EST3 DESCRIPTION
The EST3 External Communications Protocol (ECP) driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from EST devices over RS-232 or RS-485 (with converter) serial ports using the EST3 ECP protocol. In the EST application the FieldServer always emulates a Client. The FieldServer makes use of the following ECP Services: Read Operations: Report Service Delta Service
Write Operations: Command Service
All read points are continually updated using the Report Service; response times are enhanced using Delta Service broadcasts by the EST3 panel.

Connection Notes
There is normally only one interface to an EST3 system, even if multiple panels exist. All data for the entire system is received through this single interface. The interface on the EST3 panel may be COM1 or COM2, but it needs to be configured in the EST3 panel as a gateway. Gateway Type III is recommended. The EST3 panel monitors the quality of communications to the FieldServer and will detect a poor connection. Poor connections are normally caused by inappropriate selection of gateway type, but can also be related to installation quality.

CONFIGURING THE FIELDSERVER AS A EST3 CLIENT
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 communicate with an EST3 Server. The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable the FieldServer for EST3 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 data required from the servers 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

Appendix A. Useful Features
Appendix A.1. PanelMasks:

The 8 PanelMask parameters combine to form a 64-bit field in which each bit denotes an EST panel in the network. Commands that use the PanelMasks are executed by each panel for which the corresponding bit is set. The Map Descriptor need only define non-zero bytes in the PanelMask. Typically this will be EST_Panel_Mask_1 with a value of 1.
Appendix A.2. Setting up Multiple Parameters

The multiple parameters required by a command must be stored in consecutive locations in the Data Array specified by the Map Descriptor, starting at the specified Data_Array_Offset. All parameters must be set up before the EST command is executed. This is done using a Block Write (if supported by the protocol originating the data) All parameters are set up in a single write operation, and the EST command is triggered with all values in place.
Appendix A.3. Priority:

The write priority has the possible values of Set, Latch, Low, Medium, and High. These are encoded as 00h, 01h, 02h, 03h and 04h respectively.
Appendix A.4. Report and Delta Service:

The EST ECP3 Report and Delta services report point status slightly differently. The FieldServer EST3 driver deals with these differences as follows:
Appendix A.4.1.
Report Service (regular polling):
The full 16-bit point status is stored to the Read Map Descriptors Data Array. If optional Data Arrays are configured, then the point status is also interpreted according to its Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory or Monitor status and the corresponding Data Array is updated. See Appendix A.5 for detail.
Appendix A.4.2.
Delta Service (unsolicited messages):
Delta Service messages do not provide the same 16-bit status value as supplied by the Report Service. For this reason, ONLY the optional Data Arrays will be updated when a Delta message is received. Delta messages will therefore only have an effect when optional Data Arrays have been configured. The delta service will be sent out through ECP automatically. There's no panel setting for this. The EST3 panel always sends a delta frame when there is a state change. Refer also to Appendix A.5
Page 13 of 24
Appendix A.4.3.

Note: It is recommended that at least one active Map Descriptor is defined to alert the Driver if the connection fails. As many passive Clients as desired can then be appended. Ports Port P1,

Page 14 of 24
Appendix A.5. Optional Data Arrays

When optional parameters (EST_Alarm_DA, EST_Trouble_DA, EST_Supervisory_DA, or EST_Monitor_DA) are used, the driver automatically separates the Alarm Trouble, Supervisory, and Monitor bit from the incoming EST message and places the bit(s) in these Data Arrays at the same offset as the incoming message. Other types can be stored in EST_Others_DA Data Array. Only one Data type will be reported as active at a particular time; i.e. if Alarm is reported Driver will set Alarm bit and reset corresponding bits from Trouble, Supervisory and Monitor Data Arrays. The Driver does not correlate Other types with Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory or Monitor types. For different point types the active bit has a different meaning. If the user is interested in the meaning, the EST_Supervisory_DA Data Array should be configured. If the user is interested in the raw value of the Active bit, the data array EST_Active_DA should be configured.
Appendix A.5.1.
Relay Confirmation State
The driver can store the relay confirmation state of a point in a Data Array under the parameter EST_Relay_Conf_DA parameter. 0 - Relay state is not confirmed; 1 Relay state confirmed.
Appendix A.5.2.
EST_Types_DA
If it is necessary to override the default Types and Category list (Appendix C.1.1) the EST_Types_DA parameter should be used. Example: To put HEAT type into the Monitor category where all other defaults remain the same, preload the data array as follows: Preloads Data_Array_Name DA_Types
,Preload_Data_Index ,2
,Preload_Data_Value ,4
,Length ,1
Preload_Data_Index is the type of device and Preload_Data_Value holds the category for the specified device type. The legal values for Preload_Data_Value are listed below Alarm Supervisory Trouble Monitor Others Appendix A.5.3. 1 2 3 4 5 EST_Types_Update
If this parameter is not defined or is yes, the driver will update its internal driver list according to the parameters preloaded under EST_Types_DA. If the parameter is set to New List, the driver will use ONLY the parameters defined under EST_Types_DA and will not reference or update the default list at all. The driver will therefore not store any data for types that do not have preloaded categories.

Appendix C.2. EST3 ECP Connection Statistics:

The EST3 ECP protocol has two distinct levels: A poll-response connection is maintained by the EST panel acting as the master. The bytes transferred in this process are displayed on the FieldServer as SCADA bytes transmitted and received. The FieldServer acts as a client by inserting requests into its response messages; the EST panel then inserts the requested data into its subsequent polling messages. The bytes transferred in this process are displayed on the FieldServer as PLC bytes transmitted and received.

Appendix C.3. Driver Error Messages

Error Message Description and Action Required This message will be displayed once if any Map Descriptor in a configuration file has an odd length. Old EST3 Panels (before 2002) simply do not communicate if length is odd. This message can be ignored if it is new EST3 panel. But if it is old or unknown, try changing the Map Descriptor length to an even value before contacting technical support. Numbers of addresses to be read per request are limited. 7 Edit configuration file to set Map Descriptor length within specified range. One Map Descriptor can write only 1 value. Change length to 1 . This message is printed if the FieldServer receives sequences that are not specified. Specified sequences are 1B 82, 1B 8D and 1B 9B. This message is for information only and can be ignored unless the data stored by the FieldServer is invalid in which case, call Tech support.
7
EST3:#01 FYI. For an Old EST3 Panel, Read MD length must be even.
EST3:#02 Err. Read MD length must > 0 and <= %d EST3:#03 Err. Write MD must have length = 1 EST3: #04 Unknown Escape Sequence 1B %02X considered as %02X
Upload the configuration file, make the necessary changes, download to the FieldServer and cycle power to the FieldServer for the changes to take effect.
