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 FS-  
8915-28) may be ordered separately.  
If using RS-485 from the node to the FS-  
X2010, 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  
eNote00172 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 9-  
30V, 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  
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-X20XX-  
02 in which case the RS-485 port is  
activated.  
principles apply, and a Crossover cable  
must be used.  
Note that the USB port is not 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

Start-up guide  
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. Operation  
3.1. Install and Run the Utility  
Software  
The FieldServer is shipped with a utility CD-  
ROM containing all the utility software that  
needs to be installed.  
3.3. Connect using “Remote User  
Interface” (RUINET)  
Browse to the Remote User Interface icon in  
the Start menu directory and click on it - the  
RUI menu screen should appear.  
All configuration file transfers and system  
diagnostics are executed via the RUI or  
“Remote User Interface” which is installed  
with the utility software.  
Refer to the FieldServer Utilities manual for  
further information.  
Insert the supplied Utility CD into the PC and  
follow the installation instructions on the  
screen.  
3.4. Use RUINET to change the  
FieldServer IP Address and  
Network  
Once installed, the FieldServer Utilities can  
be located in the Windows Start menu.  
Should it be necessary to change the IP  
address of the FieldServer, this can be done  
via the “I” screen on Ruinet. Refer to the  
FieldServer Utilities manual for details.  
Refer to the FieldServer Utilities manual for  
information on how to connect to the  
FieldServer via serial or Ethernet ports.  
3.5. Upload the Default  
Configuration  
3.2. Use PING to Identify the  
FieldServer on the Network  
NOTE: Refer to the Configuration Manual  
and the Driver Manual(s) provided with the  
FieldServer for further information on  
configuration files.  
Select  
Start|Programs|FieldServer  
Utilities, browse to the Ping Utility and  
select it  
The display should show  
The configuration of the FieldServer is  
provided to the FieldServer’s operating  
system via a comma-delimited file called

“CONFIG.CSV”.  
If ordered with the  
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.  
FieldServer, the custom configuration is  
installed; (Reference documentation FS-  
8790-XX). If a custom configuration is not  
purchased, a template config.csv is loaded  
on the FieldServer to facilitate user  
configuration of the FieldServer.  
The initial default configuration software will  
be loaded on the FieldServer. In the main  
menu of the Remote User Interface screen,  
type “U” to upload the configuration. Then  
type “U” again. The Utility will fetch the  
default configuration and put it into the  
Config File folder which is located in  
(Start|Programs|FieldServerUtilities|Configur  
ation File folder).

Note: Wait until the utility indicates  
that download is complete before  
resetting the FieldServer or you  
could corrupt the FieldServer.  
Once download is complete, type <Esc>  
to get back to the main menu and use  
the "!" option (or simply cycle power to  
the FieldServer) to put the new file into  
operation.  
3.6. Change the Configuration File  
to Meet the Application  
Refer to the Configuration Manual in  
conjunction with the Driver supplements for  
information on configuring the FieldServer.  
Note:  
FieldServer Technologies offers  
training on this topic as well as  
a
configuration service to complete this portion  
specific details.  
Note that it is possible to do multiple  
downloads to the FieldServer before  
resetting it.  
The simulation utility mb8sim.exe can be  
used to test configuration files. This file can  
be found with the latest Utility CD (v.14 and  
higher) or downloaded from the web.  
Instructions on its use can be found in the  
FieldServer Configuration Manual."  
(Firmware created by FieldServer  
Technologies can be downloaded from  
the configuration file by simply typing “F”  
from the download menu.)  
Note that FieldServer usually supplies  
firmware upgrades as an install.zip, for  
which a separate procedure is used, see  
FieldServer utilities Manual for more  
information.  
3.7. Download the Updated  
Configuration File  
Before attempting to send files to the  
FieldServer, ensure that the files are in the  
3.8. Test and commission the  
FieldServer  
configuration file folder.  
Refer to the  
FieldServer Utilities manual for further  
information.  
Connect the FieldServer to the third  
party device(s), and test the application.  
Should you experience problems, refer  
to the Troubleshooting manual which  
can be found in the FieldServer utilities  
directory under Documentation.  
Before contacting FieldServer technical  
support, create a log by using Serial and  
Capture Utility (Ruidebug) to take a  
snapshot or a serial capture log – see  
FieldServer Utilities Manual for more  
information. Send this log together with

transmission.  
This is the power light and should show steady green at all times when the

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.
