    FS-8700-66 GE-SNP Driver Manual GE_SNP DESCRIPTION The GE-SNP Serial driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over either RS-232 or RS-485 using GE-SNP Serial protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client. The FieldServer provides functions to read and write PLC memory and change the privilege level. Standard SNP mailbox messages are used.

    When a Client attempts to establish a connection it may send the name of the Node it wishes to connect to or a Null Node name. If it sends a Null Node name then the FieldServer will connect if any SNP Nodes have been defined for the same port as the Client using the Null name.
  • Page 19: Appendix A.2. Scaling

    When BIT data is transferred in BIT format than scaling is not applied. When BIT data is transferred using bye format’s then scaling may be applied. Refer to the FieldServer Configuration Manual for more information on how scaling is handled by the FieldServer. Valid for driver Version 1.02 and later.

  • Page 23: Appendix C.2. Driver Stats

    Appendix C.2. Driver Stats The GE-SNP Serial Driver records statistics differently from the way that FieldServer driver normally records statistics. This difference arises from the fact that this driver is not a simple poll response driver - a single poll can generate a large number of response fragments.
