Configuring the FieldServer as a Gardner Denver Auto Sentry ES/RS2000 

Client 

For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the 
FieldServer Configuration Manual. The information that follows describes how to 
expand upon the factory defaults provided in the configuration files included with the 
FieldServer (See “.csv” sample files provided with the FieldServer). This section 
documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer 
to communicate with a Gardner Denver Auto Sentry ES/RS2000 Controller. 
 

1.04 Data 

Arrays/Descriptors 

The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data 
required. In order to enable the FieldServer for Gardner Denver Auto Sentry 
ES/RS2000 communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to be 
declared in the “Data Arrays” section, the destination device addresses need to be 
declared in the “Client Side Nodes” section, and the data required from the servers 
needs to be mapped in the “Client Side Map Descriptors” section. Details on how to 
do this can be found below. 
 
Note that in the tables, * indicates an optional parameter, with the bold legal value 
being the default.
