WS3000 TABS Description  
The Serial WS3000 TABS driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices  
over either RS-232 or RS-422 using WS3000 TABS protocol. The FieldServer can emulate  
either a Server or Client.  
The WS3000 TABS driver is set up for Alarm Surveillance and Control. The protocol works over  
a multidrop RS-422 line or over a RS-232 line and allows only one master and up to 32 slaves  
on a serial channel. Slaves are assigned station addresses that range from 0 to 31. The master  
does not have a station address. The protocol is strictly command/response with the master  
polling the slave devices. Each slave can be configured to hold the data for one to 256  
displays. Each display contains 64 alarms status points represented by bits.  
This driver only supports short addressing mode, thus allowing for a maximum of 256 displays  
per tabs device.  
The Server driver fully supports the processing of the following AS&C Remote Control  
Commands:  
Type 0, 1, 2, 128-255  
The Client driver supports the sending of AS&C Remote Control Commands (writes).

Configuring the FieldServer as a WS3000 TABS Client  
For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the FieldServer  
Configuration Manual. The information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory  
defaults provided in the configuration files included with the FieldServer (See “.csv” files  
provided with the FieldServer).  
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer  
to communicate with a WS3000 TABS Server. The configuration file tells the FieldServer about  
its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable the FieldServer for WS3000  
TABS communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to be declared in the  
“Data Arrays” section, the destination device addresses need to be declared in the “Client Side  
Nodes” section, and the data required from the Servers needs to be mapped in the “Client Side  
Map Descriptors” section. Details on how to do this can be found below.  
Note that in the tables, * indicates an optional parameter, with the bold legal value being the  
default.

There are 8 bytes per display allowed. Eight bytes will represent the 64 points per display.  
A maximum of 256 displays per slave gives 2048 bytes per slave.
