4 Configuring the FieldServer as a Optomux Driver 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 on the driver diskette).
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the
FieldServer to communicate with an Optomux Device.
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data
required. In order to enable the FieldServer for Optomux Driver 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.
