An example is a PLC using one protocol needing to supply alarm information to a DCS using ControlNet. In a single, comprehensive package the FieldServer provides the hardware and software necessary for this translation. The FS-B4014 Series includes eight RS-232 ports, two RS-485 ports, two Ethernet (10BaseT) ports, and one ControlNet port to interface to the devices. All the necessary software and instructions for configuration are supplied with the FieldServer. FieldServer Technologies also offers fee based configuration services. FieldServers are available for various fieldbuses.
