4. Configuring the FieldServer as a DeviceNet Slave
For a etaile iscussion on Fiel Server configuration, please refer to the Fiel Server
Configuration Manual. The information that follows escribes how to expan upon the factory
efaults provi e in the configuration files inclu e with the Fiel Server (See “.csv” files
provi e with the Fiel Server).
This section ocuments an escribes the parameters necessary for configuring the Fiel Server
to communicate with a DeviceNet Master/Scanner.
The configuration file tells the Fiel Server about its interfaces, an the routing of ata require .
In or er to enable the Fiel Server for DeviceNet communications, the river in epen ent
Fiel Server buffers nee to be eclare in the “Data Arrays” section, the Fiel Server virtual
no e(s) nee s to be eclare in the “Server Si e No es” section, an the ata to be provi e to
the clients nee s to be mappe in the “Server Si e Map Descriptors” section. Details on how to
o this can be foun below.
Note that in the tables, * in icates an optional parameter, with the bol legal value being the
efault.
