FieldServer Driver - Serial


FS-8700-49

Data Aire DAP


Description The Data Aire Driver is capable of direct connection to a network of Data Aire DAP devices. The FieldServer is connected in a RS-485 loop topology. Two FieldServer ports are required per loop. The driver is an active client. All data is obtained by poll & response. The driver may be configured very simply a simple one line configuration tells the driver to store everything in a large array. The driver manual identifies the location in the array of each data field. Advanced configurations are also possible refer to Driver Manual. Connection to a DART is not supported by this driver. Fieldserver Mode Client Server Formal Driver Type Serial Client Only Compatibility Matrix FieldServer Model FS-x2010 FS-x2011 FS-x40 FS-x30 Compatible with this driver No No Yes, No Nodes 1 321 Comments It may be necessary to use a repeater if total RS-485 length exceeds 1000ft.

If the DAP controllers are connected directly to the FieldServer the limit of 32 nodes does not apply. According to the spec, the number of nodes can range from 1-260 under these conditions. Normal RS485 network considerations apply and this can only be achieved with network repeaters. Please refer to the Driver manual for more information.
