Trend Open Protocol Server

Description

The Trend Open Protocol Server (TOPS) is a Windows based software application that runs on a PC to provide the communications between the TOPS compatible devices (e.g963 v3.00 or greater) on the Trend IQ network and third party devices (e.g. BACnet devices).

TOPS can be installed on the same PC as the TOPS compatible device or on a different PC provided the device can access the TOPS PC over IP.

The licence to run TOPS also determines which third party networks TOPS is able to communicate with (e.g. BACnet) and the number of points that can be accessed

Features

Provides communications with BACnet devices. ▪Enable the 963 to read values from, or write values to BACnet ▪devices, and receive alarms from the BACnet devices.Can be installed on same PC or a PC remote from the TOPS ▪compatible device.Compatible with 963. ▪Simple web based configuration. ▪

FuncTiOnaliTyTOPS learns the structure of the third party network (e.g. BACnet) and the devices on it. These devices and their values are then presented to the TOPS compatible device (963) using Trend addressing, making them appear to the TOPS compatible device as Trend devices. Values can then be displayed, and if appropriate adjusted from the TOPS compatible device in the normal way.

TOPS devices with Trend addresses are linked to each device on the 3rd party system. The TOPS devices are then grouped into Trend Lans.

TOPS Data Sheet

Bound Mode: When operating in bound mode TOPS joins with the IQ network to which it is connected to form one large network including the TOPS Lans and devices. Connection to TOPS can be via any vCNC on the network although it is recommended that connection be made using the TOPS vCNC. The device connected to the vCNC will have access to the 3rd party system(s) via the TOPS Lans and TOPS devices inside TOPS linked to the 3rd party devices, and all the devices on the Trend IQ network.

When operating in this mode TOPS devices are able to receive data to, global to and data from IC comms messages from an IQ3 controller and reply to data from IC comms with the correct value. This enables values to be transmitted between IQ3 controllers, and the 3rd party devices using IC comms.

In the diagram above the TOPS is operating in bound mode and forms an internetwork with other Trend devices on the Ethernet network forming an IQ system consisting of Lan 20, Lan 21, Lan 22, and Lan 23. Lans 20 and 21 are normal Lans consisting of IQ3 controllers. Lan 22 is the Lan that contains TOPS and consists of two IQ3 controllers, TOPS itself, and the vCNC inside TOPS. Lan 23 is a Lan of TOPS devices. The 963 connects over Ethernet to the TOPS vCNC and is able to access all the Lans.

Configuration:  TOPS configuration is carried out using a number of web pages that lead you through the configuration process.

FuncTiOnaliTy (continued)

TOPS can operate in one of two modes:

StandaloneBound

Standalone mode: When operating in standalone mode connection to TOPS is via its vCNC. The device connected to the vCNC will have access to the 3rd party system(s) via the TOPS Lans and TOPS devices inside TOPS linked to the 3rd party devices.

The diagram above shows TOPS operating in standalone mode. There are two Lans, Lan 22, and Lan 23 joined by an internetwork. Lan 22 is the Lan that contains TOPS and consists of TOPS itself, the vCNC inside TOPS, and a vINC. Lan 23 is a Lan of TOPS devices. The entire system is built inside TOPS. The 963 connects over Ethernet to the TOPS vCNC and is able to access all the Lan 22 and 23.

Bacnet alarms963 can receive BACnet alarms from BACnet alarm notification classes that TOPS has subscribed to. The BACnet alarms are converted to Trend alarms by TOPS and passed to 963. Sensor HIGH, sensor LOW, sensor READ, driver SDGT, plot BBUF, digital input alarms are calculated using the EVENT TYPE property, and the TO Event state according to the table below. Other alarms are assigned alarm codes by 963 see the 963 Engineering Manual for details.

SPEciFicaTiOnSPERFORMancE liMiTaTiOnS

For single TOPS driver installations, the maximum number of devices and points is limited by the licence details.

For multiple TOPS driver installations, the maximum number of devices and or points will need to be lowered for the minimum specification machine. To achieve maximum capacities then machine performance must be increased by the minimum specification amount per driver used, or another machine should be used for that driver.

In addition to this there are maximum limits for the following point types for a whole TOPS configuration.

Plot modules 1000Time zones 500

If there is a requirement to transfer information from a Trend system to a third party system using IC Comms the direct third party IC Comms features in the IQ3 controllers should be used (i.e. a BACnet IQ3 to a third party BACnet device). However in the case where this is not supported TOPS has limited IC Comms capabilities that enable the transfer of data between supported systems. In this case where TOPS is involved in transferring IC Comms data from IQ controllers through to a third party system the following limits should be observed.

Directed IC Comms connections 25or a single global to directed to a single Lan

Any one of the above maxima when used in isolation is acceptable; however a reduction in performance will be experienced when combinations of maximums are used. Actual performance will need to be assessed by the user in each case. Improvement in performance can be achieved by increasing the specification of the machine, or if necessary running a further copy of TOPS on another machine.
