FS-8700-40 SBT FSI Driver Manual Page 3 of 29 1 SBT-FSI DESCRIPTION The SBT-FSI (Siemens Building Technologies – Foreign Systems Interface) driver allows the FieldServer to transfer 1 2 data to and from Siemens MXL/XLS devices (NIM-1R or NIM-1W or RPM ) over either RS-232 or RS-485 using MXL/XLS to foreign system protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or a Client. Max Nodes Supported FieldServer Mode Nodes Comments 1-10 (one Client per physical Client FieldServer

It is possible to connect a MXL/XLS device to any RS-232 or RS-485 port. The appropriate ports must be configured for MXL/XLS in the configuration file. 3.1 Using the NIM-1R or NIM-1W for MXL 3 • Configure the NIM-1R or NIM-1W for Foreign System Interface (FSI) by setting all of the switches in SW2 to open (or OFF).

FS-8700-40 SBT FSI Driver Manual Page 7 of 29 Notes 1 Map Descriptors are used to determine which bit to set in the Data Array. When an event arrives from a panel, the FieldServer will scan for a Map Descriptor with a Node_ID matching the panel number reported in the event. This Map Descriptor will point to the Data Array to be modified. The location can be further refined if a starting module within the panel is specified in the Block_Number field. Each module represents 256 bi

In order to enable the FieldServer for SBT-FSI 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 data required from the Servers needs to be mapped in the “Client Side M

The function of this Map Descriptor’s is to continuously check the MXL device for events from panels. Only one poller Map Descriptor per FieldServer port is required when monitoring more than one MXL/XLS device. The Node_Name will indicate on which port this Map Descriptor resides.
