Heatcraft-Smart Controller II
Driver Description
The FieldServer Heatcraft Smart Controller II (HCSCII) driver has the following functionality:
- Status monitoring of Heatcraft Smart Controller II (HCSCII).
- Set system parameters.
- Read logged data and error/alarm log.
Status monitoring is achieved by storing system parameters and data for the HSCII in data arrays on the FieldServer. These may be read from the FieldServer by other devices serving other protocols.
Detailed information on the data array offset for a particular parameter or data is provided in the driver manual.
System Control commands can be issued to set system parameters. Two methods for configuring these System commands are provided for this operation (See Driver Manual for details).
The Driver can read and store logged data into a data array. The data is stored sequentially in the data array with the most recently logged information appearing first.
| Fieldserver Mode | Nodes | Comments |
| Client | 1 |
The FieldServer can support one Smart Controller device or Main communication hub per port. A Main communication hub can be connected to up to four Smart Controllers or secondary communication hubs. Each secondary communication hub can support up to four Smart Controllers. Thus the FieldServer can support a maximum of 16 Smart Controllers per port with the use of one main and four secondary communication hubs. |
| Server | 32 | [e.g: This is the limit per i/net panel. The 32 nodes correspond to the maximum of 32 mr's that an i/net panel supports.] |

Connection configurations
Communications functions - Supported functions at a glance:
The FieldServer can be configured as a client to issue commands to read system parameters/data or to set system parameters. The following commands can be issued when FieldServer is configured as a client. (Note. Spare commands do not have their English names at the time of development but can be issued by using their hex representation. Driver will store and send data without any manipulation.)
General Commands:
These commands are used to start communication. On detection of a DTR signal on the serial connection, the Smart Controller issues a "Password Challenge" command. Once the correct information is received from the FieldServer, the data on the Smart Controller is accessible for reading by the FieldServer. All System Parameter Commands (write commands) will be ignored by the Smart Controller until the "Validate Password" command is received from the FieldServer. The "Set Password" command can be used to override the Smart Controller default password.

Driver Limitations & Exclusions
- The FieldServer cannot be connected to the Smart Controller II through a Modem.
- When initiating the storage of logged data, the FieldServer is updated with all logged data. This may take some time depending on the current que index (number of records available after the 0th record)
- The Server is not able to resend the Password Challenge (#61) once it has received a response for this command.
- The FieldServer will not capture error/alarm records if the number of records exceeds 2000 or data log records if the number of records exceeds 4000 per system per Smart Controller.
- System Control Commands can be issued to set system parameters. Since the Smart Controller driver updates four parameters in a single operation, a single updated parameter could result in 3 parameters being updated with old information. See the Driver manual for further information.
