4. Configuring the FieldServer as a Gardner Denver Auto Sentry ES/RS2000
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 Gardner Denver Auto Sentry ES/RS2000 Controller.
1.04 Data Arrays/Descriptors
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data
required. In order to enable the FieldServer for Gardner Denver Auto Sentry
ES/RS2000 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.
