FieldServer – How It Works

This system works by creating a mini web server on our FieldServer that the users can browse to. When a user browses a webpage, the FieldServer searched the html document for special template tags, if the FieldServer finds these special template tags in the html document, it replaces them with data from your device. When you push a button on one of these web pages, the value is sent from your webpage to the FieldServer, to your device.

Step 1: FieldServer is configured to read data from field devices using RS232/ RS485/ Ethernet, Controlnet, DeviceNet, DH+, Modbus+ and any combination of drivers from the extensive protocol library. Over 100 protocols are available.

Step 2: A browser surfs the FieldServer. Pages served are just like any other html pages except that they can include animations based on the real time data obtained from the field devices. The pages can also contain elements to change the data in the FieldServer. These changes then get sent back down to the field devices, if this is what you require.

Step 3: Data read from the field devices can also be served to other field devices using another protocol. It depends on your requirements.
