    They can be sent at short intervals. Chances of one or more messages being dropped are small on a local area network. As a client the FieldServer acts as an EGD consumer. As a master the FieldServer acts as an EGD producer.

    GE-EGD (Ethernet Global Data) is a producer-consumer model protocol. In equating the two models it is important to regard the consumer as a passive (FieldServer) client. Other clients typically are active and poll for new data. The consumer is a passive client in that waits to digest new data generated by a producer.

    PLC that will produce data for the FieldServer. (Specific consumer means specific IP address). Since the EGD data packet is not structured, the FieldServer cannot decode the data ranges without the Map Descriptors. It is therefore important that the data ranges in the produced exchange correspond to the Map Descriptors in the CSV file.
