    Max Link Idle Time (of the PLC). If the time is exceeded the connection is closed. Thus when the next poll is received by the PLC it ignores it and hence it times out in the FieldServer. After timing out, the driver re-establishes the connection for the next poll.

  • Page 22: Appendix B.1. Driver Stats

    The statistics recorded by the GE-SNP Serial Driver are slightly different 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. Bear in mind that a single poll can generate a large number of response fragments.

    Node it wishes to connect to or by sending a Null Node name. If the Client 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. In such a case the Node must be connected to a port (This is not always common with FieldServer Server configurations).

  • Page 26: Appendix C.2. Scaling

    Scaling is applied by the driver when bytes and registers are stored. 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. Scaling is applied using the FieldServer’s standard Map Descriptor parameters.
