FieldServer Protocol Driver Sheet

Toshiba UPS
FS-8700-124 Version: 1.02 / Rev. 1.B

DESCRIPTION COMPATIBILITY
The serial TIC UPS driver allows the ProtoNode to FieldServer Model Compatible
transfer data to and from devices over RS-232 using FS-B35 Series Yes
TIC UPS protocol. The ProtoNode can emulate a ProtoNode/ProtoAir Yes
Client. QuickServer FS-QS-10xx No
This driver is intended for use with Toshiba models QuickServer FS-QS-122x Yes
UPS and is implemented to: QuickServer FS-QS-20xx No
QuickServer FS-QS-22xx Yes
• Read information from the UPS such as battery
life, voltages etc. This will be done in user mode
CONNECTION INFORMATION
on the UPS.
Connection Type: RS-232
• Write information and commands such as
Baud Rates: 1200; 2400; 4800; 9600
shutdown commands to the UPS.
Data Bits: 7
• Advanced options such as reading/writing Stop Bits: 1
EEPROM is not supported. No date/time reads or Parity: Even
writes are supported. No string type commands Multidrop Capability: No
are supported.
While the driver has both Server and Client DEVICES TESTED
implementations, the Server is intended for emulation
Tested
and test purposes by FieldServer only. Device

As the Toshiba protocol
only allows for 1:1
Client 1 communication, only 1
Client is allowed per
RS-232 port.
The Server is implemented
for emulation purposes
Server 1
only. It has a static address
as per the Toshiba spec.
