5.3. Server Side Node Descriptors
Section Title
Nodes
Column Title Function Legal Values
Node_Name Provide name for Node
Up to 32 alphanumeric
characters
Node_ID
DataPort station address of physical Server Node.
These correspond to the ‘devices’ configured in the
DTPConfig. Thus the Node_ID is not the address of
the final CCN device.
The DataPort DTPConfig table maps a device
number (1...15) to a bus number (0-239). Use the
Node_ID to tell the driver which device to use.
1-15
Protocol Specify protocol used CarrierDP
Example
// Server Side Nodes

Not all ports shown are necessarily supported by the hardware. Consult the appropriate Instruction
manual for details of the ports available on specific hardware.

It is common to leave server nodes unconnected to a port. This means that the FieldServer can respond
with the Node’s data irrespective of which port the request is received on.
