FS-B3520-05 Gateway

Description

Fieldserver Gateway/Protocol Converter, Serial/Ethernet/PROFIBUS DP Master (Includes PROFIBUS DP Master Driver).

The FieldServer PROFIBUS DP Slave gateway makes it easy for integrators to interface devices utilizing various building or industrial protocols to PROFIBUS DP Slave networks. As the leading manufacturer of protocol gateways in the building automation industry, FieldServer has developed the largest driver library in the industry and the widest range of gateways available, designed to meet the needs of system integrators.

The FS-B3512-05 provides a wealth of features to enable data transfer between different devices and networks utilizing serial (RS-232 or RS-485), Ethernet, LonWorks and PROFIBUS DP Slave. The multiport design allows for serial-to-serial, serial-to-Ethernet, LonWorks and PROFIBUS DP Slave interfaces. With a larger point count than any similar gateway, the FieldServer FS-B35 series provides a single device solution for your networking needs. The FieldServer is designed to meet a wide range of interface needs and it is easily configured as a master or a slave.

Configuration is easy, but if needed, configuration services are available from FieldServer Technologies support team. The proven FieldServer support team is recognized around the world for its knowledge of the many different protocols involved in building automation.

FieldServer Technologies continuously strives to enhance our gateways and the latest FS-B35 series includes a major software upgrade, resulting in significant enhancements in performance, including:

Features

• 40% higher point count capability - some protocols are major memory hogs, and the result is that they can slow down performance of any gateway. With the greater memory enhancement, the FS-B35 Series can easily handle all of the drivers extremely well.
• Memory utilization monitoring - the user is provided with application memory statistics (in both kB and as a percentage of the available memory) enabling optimal matching of device models and configurations to specific applications.
• Improved stability and performance under high loads - the new software enhances the operation making it more forgiving to configuration problems with fewer crashes when capacity limits are reached.
• USB firmware update - this allows the firmware or configuration of the FieldServer to be updated from a USB flash drive whenever it is inserted, enabling users to easily update firmware in the field. This is a great time saver if you have multiple FieldServers in the field.
