1 CONVIA XML DESCRIPTION
The Convia driver uses XML syntax to communicate with the Convia Global Gateway device. As a Client the Convia
driver reads specified data points from the Convia gateway and stores the data in the FieldServer Data Arrays. The
Client driver achieves this by using XML element and attribute syntax. As a Server the Convia driver allows the
Convia Global Gateway to use the FieldServer XML Schema syntax to read data from the FieldServer Data Arrays.
