Allen Bradley DF1 Description  
The DF1 driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over RS-232 using  
DF1 protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client.  
The information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the  
configuration files included with the FieldServer.

Hardware Connections  
It is possible to connect an Allen Bradley PLC to any of the RS-232 ports. These ports simply  
need to be configured for an Allen Bradley PLC in the configuration file.

Configuring the FieldServer as a DF1 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 FS).  
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer  
to communicate with a DF1 Server  
4.1.  
Data Arrays/Descriptors  
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data  
required. In order to enable the FieldServer for DF1 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.

Appendix A. Driver Notes  
Appendix A.1. Continuous Map Descriptors  
RS View has been known to crash if it tries to read a Server mapping that is discontinuous.  
e.g.  
Server map 1: N21: 0-31  
Server map 2: N21: 32-100  
This will panic the FieldServer and crash RS view as the DF1 will attempt to map N21: 0-100  
If set up as:  
Server Map 1: N21: 0-100 No problems are experienced  
Appendix A.2. Checksum  
You can now specify a checksum parameter for the serial connection.  
The heading keyword is "Checksum" and the possible values are  
1) BCC or 2) CRC-16  
If nothing is specified it defaults to BCC.  
Example:  
Connections  
Port,  
P1,  
Baud,  
9600,  
Protocol,  
DF1_FD,  
Checksum  
CRC-16  
The Checksum is valid for both DF1_FD and DF1_HD.
