CONFIGURING THE FIELDSERVER AS AN ETHERNET/IP CLIENT
For detailed information on FieldServer configuration, refer to the FieldServer Configuration Manual. The
information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the configuration
files included with the FieldServer.
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer to
communicate with an EtherNet/IP Server.
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to
enable the FieldServer for EtherNet/IP 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: In the tables below, * indicates an optional parameter and bold legal values are defaults.
