5. Configuring the FieldServer as a Secutron Modul-R driver Server
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 provided with the FieldServer).
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order
to enable the FieldServer for Secutron Modul-R driver communications, the driver independent
FieldServer buffers need to be declared in the “Data Arrays” section, the FieldServer virtual node(s) need
to be declared in the “Server Side Nodes” section, and the data to be provided to the Client needs to be
mapped in the “Server 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.
