FS-8704-14 EtherNet/IP Manual Page 12 of 316 CONFIGURING THE FIELDSERVER AS AN ETHERNET/IP SERVERFor a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the FieldServer Configuration Manual. Theinformation that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the configuration filesincluded with the FieldServer.This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer to communicatewith an EtherNet/IP Client.The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enablethe FieldServer for EtherNet/IP communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to be declared inthe “Data Arrays” section, the FieldServer virtual node(s) needs to be declared in the “Server Side Nodes” section,and the data to be provided to the Client 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.6.1 Server Side Connection ParametersSection TitleConnectionsColumn Title Function Legal ValuesAdapter Adapter Name N1, N2 4Protocol Specify protocol used EtherNet/IPExample// Server Side ConnectionsAdaptersAdapterN1, Protocol, EtherNet/IP6.2 Server Side Node Parameters 3Section TitleNodesColumn Title Function Legal ValuesNode_NameProvide name for NodeUp to 32 alphanumericcharactersProtocol Specify protocol used EtherNet/IPServer_Hold_Timeout*Specifies time FieldServer will reserve server side connectionwhile waiting for the Client side to update data.>1.0s4 Not all ports shown are necessarily supported by the hardware.
