FS-8700-39 EST3 Driver Manual 1. Page 3 of 21 EST3 Description The EST3 External Communications Protocol (ECP) driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from EST devices over RS-232 or RS-485 (with converter) serial ports using the EST3 ECP protocol. In the EST application the FieldServer always emulates a Client.

FS-8700-39 EST3 Driver Manual Page 10 of 21 Appendix A. Driver Notes Appendix A.1. PanelMasks: The 8 PanelMask parameters combine to form a 64-bit field in which each bit denotes an EST panel in the network. Commands that use the PanelMasks are executed by each panel for which the corresponding bit is set. The Map Descriptor need only define non-zero bytes in the PanelMask. Typically this will be EST_Panel_Mask_1 with a value of 1. Appendix A.2.

FS-8700-39 EST3 Driver Manual Appendix A.5. Page 12 of 21 Optional Data Arrays When optional parameters (EST_Alarm_DA, EST_Trouble_DA, EST_Supervisory_DA, or EST_Monitor_DA) are used, the driver automatically separates the Alarm Trouble, Supervisory, and Monitor bit from the incoming EST message and places the bit(s) in these Data Arrays at the same offset as the incoming message. Other types can be stored in EST_Others_DA Data Array.

FS-8700-39 EST3 Driver Manual Page 17 of 21 Appendix C. EST3 Data Format: Appendix C.1. Input data format Each input device is associated with a 16-bit value. The contents of the 16 bits are used to generate status types as shown in the table below. Each incoming event is allocated to a status type depending on its device type as shown in the table. It is possible to override this default status type allocation. Refer to Appendix A.5 for more information.

FS-8700-39 EST3 Driver Manual Page 20 of 21 Appendix D. EST3 ECP Connection Statistics: The EST3 ECP protocol has two distinct levels: • A poll-response connection is maintained by the EST panel acting as the master. The bytes transferred in this process are displayed on the FieldServer as SCADA bytes transmitted and received. • The FieldServer acts as a client by inserting requests into its response messages; the EST panel then inserts the requested data into its subsequent polling messages.
