5. Configuring the FieldServer as a DNP 3.0 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.)
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer to
communicate with a DNP 3.0 Driver Client.
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order
to enable the FieldServer for DNP 3.0 Driver 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 Clients 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.
