A Sierra Monitor Company Driver Manual (Supplement to the FieldServer Instruction Manual) FS-8704-13 GE-SRTP Ethernet Driver APPLICABILITY & EFFECTIVITY Effective for all systems manufactured after January 1, 1999 Instruction Manual Part Number FS-8704-13 Version 1.00 Revision 1.a 9/26/2002...
FS-8704-13 GE-SRTP 1. GE-SRTP Driver Description The GE-SRTP driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over Ethernet using GE-SRTP Driver protocol. There are two Ethernet ports standard on the FieldServer. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client.
Make sure the device IP_address is configured to be on the same IP network as on the FieldServer. Use a crossover cable if the FieldServer is connected directly to the PLC device. Use a straight cable if the FieldServer is connected to a hub.
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer to communicate with a GE-SRTP Driver Server. The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable the FieldServer for GE-SRTP Driver communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to be declared in the “Data Arrays”...

4.4.5 Map Descriptor Example 2 – Simple Write This example writes data from the Fieldserver data array called DA_AO to the PLC identified as NODE1. The write is repeated every 5 seconds. Ten word values are written to the PLC’s %AQ Data Table starting at location 20.
%T starting at bit 8. This is most useful when writing to the PLC in cases where you want to turn one particular bit on or off.

The statistics recorded by the GE-SNPX Serial Driver are slightly different from the way that Fieldserver driver normally record statistics. This difference arises from the fact that this driver is not a simple poll response driver. Bare in mind that a single poll can generate a large number of response fragments.
SRTP:#3 Error. MapDesc=<%s> has bad data type. You must edit the CSV file, correct the problem and then reset the FieldServer to correct this problem. Read the manual to get a list of valid data types.
A panic is produced by this message. There is no corrective action that you can take. If you wish, take a log file using RUIdebug and contact Fieldserver support. SRTP:#10 Err. Session Mbox bad type. Act/Exp=%x/c0 SRTP:#11 Err.
