FS-8700-17_Opto22.doc Manual OPTOMUX DRIVER DESCRIPTION The Optomux Driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over either RS-232 or RS-485 using the Optomux Driver protocol. The Optomux driver is a client only driver. This means that the driver can poll an Optomux protocol compliant device but cannot emulate one.
Bridging 4-wire RS-422 to get 2-wire RS-485 may not work in certain applications, and in this case it is recommended that a RS-232 to RS-422 converter is used in between the FieldServer and the OPTO 22 devices .

FS-8700-17_Opto22.doc Manual In addition to the standard FieldServer communication statistics described in the FieldServer User’s Manual the Optomux Driver can also expose some driver statistics by writing data to a Data Array. A special Map Descriptor is required. The driver recognizes the Map Descriptor by its name which must be "opto22-stats”.
