FLN Device Types Supported
Each controller can support only one type of FLN device.
With Firmware Revision 3.3.1 and earlier, only MS/TP and P1 FLN network types
are supported.
With Firmware Revision 3.4 and later, the following FLN network types are
supported:
Local MS/TP FLN (MS/TP): RS-485 network, which is built into the controller.
Depending on the hardware type, a Primary Local MS/TP FLN and/or a
Secondary Local MS/TP FLN may be defined on each field panel. For more
information on the primary and secondary FLN ports, see the
Using the Panel
Configuration Editor
[➙ 214] section.
Routed MS/TP FLN (MS/TP Routed): RS-485 network, which resides on a
different field panel or on an IP-to-MS/TP router device. Many Routed MS/TP
FLN networks may be defined on each field panel.
BACnet network IP FLN (IP): Ethernet (BACnet/IP) network to which the field
panels are connected. Only one IP FLN may be defined on each field panel.
Integration driver FLN (INT): RS-485 network, which is built into the controller,
or Ethernet/IP network to which the Integration driver panel is connected.
Depending on the driver type, many Integration FLN networks may be defined
on each field panel.
P1 FLN (P1): RS-485 network, which is built into the controller. Depending
on the hardware type, one, two, or three P1 FLN networks may be defined
on each field panel.
When you create a new FLN device, the field panel is queried regarding the type of
FLN device supported, and the Web Server generates the appropriate FLN Device
Editor window. For more information, see the
User Interface Description for the FLN
Device Editor Panes
[➙ 162] section.
