Cheetah Device Description
The Cheetah Protocol driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over
either RS-232 or RS-485 using the Cheetah device protocol. The Cheetah system provides fire
The driver is also able to be used with the newer Fike XI panel.
The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client but it should be noted that it can only
process unsolicited messages from the Cheetah devices. Thus, it does not provide an active
Client driver. It is best to consider this driver as a consumer only driver with the data being
produced by a Cheetah controller.
The driver supports messages sent from the Cybercat panel. Specifically, the driver supports
message 1.02 which reports panel, zone and device states.

Configuring the FieldServer as a Cheetah Device 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” sample
files provided with the FieldServer)
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer
to communicate with a Cheetah Device Server.
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required.
In order to enable the FieldServer for Cheetah Device 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.

Define one or more Map Descriptors to
store data from the 0-127 addressable
devices. Each Map Descriptor must have
the Cheet_Zone set to None.
Devices belong to one of 4 possible loops.
Thus when you set Cheet_Device to All or
None, All, 0-127
to a specific device number you must also
set the Cheet_Loop number to a value
from 1 to 4.
Cheet_Device

Map Descriptor Examples
The driver processes messages from the panel that relay the panel’s current status as well
as new history events. These messages contain composite data and the contents cannot
simply be stored in a Data Array and then be read by some downstream device.
The Map Descriptors tell the driver how to store portions of this composite data from the
following categories. At least one Map Descriptor is required for each category.
1. Zone Status
The driver can store the state (trouble, alarm, pre-alarm...) of each zone in a separate array
as a 1 or zero state. See examples 1 & 2. The driver can also store a number in a separate
Data Array to indicate normal or abnormal state of each zone. (The value of the number
indicates the states.) See example 3.
2. Device Status
The driver can store the state (trouble, alarm, pre-alarm...) of each device in a separate
array as a bit state (1 or 0) . See examples 4 & 5
The driver can also store a number in a separate Data Array to indicate normal or abnormal
state of each device. See example 6
3. Panel Information

FS-8700-48 Fike Cheetah Manual
Page 14 of 36
Information over and above the device and zone states is available such as the number of
events in alarm state, whether the alarm is silent or on … This data is stored in consecutive
array locations. Appendix A.5 of this manual maps the layout of this data. See example 7
4. History Events
Every time the panel sees an event it will place in its own history buffer it transmits a
message. This driver processes the message and stores the event code (most recent) in a
location based on the source device’s address. This gives an array of the most recent
events for all devices. See example 8
The driver can also store the entire history event record in a Data Array. Appendix A.4 maps
the layout of this data. This record includes data such as the time and date. See examples
9 & 10
5. Acknowledging Alarms
There are significant limitations on the driver’s ability to send alarm acknowledgements to
the panel. Refer to Appendix A.6 this manual for more information. See example 11 for a
Map Descriptor which can be used to get the driver to acknowledge alarms.

Configuring the FieldServer as a Cheetah Device Server
This driver cannot act as a data Server, i.e. it cannot write data to the Cheetah controller or
devices. Thus it cannot be used to acknowledge alarms or reset states.

Appendix A. Driver Notes
Appendix A.1. Driver Scope
This driver has implemented cheetah command #6.0. These messages are produced by a
Cheetah device controller and are consumed by this driver. The driver has no control on the
frequency of the messages and thus cannot guarantee fresh data. In addition the protocol
has no method for acknowledging messages so that in the event of this driver having to
discard a corrupt message, the message producer does not know and will not re-send.
Appendix A.2. Map Descriptor Specific Errors
Some errors produced by the driver are Map Descriptor specific. They can only be seen
when using the Ruidebug program and looking at the Map Descriptor debugging screens.
For more information on how to do this please refer to the FieldServer Utilities manual.
Appendix A.3. Multiple Cheetah Panels
Some of the broadcast messages produced by the Cheetah panel are node-less. This
means that these messages do not identify the node of origin. Unfortunately, the message
this driver uses to determine zone and device alarms is a node-less message. This limits
the number of Cheetah panels per port to one. (If there were more than one the driver would
not be able to determine the node of origin.)
Appendix A.4. How History Events are Stored
History events records are send by the panel each time an event occurs. The driver can
parse these messages and store the data in either of two ways.
•
•
The first method stores the event code at an array location that is based on the device
address and loop number. See Map Descriptor example 8
The second method stores a large number of additional event data such as the time &
date in a secondary Data Array. See Map Descriptor example 9
The array locations of the additional data are indicated below

Appendix A.6. Acknowledging Alarms
This driver can be used to acknowledge alarms, reset or silence the Cheetah panel.
This functionality is limited. For this function to operate the Cheetah panel must be
configured to supervise the port that the FieldServer is connected to. In addition to enabling
this function, port supervision means that the panel will go into alarm if the FieldServer does
not respond to the supervision messages. In fact the request to ack /reset/ silence the panel
is included in the driver’s response to the supervision poll from the panel. The panel ignores
unsolicited messages. A consequence of this is that the driver cannot control the timing of
when the ack /reset/ silence message is sent to the panel.
In using this functionality you should also understand that the Cheetah panel protocol does
not acknowledge message receipt so this driver cannot report whether the message was
received by the panel and whether it was acted on.
The port supervision response message is sent even if you do not define a Port Response
Map Descriptor in the CSV file. In this case the command data will always be zero. Once
you define a Map Descriptor then the driver uses one Data Array element to determine the
command data to send to the panel. The value from this array element determines the
action the panel will take.

Example: If you wish to Silence the Panel, then set the value of the Data Array element to 2.
Appendix A.7. Panel Firmware Versions
The driver supports older versions of panel firmware which transmit a shorter version of the
Panel Status command. This shorter version contains only panel data whereas the newer
version contains panel, zone & device data.

Error Message
Action Required
The Data Array associated with the Map Descriptor in question is too
short. Adjust the length as required by the error message. Note that the
error may be repeated for a single Map Descriptor when a new zone or
device is stored because the storage location may be based on the
zone or device number. Generally for zone storage the array must have
at least 240 locations (and 128 for older Cheetah firmware.)5
The Map Descriptor length must be sufficient to store all the data. The
maximum device number is 255 and the maximum zone number is 255,
therefore to store all zones and devices the MD's must be 256 elements
long. Some legacy panels and message don’t support the full number
of devices/zones. For example some panels only support 241 zones.
Try and determine the correct length otherwise please use 256. If you
are unsure ask tech support to provide the template file server.csv
An internal diagnostic has been activated. This should not happen on a
live system. Take a log and contact tech support

Messages are expected to begin with a Carriage return or SOH (0x01).
The message has been rejected because it starts with the reported byte.
Perhaps the vendor has changed firmware. If this error occurs
repeatedly then take a log and contact tech support. If it occurs rarely
then assume it is noise and ignore it if you are satisfied you are getting
good data updates.

Appendix B.1. Driver Stats
Page 36 of 36
Cheetah panels produce data messages for slave devices to consume. The type and
frequency of the messages depends on the Cheetah firmware revision.
The driver counts all incoming messages of interest as the PLC_READ_MSG_RECD
statistic. Other legal messages which do not contain the data this driver is interested in are
discarded and are counted as the MSG_IGNORED statistic.
The PLC_READ_MSG_RECD statistic is incremented once by each Map Descriptor which
extracts data from an incoming message. Thus, one incoming message and three
associated Map Descriptors would cause the statistic to increase by three (when viewed
from the connection's point of view.)
The driver ignores messages 0x0100 from Cybercat panels. These lagacy messages
contain contradictory information. If the node is configured as a Cybercat panel then the
driver ignores the messages and increases the Ignored Messages stat on the connection.
