4. Configuring the FieldServer as a Secutron Modul-R driver Client
For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the FieldServer Configuration
Manual. The inform ation that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the
configuration files included with the FieldServer (See “.csv” files on the provided with the FieldSer ver).
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer to
communicate with Secutron Modul-R panels.
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the rout ing of data required. In order
to enable the FieldServer for Secutron M odul-R driver 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 data required from the Servers 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.
