What FieldServer Is
FieldServer is a protocol conversion gateway platform used to bridge building and industrial protocols. FieldServer supports a broad range of protocols — including legacy and specialty protocols not yet available on QuickServer.
FieldServer vs QuickServer
| Aspect | FieldServer | QuickServer |

| Generation | Legacy + specialty | Current |
| Protocol breadth | Widest — includes niche protocols | Growing — covers common protocols |
| Configuration | CSV-based | Web UI + CSV |
