1 VESDA D E S C RIPTION
The VESDA driver allows the FieldServer to read data from VESDA LaserPLUS controllers (FAS or FD type) via the VESDA High Level Interface (HLI) communications module, using RS-232. The FieldServer can be used only as a Client with this driver, and operates in the HLI Master/Slave mode.
The information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the configuration files included with the FieldServer.

4 DATA A RRAY PARAMETER S
Data Arrays are “protocol neutral” data buffers for storage of data to be passed between protocols. It is necessary
to declare the data format of each of the Data Arrays to facilitate correct storage of the relevant data.

5 CONFI G U RING THE F I ELDSERVER AS A VE S DA CLIEN T
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 Vesda Server.
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable the FieldServer for Vesda 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.
5.1 Client Side Co n ne c t ion Para m eters
Example:
Not all ports shown are necessarily supported by the hardware. Consult the appropriate Instruction manual for details of the ports available
on specific hardware.
Most Vesda Panels are configured for Baud 19200.

Appendix B. Troubleshooting
Appendix B.1. VESDA Panel start-up delay.
When the HLI is powered on the FieldServer will not be able to communicate with the Panel for 10 to 30 seconds. During this time the HLI starts up its application code and initializes various internal parameters.
Appendix B.2. Reading Smoke Levels on the VESDA Panels
The Vesda panel only allows the driver to read the average Smoke Level on all the ports. Polling for individual sector smoke levels will always return a value of zero.
Zone setup - If the zone on the Panel has not been configured the zone must be set to zero in the
FieldServer configuration file.
Sector setup - Setting the sector to zero will allow the driver to poll for the average smoke level.
Refer to Appendix A.4 for more information.
