Page 15: How Protocessor Works
• This implementation allows the OEM the ability to instantly support any protocols that we support. For the latest list of available drivers visit the MSA Safety website. 6.1.1 Full Function ProtoCessor The ProtoCessor is user configurable, has more memory and supports multiple protocols. -
Page 16: Configuration File
The CONFIG.CSV file is loaded into these devices through the Ethernet port. It can be retrieved using the FieldServer FS-GUI (Graphic User interface) via Ethernet. Refer to the MSA Safety webpage for more information. Contact FieldServer technical services for assistance in mapping the configuration file to a particular application. -
Page 17: Application Specific Protocessor (Asp)
6.2.1 Application Specific ProtoCessor (ASP) The ASP ProtoCessor has been designed specifically for OEMs with high-volume/cost sensitive products requiring efficient but affordable protocol support. The ASP has been designed for “Plug and Play” installation – no software is required. This is to ensure ease of installation and support by the OEM and their customers. -
