FS-8700-17 Optomux Driver Manual 1 Optomux Driver Description The Optomux Driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over either RS-232 or RS-485 using the Optomux Driver protocol. The Optomux driver is a client only driver. This means that the driver can poll an Optomux protocol compliant device but cannot emulate one. The Optomux protocol provides a large command set. Many of the commands are used for OPTO22 device configuration. This driver suppor

FS-8700-17 Optomux Driver Manual 4.4.4 Map Descriptor Example 1 – Read on/off Status In this example the on/off status of all module positions of the Optomux device are read and stored. They are read continuously (rdbc) every 5 seconds (Scan_Interval). The Read Status command returns one packed 16 bit value. There is one bit per module position, thus, if the returned value was 2 then this would nd indicate that the 2 position is on and all other positions are off. Map_Descriptor_Name, Da

The difference is that the data is stored differently. In this example the data is unpacked and stored in 16 consecutive data array elements – one element per module position.

The response / status values indicate the success / failure of the command based either on the driver’s ability to complete the command OR on the ack/nack returned by the device.

This example shows a map descriptor which reads analog inputs from an Optomux Device. The address and length tell the driver which inputs to read. Take care to ensure that the data array used for storage has a data format suitable for storing the data type returned by the command. In this case an unsigned integer at least 16 bits long ( eg

For example if you are attempting to address non-consecutive Optomux module positions OR when you wish to use a command that affects all module positions. The driver provides an alternate method for module position specification by allowing you to specify a mask as a parameter in the CSV file. The

This example illustrates how you can use a data array’s value to specify the module position’s to be affected by a command. As data arrays can have their values changed by remote devices, the module position specification may be changed dynamically. The CSV file does not require editing. This method can be used all the time o

Despite their names a data array of any Data_Format can be used for any of these parameters. This driver uses DA_Byte_Name exclusively as a location for the commands to trigger map descriptors and in which to store poll response status. The use of DA_Bit_Name is command sensitive and is used to allow the values in a data array
