    Data Terminal Communications Protocol. In this document the protocol is referred to as the McQuay MicroTech® Open Protocol. MicroTech controls are legacy products that may require the use of a FieldServer device in order to support existing applications in need of unit or network controller replacements and/or integration into a Building Automation System (BAS).

    1.2.1 Single standalone MicroTech 200 Series unit controller When a FieldServer device is connected to a single MicroTech unit controller, the FieldServer connects to the “A” port of the MicroTech controller. The unit controller is typically a level 2 device with a Comm Port Configuration of “L2 TTY/Slave”.

    McQuay Micro Tech Open Protocol Driver Manual DRIVER FEATURES When emulating a Client, the driver enables the FieldServer to request ‘Everything’ from the McQuay, allow specific fields to be read or written and apply device scaling to be applied. When emulating a Server, the driver provides an emulation of the byte memory of a device and responds to read and write requests.

    7.3.4 Map Descriptor Example – Strategy 1. This example illustrates the configuration of the FieldServer as a McQuay Micro Tech Open Protocol Server where a single Map Descriptor is used to emulate a McQuay device’s memory as one large single block of bytes. Any requests in the address range 1-0x270F can be serviced by this one Map Descriptor. Is has the drawback that a large Data Array which will be mostly empty is used.
