Appendix A. Reference

Appendix A.1. Device Information Table

Appendix A.1.1. Pro p erty F i les

Each Controller interfacing to the FieldServer requires associated property files (denoted by file extensions .bp1
and .bp2) to be loaded into the FieldServer. The property files listed in the device information table (Appendix A.1)
are preloaded onto the FieldServer when delivered. Other property files may be available upon request.

Appendix A.1.2. Con f igura t i on Fil e s

Each Controller has an associated configuration file as shown in the device information table (Appendix A.1). This
configuration file contains the mapping for the related module and can be used as a basis for building a
configuration for the FieldServer.

Note: SYSNet is the generic name for networks of the listed modules. Controlbus is the generic name for the
networks in a NIM/CBLink configuration
