Number of points Each FSB-PC2 can support up to 3,600 programmed point events that are a combination of point events coming into the FSB-PC2 and point events going out to the BMS. Each FSB-PCLW can support up to 1,800 programmed point events. For example:
FSB-PC2 and FSB-PCLW Communication Bridge Installation Sheet
•
For an FSB-PC2, FSB-PC2, you could program program 1,800 point events to come into the FSB-PC2 and up to 1,800 point events to go out to your BMS.
•
For an FSB-PCLW, FSB-PCLW, you could program 900 point events events to come come into the FSB-PCLW and up to 900 point events to go out to your BMS.
When calculating the number of points in your application, consider that the total supported programmed point events are made up of panel devices (smoke detector, module, etc.) and event types (alarm, trouble, supervisory, time stamp, etc.), and that one device point reporting into the FSB from a p anel may have many event type points going out to the BMS.
Required tasks The following tasks are required to prepare the FSB for communication between your control panel and a BMS. 1. 2. 3. 4.
Program the FSB (see “Programming” “Programming” on page 2). Install the FSB (see (see “Installation” “Installation” on page 3). Connect the the field wiring (see “Wiring” on page 4). Test the system (see “Testing” “Testing” on page 5).
Getting started Before getting started, make sure the following tools are available:
Description The FSB-PC2 and FSB-PCLW field server bridges (FSB) are ancillary devices that provide a communication bridge between EST3 and EST3X life safety systems and a building management system (BMS) by converting the EST control panel External Communications Protocol into supported serial and Ethernet protocols. A list of the supported protocols can be found in “Specifications” on page 5. Notes •
The FSB is intended intended for for ancillary ancillary use use only. only. Use Use in non-ancillary applications is not permitted unless approved by the local authority having jurisdiction.
•
The FSB cannot be used for smoke control applications.
Application This section describes possible FSB communication applications between a control panel and a BMS. FSB programming, installation, and wiring is the same for each application.
•
A Windows PC with a network interface card.
•
An Ethernet network cable.
•
A list of the life safety safety system’s device addresses addresses and possible device states. Refer to the “Exporting the “Exporting the device address list from the 3-SDU” below.
• •
•
•
EST3X control panels support one FSB per control panel. Programmed point events are sent via the FSB to the BMS. EST3 control control panels can support support one or two FSBs per control panel. Each FSB is programmed with the point events it is responsible for sending to the BMS. EST3 and EST3X control panel networks can support multiple FSBs connected to the same BMS on a control panel network. The number of FSBs is limited by the number of ports available on the control panel network. Programmed point events are split between the FSBs in the network to one BMS. Each FSB is programmed with the point events it is responsible for sending to the BMS.
The FSB configuration file (config.csv) (config.csv) for the protocol being used used by your BMS. The default configuration file, BACnet IP, is stored in the FSB. Other protocol configuration files can be downloaded from my-eddie.com, as described in “Programming” on page 2.
You will also need the following manuals, which can be downloaded from www.protocessor.com/tech-su www.protocessor.com/tech-support/data-sheets pport/data-sheets-and-andinstruction-manuals.php: •

Exporting the device address list from the 3-SDU To program device addresses in the FSB configuration file, you need a list of the life safety system’s device addresses and possible device states (e.g., alarm, trouble, etc.). If you do not have the list, you can export it from the System Definition Utility (3-SDU). Note: To enable the Export button in the Export dialog box, the 3-SDU Cabinet Configuration must have at least one port set to Gateway Type III.
To export the device address list: 1. Open the 3-SDU project. 2. Click the Options menu, and then select Export Gateway Files. The Export dialog box opens. 3. Select the desired formatting options, and then click Export. (Press F1 to open the Help topic for the dialog box, if desired.) Four files are exported. 4. Open the OXP file in Microsoft WordPad or Notepad, and then print or save the data.
Step 6: Download protocol configuration files other than BACNET/IP If your BMS uses a protocol other than BACNET/IP, download the required protocol from the my-eddie.com website. 1. Open your Internet browser, go to my-eddie.com, and log on. 2. In the Media section, select Software from the Media Type list. 3.
In the Media Results section, locate FSB -PC - FieldServer Template Config files, and then click Download.
4.
Click Open, expand the EST3 sample Config files folder in the WinZip directory tree, and then select the configuration file you want to download.
5.
Click Extract, and then save the configuration file to a location on your PC.
Programming Individual system point events can be relayed to the BMS by programming device addresses in the FSB configuration file. You can program the FSB by using an external remote user interface program, or by using the b uilt-in graphical user interface (GUI). The steps in this section describe how to use the GUI method. Note: The DIP switches on the FSB are disabled. The field baud rate, node ID, and protocol selection are set in the configuration file. Step 1: Download and install the Utilities Software 1. Download the Install.zip file from www.protocessor.com/techsupport/utilities-and-design-documents.php to the PC. 2. Unzip the file, and then double-click the Install.msi file to install the utilities. The utilities will be used to create a diagnostic log to help debug programming.
Step 7: Modify the configuration file For this step, you need the device address list for the devices you want to program in the configuration file and the protocol manual for the protocol being used by the BMS. You should have knowledge of the protocol or access to someone who does. You may also find the ProtoCessor Configuration Manual useful during this step. To modify the configuration file: 1. Open the configuration file you saved in Step 5 and program the EST portion of the file as instructed in the FieldServer Driver Manual (FS9700-39 EST3-ECP Rev 1.13AA).
1. Ensure that the Frame GND (FG) terminal is used to ground the power connection.
2. For UL/ULC Listed EST3 and EST3X systems, remove the common control sections of the configuration file. These are not needed because you cannot control the life safety system through the BMS.
2. Connect power wiring from the FSB power terminals on the HOST connector to a control panel power supply or other 24 VDC power source. See Figure 5.
3. Program the BMS protocol portion of the configuration file as instructed in the FieldServer driver manual for the protocol being used.
Step 3: Confirm FSB connectivity and connect to the ProtoNode GUI
Step 8: Download the programmed configuration file to the FSB
Step 2: Power up the FSB
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet network cable to the Ethernet jack on the FSB and the other end to the jack on the PC. 2. Confirm connectivity as instructed in the FieldServer ProtoNodeRER and ProtoNode-LER Startup Guide. (The default IP address of the ProtoNode is 192.168.1.24, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.) 3. Connect to the ProtoNode GUI as instructed in the FieldServer ProtoNode-RER and ProtoNode-LER Startup Guide. Step 4: Change the FSB IP address to match the BACnet/IP network 1. Using the ProtoNode GUI, change the FSB address as instructed in the FieldServer ProtoNode-RER and ProtoNode-LER Startup Guide.
1. Open your Internet browser and go to the IP address of your FSB (the default is 192.168.1.24). 2. Expand the Setup folder under Navigation Tree, and then click File Transfer. 3. Click Choose File from the Update section under File Transfer, and then select the folder location where you saved and modified the configuration file on your PC in Step 7. 4. Choose the configuration file, and then click Submit. 5.
Click System Restart to update th e configuration file in the FSB.
Step 9: Disconnect the network cable 1. Disconnect the Ethernet network cable and power wiring from the FSB. 2. Install the FSB, as described in “Installation” on page 3.
Note: Do not disconnect the Ethernet network cable. Step 5: Upload the configuration file to the PC 1. Open your Internet browser and go to the IP address of your FSB (the default is 192.168.1.24). 2. Expand the Setup folder under Navigation Tree, and then click File Transfer. 3.

Wiring
To wire the FSB:
The FSB is powered by the control panel power supply. It communicates with the panel through an RS -232 connection to the panel’s CPU, and with the BMS through an RS-485, LonWorks, or Ethernet connection.
1. Connect power wiring to the FSB power terminals on the HOST connector and the AUX power terminals on the panel. See Figure 5. 2.
Notes •
The control panel Ports setting must be configured in the 3-SDU as Gateway Type III and the baud rate as 19200 baud.
•
For the power terminals, ensure that the Frame GND (FG) terminal is used to ground the power connection.
•
For FSB-PCLW LonWorks terminal wiring, follow the industry standard for bus topology wiring.
•
For RS-232 wiring, the maximum circuit length is 50 ft. (15.2 m).
•
For RS-232 wiring in a single EST3 control panel, if you are connecting two FSBs, both COM ports on the 3 -CPU must be available.
Connect RS-485 or LonWorks wiring to the FSB FIELD or LonWorks connector and the BMS RS -485 or LonWorks connection, as shown in Figure 4. — or — Connect the Ethernet cable to the FSB ETHERNET jack and the BMS network connection, as shown in Figure 5.
3.
Connect RS-232 wiring to the FSB RS-232 terminals on the HOST connector and the RS-232 terminals on the CPU. See Figure 5.
Figure 4: Wiring the FSB RS-485 and LonWorks connections
Figure 5: Wiring the FSB RS-232, power, and Ethernet connections
Notes • Power supply for an EST3 control panel is from the Auxiliary Power +/– terminals on a 3-PPS/M(-230), 3-BPS/M(-230), or 3-BBC/M(-230). Power supply for an EST3X control panel is from the AUX 24+/C terminals on the SFS1-CPU. • For an EST3X panel, configure C-CPU Aux power in the 3-SDU as non-resettable.
Testing Test communication between the control panel and the BMS to make sure the desired event points are being transmitted. Notes •
• •
For an FSB-PCLW, when commissioning the device you will be prompted by the LonWorks Network Management tool to toggle the Service Pin on the device. To do so, insert a small diameter screwdriver into the Service Pin hole (see Fi gure 6), make contact with the pin on the main board, and then tilt the screw driver toward the LonWorks connector to toggle the pin. For an FSB-PC2, you can find LED descriptions in the FieldServer ProtoNode-RER and ProtoNode-LER Startup Guide. For an FSB-PC2, a quick way to test BACnet/IP or BACnet MS/TP is to download a complimentary 30-day evaluation copy of Chipkin Automation's CAS BACnet Explorer at http://app.chipkin.com/activation/UTC30days/.
To test control panel and BMS communication: 1. From the control panel, initiate a point event that you programmed to be sent from the FSB to the BMS. 2. From the ProtoNode GUI, enter O and verify that the event message was transmitted to the BMS correctly. (Refer to the FieldServer Utilities Manual for details on using the GUI.) 3.
Restore the point event.
4. Test other points as required. Figure 6: FSB-PCLW Service Pin
