1. Honeywell Zellweger IR-148 Description

The Honeywell Infrared Gas Monitor (Model IR-148) detects solvents and gases such as
HCFCs, HFCs and PFCs. IR-148 can have 1, 4 or 8 sampling points. This InfraTox driver
reports gas values, alarms and troubles from IR-148 having either 1 or 8 sampling points.
The serial driver can emulate a client or a server. The FieldServer and IR-148 device are
connected using a RS-485 network.

As a Client: The driver listens passively for messages from the Honeywell Zellweger IR-148 t
and stores data extracted from the messages. The driver cannot poll the IR-148 device for
data. The driver records some additional data age information (which is stored in the
FieldServer’s Data Arrays) because messages do not always contain information about all
sensors and depending on the IR-148 operational mode (e.g. Locked mode.), may never
contain information other than for one sensor.

As a Server: The Server side of this driver has been developed primarily to test the Client side
driver as part of FieldServer’s QA program. The driver sends messages reporting the state of
the samples. The Server driver can also be locked to report the status/value of one particular
sample channel.

It is possible to connect two Honeywell Zellweger units (IR-148) on one RS-485 network
provided that one unit is configured as a single point unit (IR-148 1 point) and the other as an 8
point unit (IR-148 8 point). At this stage only one device with 8 points has been tested.

To allow for the possibility that the device is connected on a RS-485 network with other devices
(such as the relay module option) messages that are not 49 bytes long and which do not begin
with 0xB1 will be ignored. The Driver will, however, provide statistics for the ignored as well as
the processed messages.

To see supported messages and the way the Driver stores Data, refer to Appendix A.2

4. Configuring the FieldServer as a Honeywell Zellweger IR-148 Client

For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the FieldServer
Configuration Manual. The information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory
defaults provided in the configuration files included with the FieldServer (See “.csv” sample files
provided with the FieldServer).

This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer
to communicate with a Honeywell Zellweger IR-148 Server having one or eight sensors.

4.1. Data Arrays/Descriptors

The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data
required. In order to enable the FieldServer for Honeywell Zellweger IR-148
communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to be declared in the
“Data Arrays” section, the destination device addresses need to be declared in the “Client
Side Nodes” section, and the data required from the Servers needs to be mapped in the
“Client Side Map Descriptors” section. Details on how to do this can be found below.

Note that in the tables, * indicates an optional parameter, with the bold legal value being the
default.

For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the FieldServer
Configuration Manual. The information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory
defaults provided in the configuration files included with the FieldServer (See “.csv” sample files
provided with the FieldServer).

This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer
to report sensor data to Honeywell Zellweger IR-148 Client. As a Server this driver sends Gas
value, Alarm, Trouble and Lock point messages. The driver can be locked to send data for only
one particular sensor.

The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required.
In order to enable the FieldServer for Honeywell Zellweger IR-148 communications, the driver
independent FieldServer buffers need to be declared in the “Data Arrays” section, the
FieldServer virtual node(s) needs to be declared in the “Server Side Nodes” section, and the
data to be provided to the Clients needs to be mapped in the “Server Side Map Descriptors”
section. Details on how to do this can be found below.

The Driver expects similar a Data array format to send data to the Client when acting as a
Server.

Appendix A.3. Driver stats

In addition to the standard FieldServer operating statistics the driver can expose certain key
stats in a Data Array which can then be monitored by an upstream device. Adding the
following to the configuration file will activate these stats for a driver configured as a Client.

// Expose Driver Operating Stats.

Data_Arrays
Data_Array_Name, Data_Format, Data_Array_Length
Infra-stats, UINT32, 200

Stat
#

0 INFRA_TROUBLE_MSG_RECV Number of trouble messages received

1 INFRA_TROUBLE_WITH_ALARM_MSG_RECV

2 INFRA_ALARM_MSG_RECV Number of Alarm messages reported

3 INFRA_GAS_VALUE_MSG_RECV

4 INFRA_GAS_VALUE_WITH_ALARM_MSG_RECV

5 INFRA_LOCK_MSG_RECV Number of Lock messages reported
6 INFRA_BLANK_MSG_RECV Number of Blank messages reported

10 INFRA_ST_0xB1_49_RECV_DISC

11 INFRA_BAD_ST_49_RECV_DISC

12 INFRA_NOT_49_RECV_DISC

13 INFRA_NOT_49_RECV_BYTES_DISC

20 INFRA_BAD_CRC_MSG_DISC

For the node connected at R1; Offset = Stat number
Example: The number of messages discarded because of bad start can be found at Offset 11

For the node connected at R2; Offset = 100 + Stat number
Example: The number of messages discarded because of bad start can be found at Offset

Stats Description

Number of Alarm as well as Trouble
messages reported

Number of Gas Value messages
reported
Number of Gas value as well as Alarm
messages reported.

Number of discarded messages
starting with 0xB1 with length 49 bytes
Number of discarded messages not
starting with 0xB1 with length 49 bytes
Number of discarded messages with
length not 49 bytes.
Length of the latest discarded
message with length not 49 bytes.
Number of messages discarded
because of bad checksum.

Appendix B. Driver Error Messages

Some configuration errors might produce an error every time a poll is generated. This will fill the
error buffer quickly and not add any clarity. For this reason the driver suppresses subsequent
similar messages. Thus it is possible for the same error produced by multiple Map Descriptors
to produce only one error message. Subsequent error messages can be seen on the driver
message screen.

Note : In the actual message you will see that %d has been replaced by an integer, %s by text
indicating a data array name or map descriptor name and %x by two hex characters.

Error Message Description and Action Required

This error will be generated when the driver tries to store data for a
sensor but the corresponding Data Array is not long enough. Set the
Data Array length as indicated..

Honeywell Zellweger IR-148-8.8-Channel or another unit is connected
at the indicated port of the FieldServer but the Configuration file does
not define a Map Descriptor to capture data from this unit. Change the
CSV file to define a Map Descriptor to communicate with this device if
required.
If there are multiple nodes then make the Node_ID the number of
points (sensors) for which Zellweger units are configured.
In Simulation mode the driver can send messages from files indicated
by the Map Descriptor name. Check that the required file exists and
that it is not in use by another application, or change the mode from
simulation to operation by deleting the parameter
“INFRA_SIMULATION” from .the CSV file.
Set Map Descriptor’s function to Passive_Client if driver is configured
as a Client or wrbc if configured as a Server.

The Map Descriptor length parameter is either not defined or set to 0.
Set the Map Descriptor length to 100.

This error will be generated if you are using the Infra_func parameter
with an incorrect value. See section 0 for legal values.

This error will be generated when the driver tries to send a message to
the Client, but the Data Array used to compose the message is
insufficiently long to hold information for all 8 sensors. Set the Data
Array length as indicated.
In Server mode the driver does not send messages from lines starting
with # or //. Change the Data_Array_Offset parameter for the indicated
line in the ini file.
If an Upstream Device writes a value at a memory location under the
influence of the given Map Descriptor, the Write-thru operation will be
cancelled as the Driver cannot write to an UnfraTox unit..

It is possible to define a Data Array known as “Infra-stats” (see 0) This
Data Array is very useful for statistics purposes.
