NOTIFIER NCA2/NFS2-3030 DESCRIPTION1

The NCA2/NFS2-3030 Serial driver allows the FieldServer to record data from Notifier NCA2 or NFS2-

3030 panels over RS-232 as per NFS2-3030/NCA-2 EIA-232 Protocol & Data Formats 53219 Rev A

1/3/2008. There is no active polling by this driver; the communications are one-way through the panel's

printer or CRT port. The FieldServer acts as a Client; receives messages and records the status of a

Panel. The panel MUST output messages in160 characters ASCII format in English.

This driver is not capable of emulating a Notifier NCA2 or NFS2-3030 panel.

The NCA2 controls all the devices (e.g. 3030, 640 panels) connected on the Notifier network. Each Fire

Alarm Panel on Network is considered as a Node. 240 Nodes can exist on one network. NFS2-3030 can

exist on a network or be self-standing.

NCA2 interacts with other Fire Alarm Panels, records the status of the panels and sends the events to

printer and CRT ports. FieldServer captures these events in text form, parses and stores them in Data

Arrays. These Data Arrays can be monitored by third party tools. Since the FieldServer does not actively

poll for data, the accuracy and timeliness of the stored data is limited to the frequency of update

messages that the Notifier Fire Panel issues.

If a networked panel does not send the 'CLEARED' message for latched points via the NCA2 it is not

possible to detect cleared points unless a system reset is done. It is possible to configure the FieldServer

to clear on reset message from NCA2. See Appendix A.2 for more detail.

Please note that the FieldServer can be configured with a large number of points. The point limits

purchased with the FieldServer prevent the entire database from being accessed in any one application.

It is therefore strongly advisable to ensure that only the point addresses of interest are configured, and

that the FieldServer is purchased with the correct point count.

The types of Notifier messages supported by this driver are summarized in Section 5.1. A detailed table

presented in Appendix C.1 shows each type of NCA2/NFS2-3030 message the FieldServer recognizes

and the effect that it has on the status of the points in the Data Array.

3.1 Hardware Connection Tips / Hints

The FieldServer should preferably be connected to the TB5 Printer port. It is theoretically

possible to connect to the TB5 CRT port, but this has not been fully tested.

The Panel’s port must be enabled and set to 80 Columns Not Supervised.

DATA ARRAY PARAMETERS4

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.

CONFIGURING THE FIELDSERVER AS A NOTIFIER NCA2/NFS2-30305CLIENT

The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order

to enable the FieldServer for Notifier NCA2/NFS2-3030 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 required data from Notifier Panels 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.

For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the FieldServer Configuration

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

receive information from a Notifier Panel.

5.1 Panel Status - Memory Mapping

The primary purpose of this driver is to record the status of devices connected to the Notifier panel by

interpreting the text messages sent to the printer or CRT port. Not all messages will be interpreted, as

many messages do not directly pertain to device status, or are not currently supported. The following

subset of event messages is recognized:

Active Events:

FIRE ALARM

SECURITY ALARM (LIFE)

LIFE CRITICAL ALARM

MEDICAL EMERGENCY

SECURITY ALARM

CRITICAL PROCESS

SUPERVISORY

TROUBLE/ FAULT

DISABLED

PREALARM

ACTIVE

ON/ OFF

This Driver divides the memory into various types. Each location in each memory type is assigned an

address. It is therefore possible to map an address to a particular offset in a Data Array and make it

accessible for reading by other connected devices. The address structure is provided in Table 1.

Most of these addresses will only contain binary information to represent an active or inactive state.

Where multiple troubles are associated with a single device the addressed register corresponding to that

device will be incremented as a counter for each trouble message and decremented when a trouble is

cleared. These addresses should preferably be stored in SINT16 format in the Data Array.
