6 CONFIGURING THE FIELDSERVER AS A SECUTRON MODUL-R DRIVER SERVER
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 provided with the FieldServer).
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable
the FieldServer for Secutron Modul-R driver communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to
be declared in the “Data Arrays” section, the FieldServer virtual node(s) need to be declared in the “Server Side
Nodes” section, and the data to be provided to the Client 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.
