A great solution to the FCI 7100 Series System Control Units are manufactured by Game well Fire Control Instruments. A 7100 with an enabled serial port can transmit data to a FieldServer which can, in turn and provide that data on other protocol Networks like BACnet, Modbus, Lonworks, SNMP, Metasys N2 and others.
FCI 7100 Series System Control passive Client driver does not poll for data, nor does it send data or commands to the 7100. Messages received from the 7100 are ignored or stored on the FieldServer depending on the status of the panel. If there is more than one alarm panel they can be networked and configured to send event data to the primary panel. The driver can process messages which identify the node of origin.

How to configure the FieldServer Gateway?
- We will configure the Gateway for you based on your requirement and support you during commissioning of the Gateway, so you do not have to worry about configuring the FieldServer Gateway.
- However, it is very helpful to know how to configure the devices. All the required tools and supporting product manuals with be provided completely free of cost with your purchase.
- Configuration of the FieldServer is done using a '.csv' file. This file can be edited using any text editor (example Microsoft excel).
- In this file we need to enter information for the Client and Server side interfaces of the FieldServer. This includes but is not limited to:
a. Node ids of the slave devices
b. MSTP addresses/device address of the slave devices
c. Baud rate, parity, stop bits for serial communication
d. Scan rates
- And finally we need to create an internal mapping that would map each data value read on the client side to a data value on the server side.
- For detailed information on configuration please get in touch with us and review the configuration manual on top of this page
