1 LUTRON MACHINE DESCRIPTION

The Lutron Machine driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over RS-232 using Lutron
eLumen protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client, although the Lutron Machine driver is
only available in Client configuration. Server drivers are for FieldServer testing purposes only.

Max Nodes Supported

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 pre­defined commands on the eLumen panel, for example, running scripts.

4 DATA ARRAY PARAMETERS

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 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.

The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable
the FieldServer for Lutron eLumen 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.

Not all ports shown are necessarily supported by the hardware. Consult the appropriate Instruction manual for details of the ports available

on specific hardware.
