QuickServer – LonWorks to JCI Metasys N2

FS-QS-1011-0097 QuickServer – LonWorks – JCI Metasys N2

The FS-QS-1011-0097 QuickServer provides a cost-effective, easy to use interface from LonWorks to JCI Metasys N2. The QuickServer is delivered with both drivers preloaded and ready to be configured using the provided instructions and software.

 

QuickServer Key Features:

  • Ability to interface up to 250 points of common BAS protocols
  • Multi-configuration capability; specific configurations selectable via DIP switches or software
  • Flat panel mount standard, DIN rail mount option
  • DIP switches to select baud rate or node ID on the fly

 

LonWorks driver:

  • The FieldServer LonWorks device can be used with explicit and/or implicit addressing and can be bound to a maximum of 15 other LonWorks nodes. The QuickServer can handle a maximum of 250 explicitly addressed nodes. The QuickServer currently supports a default of 63 network variable aliases to avoid network variable connection constraints.
  • QuickServer can transfer data (Network Variables) in two ways
    • It can poll (request data from) other devices at a regular interval
    • It can send Network Variable Updates at a regular interval, when data has changed, or, in throttled mode using maximum and minimum send time and change on delta parameters
