Protocol Coprocessor by FieldServer Technologies

The ProtoCessor Protocol Coprocessor includes FieldServer Firmware (FieldServer Protocol Engine), along with user selected protocols installed.

The ProtoCessor family of Protocol Coprocessors provides developers with a simple, rapid and cost effective method of adding one or more of the following highly complex, contemporary Serial protocols to existing and future embedded controllers.

The ProtoCessor Protocol Coprocessor uses the FieldServer Firmware (FieldServer Protocol Engine), to provide any of the following protocols.

    • Metasys N2
    • Modbus RTU
    • BACnet MSTP
    • DNP 3.0

Custom Protocols and protocols for many fire alarm panels, boiler controls, HVAC controls, etc

    • Opto-22
    • JBus
    • Allen Bradley DF1
    • GE-SNP

Applications for include Building Automation, Process Control, Remote Site Monitoring, Utility Monitoring and Control, Transportation and Materials Handling.
