Configuring the SlotServer as a Logix I/O Server
The information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the configuration files
included with the SlotServer (See “.csv” sample files provided with the SlotServer).
The configuration file tells the SlotServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable
the SlotServer for Logix communications, the driver independent SlotServer buffers need to be declared in the
“Data Arrays” section, the SlotServer virtual node(s) needs to be declared in the “Server Side Nodes” section, and
the data to be provided to the Clients needs to be mapped in the “Server 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.
