Column Title

Function

 

Legal Values

 

 

The Node name is used

 

 

 

 

differently in a Server Node

 

 

 

 

Provide name for Node. The

 

 

 

 

driver uses the Node name to

 

 

 

Node_Name

establish a connection with the

Up to 32 alphanumeric

 

Server if the Node_ID is non-

characters

 

 

 

 

zero.

 

 

 

 

 

See Section 6.3 for additional

 

 

 

 

information.

 

 

 

 

 

The parameter is used to

 

 

 

Node_ID

control how the driver logs onto

0,1

 

 

 

the PLC. Read the notes above

 

 

 

 

(Node_Name)

 

 

 

 

Protocol

Specify protocol used

SNP.

 

 

In a number of FieldServer

 

 

 

 

configurations it is common to

 

 

 

 

omit the port when defining a

 

 

 

 

Server Node this cannot be

 

 

 

Server_Hold_Timeout*

done with the SNP protocol

P1-P8, R1-R24

 

 

unless the FieldServer is to be

 

 

 

 

used to emulate only one Node

 

 

 

 

and is not polling any other

 

 

 

 

SNP devices.
