Deploying FPM Applications
If you are deploying an FPM application, your FPM application is initialized once it has been uploaded
to the SmartServer. You can skip the rest of this section and follow the subsequent sections in this
chapter to create, commission, connect, and test your FPM application on the SmartServer and create a
custom configuration Web page for your FPM application.
Deploying FPM Drivers
After you upload your FPM driver to the SmartServer and reboot the SmartServer, you can open the
SmartServer Web interface and observe that a channel representing your FPM driver has been added to
the network tree of the target SmartServer. You can expand the FPM driver channel, expand the FPM
driver device (representing the nonnative device connected to the SmartServer’s RS-232 or RS-485
interface), and then expand the virtual functional block to show the data points in your FPM driver.
You can now monitor and control the FPM driver data points using the SmartServer’s built-in
applications and your custom Web pages, and you can connect them to L
ON W ORKS data points using
Web connections and Type Translators. In either case, the SmartServer’s internal data server sends
and receives data point updates to and from the nonnative device via the FPM driver.
