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the configuration files
included with the FieldServer (See “.csv” sample files provided with the FieldServer).
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer to receive
information from a Notifier Panel.
5.1 Panel Status - Memory Mapping
The primary purpose of this driver is to record the status of devices connected to the Notifier panel by interpreting
the text messages sent to the printer or CRT port. Not all messages will be interpreted, as many messages do not
directly pertain to device status, or are not currently supported. The following subset of event messages is
recognized:
Active Events:
FIRE ALARM
SECURITY ALARM (LIFE)
LIFE CRITICAL ALARM
MEDICAL EMERGENCY
SECURITY ALARM
CRITICAL PROCESS
SUPERVISORY
TROUBLE/ FAULT
DISABLED
PREALARM
ACTIVE
ON/ OFF
This Driver divides the memory into various types. Each location in each memory type is assigned an address. It is
therefore possible to map an address to a particular offset in a Data Array and make it accessible for reading by
other connected devices. The address structure is provided in Table 1.
Most of these addresses will only contain binary information to represent an active or inactive state.
Where multiple troubles are associated with a single device the addressed register corresponding to that device
will be incremented as a counter for each trouble message and decremented when a trouble is cleared. These
addresses should preferably be stored in SINT16 format in the Data Array.
