1. Metasys N2 Description
The Metasys N2 network supports communications with a diverse range of devices. Many N2
compatible devices use their own version of the protocol and care must be taken to ensure that
the device of interest is covered by the FieldServer implementation.
At present the FieldServer N2 driver will support communications with the following devices or
device classes when acting as a Client:
1. N2Open-compliant devices. N2Open is a published N2-compatible protocol enabling 3
rd
party device vendors to integrate with N2.
2. VMA 1400 series (with restrictions, as described in this document)
3. DX9100 and XT9100
When acting as a Server, the FieldServer N2 driver can emulate an N2Open device only.
