Gamewell-FCI Serial Driver -- FS-8700-83
FieldServer Driver - Serial
A communications interface solution for Gamewell-FCI
Description:
Gamewell-FCI IF610 Fire Alarm panels are equipped with a serial port which produces panel, circuit or device status messages. The Gamewell-FCI serial driver is designed to process these messages and store this status information in numeric form. The numeric value will indicate the type of event being reported and the storage location in the FieldServer’s data arrays is (configurable &) dependent on the origin of the message (panel / circuit / device ).
Additional information such as event date and time and descriptions are ignored. The Gamewell-FCI driver is capable of supporting a panel configured to supervise the port by responding to the panel’s supervision queries. This is a passive client driver. The Gamewell-FCI driver listens passively for unsolicited messages produced by the Gamewell panel.
