TOPSTrend Open Protocol Server

TOPS

Description

Trend Open Protocol Server (TOPS) is a Windows based software application that runs on a PC to provide the communications between TOPS compatible devices (e.g. 963 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 963 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 potentially the number of points that can be accessed, depending on the driver option used.

Features

▪ Provides communications with BACnet and TONN’s. ▪ Enables the 963 to read values from, or write values to BACnet and TONN’s

▪ Receive alarms from BACnet devices. ▪ Can be installed on same PC as 963 or a PC remote from the TOPS compatible device (963).

▪ Compatible with 963. ▪ Simple web based configuration. ▪ Trend mapping for points can be edited in TOPS. ▪ 963 can learn, view, and collect labels of all the devices (both online and offline) present in the TOPS database. Later, 963 can configure these devices.

▪ System tray icon has been added to provide access to TOPS features.

TOPS learns the structure of the third party network (e.g. BACnet) and the devices on it. These devices and their values are then mapped to virtual Trend devices (TOPS devices) inside TOPS. The TOPS devices are then grouped into Trend Lans, and made available to TOPS compatible devices (e.g. 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.

Alarms from the third party network can be received by the TOPS compatible device.

TOPS Data Sheet

When operating in this mode TOPS devices are able to receive data to, global to and data from IC comms messages from an IQ3/IQ4 controller and reply to data from IC comms with the correct value. This enables values to be transmitted between IQ3/IQ4 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/IQ4 controllers. Lan 22 is the Lan that contains TOPS and consists of two IQ3/IQ4 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.

System Tray icon: The TOPS system tray icon provides access to TOPS features. Right click the TOPS icon for the following options like: License TOPS, Reset TOPS project, Start TOPS, Stop TOPS, TOPS configuration, and View License. ‘TOPS is online’ is also displayed when TOPS is connected.

Reset: TOPS can be reset to operate as a fresh installation. The reset will reset the config.bog file, navfile, histories and alarms.

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 devices on Lan 22 and 23.

Note that the 963 has to have a separate connection to any IQ2 or 3 controllers which may be present

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.

BACNET DRIVER

The TOPS BACnet driver provides the ability for TOPS compatible devices to communicate with devices on a BACnet network. 963 is able to read values from, or write values to the BACnet devices, to receive alarms from those devices, and obtain BACnet Trends.

BACNET DRIVER (continued)

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.

For details of BACnet capabilities with 963 see the ‘963 and TOPS Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement’ (TP201011).

TONN DRIVER

The TOPS TONN driver provides the ability for TOPS compatible devices to communicate with devices on a number of different 3rd party systems with which TONN can communicate. TONN is available with drivers for the following systems as standard:

BACnet IP BACnet MSTP EIB/KNX IP ModbusRTUMasterModbusRTU Slave ModbusTCP Master ModbusTCP Slave MBus SerialMBus IP oBIX SNMP

Additional drivers can also be purchased for the following systems:

Flex Driver over RS-232 or RS-485

Micros Fidelio hotel room booking system

Global Cache Horstmann serial

Helvar serial driver American Automatrics PHP over RS-232 or RS-485

American Automatrics PUP over RS-232 or RS-485

Resol solar water heating controller serial

Protec fire panel serial .

The TONN communicates with the 3rd party systems and retrieves specified values. The TOPS TONN driver reads these values from the TONN and makes them available to TOPS compatible devices as Trend devices. Values can then be displayed, and if appropriate adjusted from the TOPS compatible device in the normal way. The driver does not support BBUF alarms on logs coming from TONNs.

Use of the TONN driver requires a Trend Open Network Node (TONN) to be installed. This must be purchased separately.

The TOPS TONN drivers should be used when there are a high number of 3rd party data points in the TONN that are required at the 963 as it is more cost effective. Alarms can be configured using alarm extension on the required points on the TONN and sending them to TOPS as an alarm recipient.

Where the number of 3rd party data points is low, there is no need for TOPS provided there are enough modules in the IQ device. TONN can send the points to the IQ strategy modules which can be accessed from 963 in the normal way. Alarms and data logging can be configured on the Trend modules linked to the 3rd party point in the normal way.

Communications: It provides a single vCNC connection for use by TOPS compatible Trend devices.

963: 963 v3.00 or greater is TOPS compatible. TONN devices mapped via TOPS require 963 v3.30 or greater. Note that TOPS/TONN does not support BBUF alarms on logs coming from TONNs therefore 963 cannot use BBUF alarms to trigger data recording. Therefore, data recording must be performed at regular intervals.

SET: SET is not a TOPS compatible device but if connected to a system to which TOPS is bound TOPS is displayed in the System View.

TEM: TOPS is compatible with TEM V1 or greater.

INSTALLATIONA step-by-step installation program performs the installation of the TOPS software. After installation the software must be licensed, and configured to operate as required. See the TOPS Installation Instructions (TG201036) for more details.

Data Sheet TOPS

SPECIFICATIONSSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Before installing TOPS you should ensure that the PC meets the system requirements. The specifications below refer to a standard PC with mouse, keyboard, hard drive, CD drive, monitor, and sound capabilities (optional).

Recommended

The following specification provides a minimum environment for running TOPS effectively. For best results and demanding applications a system with greater CPU performance and more memory should be used.

TOPS will run on the following operating systems. The PC must be of a suitable specification to run the required operating system.

Windows 10 Home 32 bitWindows 10 Home 64 bit Windows 10 Pro 32 bitWindows 10 Pro 64 bitWindows 10 Enterprise 32 bitWindows 10 Enterprise 64 bitWindows 8 32 bitWindows 8 64 bitWindows 8 Pro 32 bitWindows 8 Pro 64 bitWindows 8 Enterprise 32 bitWindows 8 Enterprise 64 bitWindows 8.1 32 bitWindows 8.1 64 bitWindows 8.1 Pro 32 bitWindows 8.1 Pro 64 bitWindows 8.1 Enterprise 32 bitWindows 8.1 Enterprise 64 bitWindows 7 32 bitWindows 7 64 bitWindows Vista™ Business SP2 32 bitWindows Server 2008 SP2 32 bit StandardWindows Server 2008 SP2 32 bit EnterpriseWindows Server 2008 SP2 64 bit StandardWindows Server 2008 SP2 64 bit EnterpriseWindows Server 2008 R2Windows Server 2003 SP2 32 bit StandardWindows Server 2003 SP2 32 bit Enterprise

In addition to meeting the requirements for the operating system TOPS requires the following:

▪ 2 GHz or greater processor ▪ 1 GB or greater RAM. ▪ 40 GB or greater hard disk ▪ Ethernet network card

For best results and demanding applications a system with greater CPU performance and more memory should be used. If TOPS and 963 are to be run on a single PC a dual core processor is recommended.

Note: To optimise a PC for best TOPS performance the correct JAVA settings must be used.

Note: TOPS can be used on 32-bit Windows with default heap settings for small to medium installations, though for more intensive use the Java heap settings2 should be increased up to a maximum of 25% of the physical memory in the PC or 800MB whichever the lower, performance may be significantly impacted by other applications running on the same machine. Too high a figure may result in TOPS not starting.

For best results and larger installations install TOPS on 64-bit Windows and use higher Java heap settings2 again less than 25% of physical memory must be used.

Note: TOPS v 3.21 is supported on IE 8, 9, 10, and 11 browsers.

PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS

BACnet Driver

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/IQ4 controllers should be used (i.e. a BACnet XP IQ3/IQ4 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.
