4.2Data Arrays/Descriptors

The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable the FieldServer for Notifier NCA2/NFS2-3030 communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to be declared in the “Data Arrays” section, the destination device addresses need to be declared in the “Client Side Nodes” section, and the required data from Notifier Panels needs to be mapped in the “Client 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.

Section Title
Data_Arrays
Column Title	Function	Legal Values
Data_Array_Name	Provide name for Data Array	Up to 15 alphanumeric
		characters
Data_Array_Format	Provide data format. Each Data Array can only take on one	Bit, Sint16, Float1
	format.
	Number of Data Objects. Must be larger than the data
Data_Array_Length	storage area required by the Map Descriptors for the data	1-10,000
	being placed in this array.

Example 1

//	Data Arrays
Data_Arrays
Data_Array_Name		,Data_Format	,Data_Array_Length
DA_SYS_N2		,SINT16	,508
DA_N2L01D		,BIT	,1749
DA_N2L01D_T		,SINT16	,159
DA_N2L01M		,BIT	,1749
DA_N2L01M_T		,SINT16	,159
DA_N2_PANEL		,BIT	,1056
DA_N2_PANEL_T		,SINT16	,96
DA_N2_BELL_T		,SINT16	,4

1Sint16 is recommended over Float, as Float is memory expensive format
