BACnet IP
During the registration process, the Instadose+ driver and client are installed on the users’ computer and their dosimeter is initialized for use. Users also have the option of downloading the Instadose ® mobile app to a smart device (phone or tablet) for online account access. Mircom is recognized as an essential business and remains fully operational during the pandemic. Please be advised, from January 14, 2021 until February 10, 2021 most of Mircom’s head office staff are obligated to work remotely as per the order of the Government of Ontario.
The BACnet/IP driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over Ethernet using BACnet/IP protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client.
All information in a BACnet system is represented in terms of objects. The Object_Identifier is a 32-bit code that identifies the type of Object (also identified by the Object_Type Property) and its 'Instance' number, which together uniquely identify the Object within its BACnet device. Theoretically, a BACnet device could have over four million Objects of a particular type. The Object_Name is a text string, which has a unique capability.

BACnet devices may broadcast queries for devices that contain Objects with a specific Object_Name. This can greatly simplify project setup.
BACnet requires one Device Object to be present in every BACnet device. The Device Object makes information about the device and its capabilities available to other devices on the networks. Before one BACnet device starts control-related communications with another, it needs to obtain some of the information presented by the other device's Device Object. Unlike other Objects, the Device Object's Instance number must be unique across the entire BACnet internetwork because it is used to uniquely identify the BACnet devices. It may be used to conveniently identify the BACnet device from other devices during installation.
Standard object types are used to hold real time data and other information. Each Object Type is referenced by a number, for example 0 represents an Analog Input. See Appendix D.1 for abbreviation list.
Each Object consists of a number of prescribed properties, the main property being the Present_Value. Objects are monitored and controlled through their properties.
The information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the configuration files included with the FieldServer.
Classic QuickServer Gateway (Serial-Ethernet)
QuickServer is a high performance, fully configurable, cost-effective Building and Industrial Automation gateway for integrators to easily interface devices to networks in commercial buildings and industrial plants.
System integrators worldwide have benefitted from the value of the powerful line of interoperability gateways offered by FieldServer. Now, QuickServer adds to that value by running the same robust FieldServer protocol conversion software on a highly cost-effective platform backed by the experience, engineering expertise and proven technical support that integrators have come to expect from FieldServer.
QuickServer (Serial-Ethernet) is available in two series:
The FS-QS-1X10 Series is preloaded with two BAS drivers (two RS485 serial ports and one Ethernet port) Drivers from a list of over 150 protocols. There is a basic QuickServer that can handle up to 250 points and an enhanced QuickServer that can handle 500 points.
The FS-QS-1220 Series is preloaded with two BAS drivers (one RS485 serial port, one RS232 serial port, and one Ethernet port) Drivers from a list of over 150 protocols. Each QuickServer can handle up to 500 points.
Each QuickServer includes browser-based tools to make it easy to set-up QuickServer and perform diagnostics including determination of status, network settings, node information, map descriptors and more. The USB flash drive also includes the Discovery utility to determine what FieldServers are on a network.

QuickServer (Serial-Ethernet) is available in two series:
The QuickServer FS-QS-2X10 series is available at four different point capacities. Each QuickServer is preloaded with twodrivers (serial and/or Ethernet) from a customer’s choice of 140 different drivers, E.G. Modbus, BACnet, SNMP, EtherNet/IPand many more.
The FS-QS-2010 with 2 RS485 and 1 ethernet port can support up to 250 points. The FS-QS-2210 can support up to 500 points.The FS-QS-2310 can support up to 3,000 points. The FS-QS-2410 can support up to 5,000 points.
Equivalently the FS-QS-2020 with 1 RS485, 1 RS232 and 1 ethernet port can support up to 250 points. The FS-QS-2220 can support up to 500 points.The FS-QS-2320 can support up to 3,000 points. The FS-QS-2420 can support up to 5,000 points.

Mircom PRO2000
The driver provides an interface to monitor a Mircom Pro2000 Fire Alarm Panel. It is able to readstatus data from the panel – when combined with another protocol driver this data can be servedusing another protocol such as BACnet, Lonworks, Johnson Controls N2, Rockwell, XML etc. Ablock diagram showing potential connectivity is provided below.
To avoid manual configuration the driver is provided with a utility that is used to aid in the creationof the FieldServer configuration.
This utility reads the PRO2000 Modbus CSV and uses this tomake BACnet objects, for each device connected to the system. One set of objects for eachdevice is created – reporting the alarm, trouble and other status info of the device. The ModbusCSV file is created when the panel is configured and is provided by the engineer who configuresthe fire alarm panel.
This is an active client driver – it sends commands and polls and the panel responds with data.The driver cannot be used to emulate a PRO2000 ( cannot be used as a server).
The driver supports a small subset of the command/query functions and assumes the deviceshave been configured correctly and appropriately to achieve the control required.
