4. Configuring the FieldServer as a Notifier AM6000 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 Notifier AM6000 Server.
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order
to enable the FieldServer for Notifier AM6000 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.
