FS-8700-59 Canatal Sachnet Driver Manual 1. Canatal Satchnet Protocol Driver Description The Canatal Satchnet Protocol Driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over either RS-232 or RS-485 using Canatal Satchnet Protocol Driver protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client. This driver provides support for the Canatal Corporation implementation of the “Satchwell Network” protocol. The Canatal Satchnet Protocol Driver can act as a Master.

FS-8700-59 Canatal Sachnet Driver Manual 4.4.4 Map Descriptor Example In this example two map descriptors are provided. The first reads Device 11 ( a Series 2 device) and obtains the Alarm Table. The second map descriptor reads Device 23 ( a series 9 device) and reads the Cooling analog output (2nd element of table 10).
FS-8700-59 Canatal Sachnet Driver Manual 4.4.5 Map Descriptor Example 2 In this example two map descriptors are provided. They both read table 16 of a series 9 device. You will see though that the 2nd map descriptor has an extra keyword to override the default format. Read section 6.1 form more information on default data formats. // Reads elements 1 through 7 from table 5 in a series 9 device.

FS-8700-59 Canatal Sachnet Driver Manual 5.4 Server Side Map Descriptors 5.4.
FS-8700-59 Canatal Sachnet Driver Manual 5.4.4 Map Descriptor Example In this example the FieldServer answers queries from a Canatal Satchnet master device. A same map descriptor could be used when the same master wants to write data to the FieldServer. In this example the FieldServer is emulating a Canatal device addressed as node 11. It is not possible to have the FieldServer emulate two devices of difefrent series addressed as node 11.
FS-8700-59 Canatal Sachnet Driver Manual 6. Driver Notes 6.1 Canatal Device Data Tables Canatal Devices's have their data organized into data tables. A query requests a number of elements from a particular data table. The number, length and contents of the data tables is defined by the Canatal Corporation and is dependent on the series number of the device being addressed. You will need to be familiar with the data tables you with to poll usin g this driver.

FS-8700-59 Canatal Sachnet Driver Manual Errors 8 - 12 are produced when parsing a response from a Canatal device. They may result from a corrupted message. If they occur infrequently then they require no attention. Check the communication stats. In fact, it is more likely that you will be alerted to them by seeing errors in the communication statistics. CANA:#8 Error. Poll(%d)/Response(%d) Stns Not Equal The station polled has response but as a different station. The response will be abandoned.
