FS-8700-83 Gamewell Page 1 of 24 1. Gamewell Serial Driver Description The Gamewell Serial Driver allows the FieldServer to accept messages generated by a Gamewell 600 Series Panel as well as ‘Smartnet Data Stream’ messages generated by a Gamewell Smartnet terminal. All Gamewell 600 Series Fire Alarm panels are equipped with a serial port, which produces panel, circuit or device status messages. This driver is designed to process these messages and store this status informat

FS-8700-83 Gamewell Page 8 of 24 Map Descriptor Example 1 – Store data from incoming messages. This example illustrates typical map descriptor uses to store data from panel generated messaged. As all these map descriptors have their Clear_On_Reset field set to yes, when a panel reset message is received all the data in the controlled arrays will be set to zero When a point reports its own state as normal the driver will set the appropriate element of the appropriate array to zero

FS-8700-83 Gamewell Page 9 of 24 Map Descriptor Example 2 – Send a Reset / Ack / Silence Command. This example illustrates three map descriptors used to send commands to the panel. These are the only active map descriptors that can be used with the Gamewell Serial Driver. st These map descriptors use the WRBX function. When the 1 element (because Data_Array_Offset = 0 ) has its value updated, even if the value doesn’t change, then the driver will send the command to the panel.

This has been developed to allows for automated testing and Quality Assurance. It is not supported or documented however, at a client’s request it can be extended & documented (typically at an additional cost.) 6.

The state reported is filtered and must match the Data_Type for the associated array to be updated. For example, if the Data_Type of a MapDesc is ‘Alarms’ and a message is received that reports a Fault then the map descriptor will not be used to store the data from the message. 3. Normally, user’s are interested in the Status of

FS-8700-83 Gamewell Page 16 of 24 6.6 Advanced Map Descriptor Examples Example 1 : Filtering Data You can direct the driver to filter the incoming messages so that data arrays are only updated for particular states. For example an incoming messge which reports a device in Ckt 1 to be in a FAULT state (Status:FAULT) will use the map descriptor ‘Ckt1_data03’ to store the data and the array DA_FAULTS1 will be updated. If however, the message reported an ALARM state (Status:ALARM) then

FS-8700-83 Gamewell Page 17 of 24 Example 2 : Action Numbers You can have the driver store a value corresponding to the contents of the action field reported in the incoming messages. Actions are brief descriptions of the event that caused the message to be generated. A table of values vs. descriptions is provided in section 6.5. The driver stores the most recent action number, overwriting the previously stored action numbers. The driver does not keep an event log. The action nu

FS-8700-83 Gamewell Page 18 of 24 Example 3 : Action Bits Instead of having the driver store a value to indicate the action, the driver can set a bit, whose offset indicates the underlying action. For example, if the string ‘Fire Alarm in’ is contained in the action field of the message the driver would set the array element at offset 11 (use table 6.5 to get the value vs. string) to 1. Important to note is that the driver does not clear a previously set bit when a new action i
