These tools run entirely on your machine. Configuration files you drop in are parsed in the browser and never leave it, and the diagnostic tools talk to a serial adapter directly rather than through a server. Everything here is free to use.
If a tool does not cover your case — a protocol that is not listed, a multi-device configuration, a panel export we do not parse yet — talk to an engineer. We build these because support cases keep asking for them, so the gaps you hit are worth telling us about.
Configuration generators
Turn a device or panel export into a gateway configuration you can load without hand-editing.
LonWorks XIF → QuickServer converter
Turn a LonWorks XIF device-interface file into a FieldServer QuickServer configuration CSV, with the LonWorks client side and a BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP server side generated for you.
Siemens SBT-FSI (XLS) XML → QuickServer converter
Drop a Siemens XLS panel-database XML export and get an FS-8700-40 SBT-FSI configuration CSV serving Modbus/TCP and BACnet/IP at once, with per-card selection of which alarm categories are served.
Field diagnostics
Talk to real hardware from the browser over a USB serial adapter. Requires a Chromium-based browser (Chrome or Edge) for Web Serial support — Firefox and Safari do not implement it.
Modbus RTU Explorer
A diagnostic bench for Modbus RTU over a serial port. Send any of the eight standard requests and read the answer back as every data type at once, so you can see whether a register really is a Float32 and in which byte order.
TLS-350 Explorer
Read a tank-gauge console through a serial adapter and produce a report you can send to Chipkin support. Works with Veeder-Root TLS-350, OPW SiteSentinel, and other consoles speaking the same protocol. Read-only — it cannot change a setting, clear an alarm, or start a test.
McQuay MicroTech Explorer
Find every McQuay / Daikin MicroTech Open Protocol controller on an RS-485 trunk, identify each one by its software IDENT, read every point, and generate a ready-to-load QuickServer configuration for BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU. Controllers whose password you do not have are still reported, so you get an accurate inventory without the site password. A whole site can be captured to a JSON file on-site and turned into a configuration later. Read-only.
Companion pages
Simulators and reference pages that ship with a tool. Start from the tool itself unless you know you need one of these.
- Modbus RTU Simulator Modbus RTU Explorer
Answer requests as a Modbus slave, to exercise the Explorer without a device on the bench.
- TLS-350 Console Simulator TLS-350 Explorer
Stand in for a tank-gauge console so the Explorer can be tried without hardware.
