CONFIGURING THE FIELDSERVER AS A FINS SERVER 5
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” files on the driver CD).
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer to communicate
with a FINS Client.
As a Server, the Driver responses to read requests and updates the FieldServer Data Arrays with write requests
from the Client.
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable
the FieldServer for FINS 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 client’s 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.
