1 FST OPC SERVER FOR FIELDSERVERS DESCRIPTION
This OPC Server (I/O Driver) communicates with the FieldServer. The method of data transfer is called Data Array
Access (DAA). The Data Arrays are arrays of typed data memory in the FieldServer. The source of the information
in the Data Arrays can be any one of the standard FieldServer I/O Drivers. It is incumbent on the user to configure
the ports and the Map Descriptors on the FieldServer. The Map Descriptors are FieldServer objects containing
polling instructions for an I/O Driver to copy data from the Low level Devices into a Data Array. One of the many
advantages of this architecture is that it allows many disparate proprietary devices PLC/DCS’s etc. to share
common data in a reliable embedded device (FieldServer) while providing access to the SCADA/PC application level
via this OPC Server. FST OPC Server supports simultaneous communication to up to 10 OPC Clients.
Please refer to the FieldServer Configuration Manual for instructions on configuration on the FieldServer side, the
tools required are not part of this package.
