1. Secutron Modul-R driver Description

The Secutron Modul-R driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from a Client and a Server
panel on a single point to point network over RS-232 using Secutron Modul-R protocol.

The protocol is strictly command/response with the Client polling a Server device. A Server device can
report the generation and clearing of alarms to the polling Client. One panel can be connected per
FieldServer port. The driver supports networked panels connected to a single port. The server driver
only supports 10 panels due to memory limitations. A Server panel can consist of up to 100 circuits.

Whan an alarm is generated, a bit is set and when the alarm is cleared, the bit is cleared. The panel
number is identified by the Node_ID in the configuration file.

4. Configuring the FieldServer as a Secutron Modul-R driver 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” files on the provided with the FieldServer).

This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer to
communicate with Secutron Modul-R panels.

The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order
to enable the FieldServer for Secutron Modul-R driver 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.

4.1. Data Arrays/Descriptors

Section Title

Data_Arrays

Column Title Function Legal Values

Up to 15

Data_Array_Name Provide name for Data Array
