Appendix A. Advanced Topics 

Appendix A.1.  Using the FieldServer RUI for Troubleshooting. 

As  a  FieldServer  enabled  product,  the  SlotServer  supports  the  use  of  the  FieldServer 
Utilities for diagnostic purposes.  It should not be necessary to connect these utilities to the 
SlotServer.  However, if the need arises, then the following steps are advised: 

•

  Download the utilities software (or just RuiNet) from www.fieldserver.com 

•

  Download the FieldServer Utilities manual 

•

  Get familiar with the utilities by reading the Utilities manual 

•

  Connect to the Ethernet port on the SlotServer as prescribed by the FieldServer Utilities 

manual. 

•

  Follow directions on each of the features of the Utilities to achieve the needed result 

 

Note:

  It  is  possible  to  change  the  profile  of  the  SlotServer  by  loading  a  new  configuration 

with  these  utilities.    However,  doing  so for this  particular  product  will  void  the Warranty  on 
the  product  and  doing  so  without  consulting  FieldServer  Technologies  is  strongly 
discouraged. 

 

Appendix A.2.  Installing SlotServer on a Remote Rack using CNB cards 

Appendix A.2.1. 

Hardware and Software requirements 

In order to perform this application, the following hardware and software is required as a 
minimum: 
 

•

  At  least  two  1756  racks,  where  one  rack  contains  the  CPU  and  the  other  rack 

contains the SlotServer 

•

  Two Controlnet CNB cards (with cable for connection) to connect the racks to each 

other 

•

  RSlinx 

•

  RSLogix 

•

  RSNetworx 

•

  SlotServer EDS file (Available on SlotServer CD, or call Technical Support) 

 

Note  that  it  is  possible  to  connect  to  SlotServer  on  a  remote  rack  using  other  1756 
bridging  cards.  This  chapter  only  deals  with  CNB,  but  the  principles  for  using  other 
bridging cards are similar. 

Appendix A.2.2. 

Setup 

•

  Install the CPU and the first CNB card in the local rack. 

•

  Install the second CNB card and the SlotServer in the remote rack. 

•

  Connect the ControlNet Network 

•

  Power up the racks 

•

  Install the SlotServer EDS File using the RSLinx Hardware EDS Installation Tool. 

•

  Make sure the SlotServer has a valid configuration loaded. The default configuration 

shipped with the SlotServer should suffice.
