1. Lutron Machine Description

The Lutron Machine driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over RS­232 using Lutron eLumen protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client,
although the Lutron Machine driver is only available in Client configuration. Any Server drivers
are for FieldServer testing purposes only.

Max Nodes Supported

FieldServer Mode Nodes Comments

Client 1

Server 1

The Lutron Grafik Machine Zone/Area Machine driver, hereafter simply referred to as the Lutron
Machine driver, provides a BACNet IP interface to a Lutron eLumen panel. The driver can be
configured to represent zones or areas as used in the Lutron eLumen panel. The FieldServer
acts as both Client and Server to provide BACNet objects to an external BACNet Client. In
Server mode, the FieldServer collects data from the eLumen panel and holds the data ready for
reads from an external BACNet Client. In Client mode, the FieldServer executes pre-defined
commands on the eLumen panel, for example, running scripts.

Only one Lutron Machine driver Client node is able to be
connected to a Lutron eLumen panel.
One BACNet IP node provides an upstream interface to the
Lutron eLumen panel.

4. Configuring the FieldServer as a Lutron Machine Client

For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the FieldServer
instruction 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 Lutron eLumen panel.

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 Lutron Machine 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.

Section Title

Data_Arrays

Column Title Function Legal Values

Data_Array_Name Provide name for Data Array

Data_Array_Format

Data_Array_Length

Example

// Data Arrays

Data_Arrays
Data_Array_Name, Data_Format, Data_Array_Length
Binary_Output, Bit, 512
Binary_Input, Bit, 512
Analog_Output, Uint16, 512
Analog_Input, Uint16, 512

Provide data format. Each Data
Array can only take on one format.

Number of Data Objects. Must be
larger than the data storage area
required by the Map Descriptors for
the data being placed in this array.

Up to 15 alphanumeric
characters
Float, Bit, UInt16, SInt16,
Packed_Bit, Byte,
Packed_Byte,
