1INTRODUCTION
This document describes the installation and operation of the ProtoCessor FPC-FD2; FPC-F03 and FPC-F04 protocol
gateway solutions and the FPC-C01 and FPC-CD2 ProtoCarrier boards.
ProtoCarrier boards can be powered from a fixed 5V DC supply or a 9V - 30V AC/DC. The input voltage is rectified
and regulated to meet the requirements of the ProtoCessor devices.
The ProtoCarrier-232 FPC-C01 board provides a serial port interface to the TTL socket serial port provided on the
ProtoCessor. The board allows easy connection to the serial ports using a DB-9 connector, connected as a DTE
(Data Terminal Equipment) so that it may be connected to DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device e.g. a
modem. Full serial status indication is provided with LED’s.
The ProtoCarrier-485 FPC-CD2 board provides an RS-485 interface to the TTL socket serial port provided on the
ProtoCessor. The board uses a screw terminal connection.
1.1 BTL Mark –BACnet Testing Laboratory
The BTL mark is a symbol that indicates to a consumer that a product has passed a
series of rigorous tests conducted by an independent laboratory which verifies that the
product correctly implements the BACnet features claimed in the listing. The mark is a
symbol of a high-quality BACnet product. For more information about the BACnet
Testing Laboratory go to: http://www.bacnetinternational.net/btl/.
The ProtoCessor FFP-485 (FPC-FD2) and the ProtoCarrier-485 (FPC-CD2) board are BTL certified and carry the BTL
certification Logo
When selling the modules separately to OEM customers, we use the same ProtoCessor and BTL certified code that
is used in the ProtoCarrier. BTL has provided a procedure for OEM’s using the ProtoCessor FFP-485 to easily
submit their product for BTL certification (with minimal testing).

3USING THE PROTOCARRIER SOLUTION
The ProtoCarrier solution is recommended in cases where it is not possible to include a ProtoCessor socket on the
OEM board. A ProtoCarrier RS-485 or RS-232 card can be attached to the OEM’s existing hardware (Width=2.2 in.
Length=4.2 in.). The ProtoCarrier includes a serial port to connect to the OEM’s Host or Field port. The
ProtoCessor socket on the ProtoCarrier can accept any ProtoCessor.
ProtoCarrier can connect to the OEM’s RS-232 or RS-485 or Ethernet port and translate to any Serial,
Ethernet or LonWorks protocols.
Supports 5VDC or 9-30VAC/VDC.
3.1 ProtoCarrier 232 (FPC-C01)
The ProtoCarrier-232 FPC-C01 board is a carrier board for ProtoCessor devices providing a serial port interface to
the TTL socket serial port provided on the ProtoCessor. The board allows easy connection to the serial ports using
a DB-9 connector, connected as a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) so that it may be connected to DCE (Data
Communication Equipment) device e.g. OEM’s Serial RS-232 device. Full serial status indication is provided with
LED’s.
The board can be powered from a fixed 5V DC supply or a 9V - 30V AC/DC. The input voltage is rectified and
regulated to meet the requirements of the ProtoCessor devices.

3.2 ProtoCarrier 485 (FPC-CD2)
The ProtoCarrier-485 board is a carrier board for ProtoCessor devices providing a RS-485 interface to the TTL
socket serial port provided on the ProtoCessor. The board can be powered from a fixed 5V DC supply or a 9V - 30V
AC/DC. The input voltage is rectified and regulated to meet the requirements of the ProtoCessor devices.

4DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
The DIP switches on the FPC-FD2 and FPC-CD2 allow users to set the Baud Rate, Node-ID, and MAC address on the
Field RS-485 protocol as well as to automatically download configuration files for certain protocols. They can be
enabled on request before the unit ships from the FieldServer’s factory or in the field by editing the configuration
file. (Refer to the ProtoCessor Configuration Manual).
If the FPC-FD2 is used with the FPC-CD2, the DIP switches on the FPC-CD2 must be used. The switches
on the FPC-FD2 are disabled.
The DIP switch settings are the same for FPC-FD2 and FPC-CD2

7CONFIGURING THE PROTOCESSOR
7.1 Retrieve the Sample Configuration File
The configuration of the ProtoCessor is provided to the ProtoCessor’s operating system via a comma-delimited file
called “CONFIG.CSV”.
If a custom configuration was ordered, the ProtoCessor will be programmed with the relevant device registers in
the Config.csv file for the first time start-up. If not, the product is shipped with a sample config.csv that shows an
example of the drivers ordered.
In the main menu of the FS-GUI screen, go to Setup, File Transfer, Retrieve.
Click on config.csv, and open or save the file
7.2 Change the Configuration File to Meet the Application
Refer to the ProtoCessor Configuration Manual in conjunction with the Driver supplements for information on
configuring the ProtoCessor.

8LED INTERPRETATION
8.1 Power up process of Pro toCessors’ LED’s
8.1.1 FPC-FD2
Light
Description
PWR
This is the power light and should show steady green at all times when the FPC-FD2 is powered.
SYS ERR
The SYS ERR LED will go on solid 15 seconds after power up. It will turn off after 5 seconds. A steady red
light will indicate there is a system error on the ProtoCessor. If this occurs, immediately report the related
“system error” shown in the error screen of the RUI interface to FieldServer Technologies for evaluation.
COMM
ERR
COMM ERR LED will go on solid 15 seconds after power up. It will turn off after 5 seconds. A steady red
light will indicate the communications problem if there is a configured node connected to the ProtoCessor
that is offline. To establish the cause of the error, go to the error screen of the RUI interface.
Config
ERR
Config ERR LED will go on solid 15 seconds after power up. It will turn off after 5 seconds. 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.
Node
Offline
Node Offline LED will go on solid 15 seconds after power up. It will turn off after 5 seconds. If the Node
Offline LED stays on solid, a node offline condition has occurred.
Unused
