FST Dfs Inet2000

The document describes the TAC I/Net 2000 driver that allows a FieldServer to transfer data to and from Server and Client devices on an RS-485 multidrop network using the TAC I/Net protocol. The protocol supports one Client and up to 32 Servers that are assigned addresses from 0 to 31. The driver enables the FieldServer to connect as either a Client or Server device to a TAC I/Net network for reading and writing data to devices such as TAC I/Net 7793 controllers.

FieldServer Driver - Serial
FS8700-71
TAC I/Net 2000
Description
The TAC-I/Net driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from Server and Client
devices on a MR LAN over RS-485 using TAC-I/Net driver protocol.

The protocol works over a multidrop RS-485 line and allows only one Client and up to 32
Servers on a network channel. Servers are assigned station addresses that range from 0 to 31.
The Client does not have a station address.

If more than 320 points are needed on the I/net network an alternative is for the customer to
purchase the 7797-15 Modbus RTU interface card. This interface card will allow 2000 points to
be passed to the I/net Sublan. This will change the application from I/net to Modbus, but it will
work.

Fieldserver Mode Nodes Comments
Client 1 Only 1 client node allowed on multidrop systems
Server 32
This is the limit per i/net panel. The 32 nodes correspond
to the maximum of 32 mrs that an i/net panel supports.

Connection Notes
The TAC-I/Net Client driver supplied with the FieldServer is currently only used for emulating
TAC-I/Net hardware such as the 7793 MCI and should not be used under normal
circumstances. Please refer to the section on how to configure the FieldServer as a TAC-I/Net
Server if you intend to connect the FieldServer to TAC-I/Net hardware as shown in the
connection diagram above. TAC-I/Net hardware such as the 7793 MCI are Client devices to the
FieldServer since they initiate polls with commands to the FieldServer which acts as a Server.

It is recommended that the FieldServer have a dedicated i/net port and a dedicated 7793
controller to avoid compatibility problems with other devices on the network.
