4.3. Client Side Node Descriptors
Section Title
Nodes
Column Title Function Legal Values
Node_Name Provide name for node Up to 32 alphanumeric characters
Node_ID
This parameter only has meaning
for this driver when multiple
panels are networked in an FCI
network. In this case the
NODE_ID is the panel number.
Set the Node_ID of the local panel
to zero, and create one node
descriptor for each panel setting
the Node_ID to the panel number.
The protocol is node-less - the
messages do not contain
information identifying a unique
source and/or destination node
address. Thus this parameter need
not be specified if only one 7100 is
connected per FieldServer serial
port. In networked configurations,
specify whole numbers 0,1,2,3 …
Protocol Specify protocol used
FCI_7100, FCI_7100_series,
FCI7100
FCI_Reset_Acti
on_Option*
Only required for networked
configurations.
This parameter tells the driver
what to do with ‘Reset’ messages.
When not specified or set to
‘Reset_by_any_Node ‘ then the
driver will reset the data array
points associated with the given
node irrespective of the reset
message’s origin.
When set to
‘Reset_by_this_Node_Only’ then
the driver only resets the data
associated with the given node if
the reset originated from the same
node.
Reset_by_any_Node,
Reset_by_this_Node_Only

connected to the FieldServer
