1 HANNING & KAHL HCS-R DESCRIPTION

The Hanning & Kahl HCS-R driver allows the transfer of data from devices over RS-232 HCS-R protocol. Data is read
from HCS-R and current data stored in a specified memory area. The driver can store the data with its loop data
status distinct memory areas depending on wheter the data is on loop or from loop. The driver is based on section

10.5 of Hanning & Kahl - part number 40801121. The FieldServer can act as a Client or Server.

Max Nodes Supported

4 DATA ARRAY PARAMETER S

Data Arrays are “protocol neutral” data buffers for storage of data to be passed between protocols. It is necessary
to declare the data format of each of the Data Arrays to facilitate correct storage of the relevant data.

5 CONFIGURING THE FIELDSERVER AS A HCS-R CLIENT

For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the FieldServer Configuration Manual. The
information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the configuration files
included with the FieldServer (See “.csv” sample files provided with the FieldServer).

This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer to communicate
with a HCS-R Server.

The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable
the FieldServer for HCS-R communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to be declared in the

“Data Arrays” section, the destination device addresses need to be declared in the “Client Side Nodes” section, and
the data required from the servers needs to be mapped in the “Client Side Map Descriptors” section. Details on

how to do this can be found below.

Note that in the tables, * indicates an optional parameter, with the bold legal value being the default.

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

on specific hardware.
