4. Configuring the FieldServer as a GE-SRTP Driver Client
For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the instruction manual for the
FieldServer. 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 a GE-SRTP Driver Server.
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In
order to enable the FieldServer for GE-SRTP 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.
