5. Configuring the FieldServer as a Honeywell Zellweger IR-148 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” sample files
provided with the FieldServer).
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer
to report sensor data to Honeywell Zellweger IR-148 Client. As a Server this driver sends Gas
value, Alarm, Trouble and Lock point messages. The driver can be locked to send data for only
one particular sensor.
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required.
In order to enable the FieldServer for Honeywell Zellweger IR-148 communications, the driver
independent FieldServer buffers need to be declared in the “Data Arrays” section, the
FieldServer virtual node(s) needs to be declared in the “Server Side Nodes” section, and the
data to be provided to the Clients 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.
