1.Metasys N2 Description

The Metasys N2 network supports communications with a diverse range of devices. Many N2 compatible devices use their own version of the protocol and care must be taken to ensure that the device of interest is covered by the FieldServer implementation.

At present the FieldServer N2 driver will support communications with the following devices or device classes when acting as a Client:

1.N2Open-compliant devices. N2Open is a published N2-compatible protocol enabling 3rd party device vendors to integrate with N2.

2.VMA 1400 series (with restrictions, as described in this document)

3.DX9100 and XT9100

When acting as a Server, the FieldServer N2 driver can emulate an N2Open device only.
