ICSII Data Fact Sheet
Up one levelChipkin Automation Systems has developed a FieldServer driver which communicates with Rapid Engineering's ICSII controllers. The driver can read process/status information and can send commands and setpoints. Combining this driver with any of the other FieldServer drivers allows you to easily transfer data between:

FieldServer Driver
FS8700-106
ICSII HVAC Controller Protocol
FS8700-106
ICSII HVAC Controller Protocol
Description
This driver is used to exchange data between a FieldServer and an ICSII HVAC controller device.
The driver is a serial driver using an RS485 serial port to connect between the FieldServer and the ICSII capable device.
The driver provides client functionality.
As a client the driver can poll for data from the ICSII device as well as being able to some control points and set points. Details are provided below.
Server functionality is built into the driver but is not documented or supported. This functionality is implemented to support our ongoing QC efforts.
| Fieldserver Mode | Nodes | Comments |
| Client | 99 | Up to 99 ICSII devices can be linked on one RS485 network. The functional specification of the EIA485 standard limits the number of nodes per segment to 32. If additional network segments are required then repeaters are required. |
