to the connection adapter provided with the
FieldServer or the Driver Kit. Then plug the
connection adapter to the node.

2.2. Mounting
The FS-X20 Series FieldServer is supplied
with an accessory bag which allows
selection of adhesive feet (for standing on a
shelf) or mounting plates for wall or panel
mount. A DIN Rail Mounting Kit (P/N FS8915-28) may be ordered separately.

If using RS-485 from the node to the FSX2010, the + and - wire connections can be
used on the RS-485 port on the FieldServer.
®
For the FS-X2011, LonWorks enabled
modules, the orange port is the TP/FT-10
connection, and the RS-485 connection
needs to be made via the serial RJ-45 port.
To change between RS-232 and RS-485
connection, it is necessary to modify
jumpers on the internal board. Refer to
2
eNote0017 for further information.

2.3. Wiring
The 110VAC to 9VDC or 24VDC/ power
supply received with the unit needs to be
plugged into a power source and then
connected to the back of the FieldServer
using the SPA59136 connector. This power
supply is designed to temporarily provide the
9-24V 100mA required by the FieldServer
during testing and start-up. Permanent 930V, 100mA power will need to be provided
for continuous operation.

Ethernet
connections
simply
require
connection of a standard Cat5 UTP Ethernet
cable with an RJ45 connector between the
FieldServer and the network. Note that
when connecting the FieldServer directly to
another Ethernet enabled device without
using a hub, then standard Ethernet
principles apply, and a Crossover cable
must be used.

The FS-X20 Series FieldServer is shipped
as either a FS-X20XX-01 in which case the
RS-232 port is activated, or as a FS-X20XX02 in which case the RS-485 port is
activated.
If using an RS-232 RJ45 Serial connection
then use one of the RJ45 cables to connect
from the appropriate port on the FieldServer

Page 3

Note that the USB port is not activated.

•

•

Page 8

Select
Start|Programs|FieldServer
Utilities, browse to the Ping Utility and
select it
The display should show
FieldServer Name
IP Number (192.168.2.X)
FieldServer Version
If it does not (even after repeated
attempts) then either the network
cabling is incorrect or the computer
network card is faulty or incorrectly
configured.
Check the Ethernet Link OK LED
displayed on the FieldServer. This LED
will be lit if the 10/100BaseT cable is
good. (Refer to Appendix B)
Check the “Activity” LED on the Ethernet
connection (see Figure 2-3), this should
flash at least once every 2 seconds if
RUI is still running, and perhaps more
often, depending on network traffic.
(Refer to Appendix B)
Check that the IP netmask of the PC
matches the FieldServer. This means
the first three sections of both IP
addresses match.

•

•

Confirm that there is an Ethernet
adapter installed in the PC’s Device
Manager List, and that it is configured to
run the TCP/IP protocol.
If using Windows XP, ensure that the
firewall is disabled.

3.3. Connect using “Remote User

This light relates to the Ethernet network port provided on the FieldServer. The
Ethernet Link OK light shows steady green when the physical connection to the
network hub is healthy. The Rx (Receive) light flashes green when the FieldServer
is receiving data from the network. The frequency of flashing is directly related to the
network activity. It does not necessarily mean data is being received by the
FieldServer. The Tx (Transmit) light flashes yellow when the FieldServer is sending
data. The frequency of flashing is directly proportional to the frequency of data
transmission.
This is the power light and should show steady green at all times when the
FieldServer is powered.
This light should show steady green when the Fieldbus connection is active.
The light should flash green once per second once the FieldServer has booted up.
Note that it may take a while from power up to booting up the FieldServer if the
loaded configuration is particularly large. The light indicates that the FieldServer
firmware is running.
A steady amber light will indicate a configuration error exists in the active
configuration. See the Error Screen in the Remote User Interface for a description of
the configuration error.
A steady red light will indicate the communications problem if there is a configured
node connected to the FieldServer that is offline. To establish the cause of the error,
go to the error screen of the RUI interface.
Not applicable
An amber light will flash when a configured node on the FieldServer is detected as
being offline. The flash will repeat after every unsuccessful retry.
A steady red light will indicate there is a system error on the FieldServer. If this
occurs, immediately report the related “system error” shown in the error screen of the
RUI interface to FieldServer Technologies for evaluation.
These lights, built into the connector, are related to the RS-232 serial port provided
on the FieldServer. The Rx (Receive) light flashes green when the FieldServer is
receiving data and the Tx (Transmit) light flashes yellow when the FieldServer is
sending data. The frequency of flashing is directly proportional to the frequency of
data transfer.
