FS-8700-40 SBT FSI Driver Manual 1 Page 3 of 29 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 1-10 (one Client per physical Client FieldServer serial port).
FS-8700-40 SBT FSI Driver Manual 3 Page 4 of 29 HARDWARE CONNECTIONS Configure the MXL/XLS device according to manufacturer’s instructions. 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).

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).
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.

FS-8700-40 SBT FSI Driver Manual Page 12 of 29 4.4.4 Map Descriptor example 1 - Monitoring a MXL/XLS Device for Events To monitor a MXL/XLS device we need only one “poller” Map Descriptor as shown below. 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.

FS-8700-40 SBT FSI Driver Manual Page 22 of 29 Appendix A. Advanced Topics Appendix A.1. Specifying a Poller Map Descriptor length The poller Map Descriptor is responsible for checking a remote MXL/XLS device for events. When events are received the poller Map Descriptor increments counters at various offsets in the Data Array specified by the poller Map Descriptor. The offsets and their meanings are explained under the Client configuration section of this Driver Manual.
FS-8700-40 SBT FSI Driver Manual Page 23 of 29 Appendix A.2. Interpreting Panel Error Messages A NAK is sent by the panel when it is unable to respond to a message. The format will be as follows: T02> DRV-> CER : Panel replied with NAK on last message! T02> DRV-> CER : Reason: 1 The following table lists the reason for the failure and the suggested corrective action. Note that the messages are generated by the panel, not the FieldServer.
FS-8700-40 SBT FSI Driver Manual Page 24 of 29 Appendix A.4. Using Trouble Codes In order to see the trouble codes for incoming troubles it is necessary to use a Uint16 or Int16 data array for the trouble instead of the normal Bit. When the driver stores a trouble code of for example 15 into a Bit data array, it will be displayed as 1 since Bit only holds either a zero or a one value. Using a Uint16 or Int16 data array will ensure the value of 15 is displayed.
