FieldServer Driver - Fieldbus
Description
The FieldServer ControlNet driver for the FS-B3514 can be used to emulate a single slave station on a ControlNet network. ControlNet scanners can open a connection of up to 450 Bytes in each direction to the FieldServer. Data transfers are via Scheduled Communication and therefore the FieldServer has to be scheduled on the ControlNet network with the use of a Network Configuration Tool such as RSNetWorx or RSLogix. The minimum supported network update time (NUT) is 5ms. Connection to the ControlNet network is via two standard BNC connector ports. The connection may be to either one or both of the ControlNet ports. A connection to both ports provides dual redundant operation. A Network Access Port (NAP) is also provided for the temporary connection of a Network Configuration Tool.
