All configuration data and parameters within a NETx BMS Core Server project are stored within a workspace. A workspace consists of various configuration files that are read during the start up procedure of the server. All workspaces are kept in the following directory:
<Install-Directory>\NETxAutomation\NETx.
...
BMS.Server.
...
4.0
...
\Workspaces
Within this directory, each NETx BMS Core Server workspace has its own sub-directory where all corresponding configuration and definition files are stored. The name of the sub-directory is identical to the name of the workspace:
<Install-Directory>\NETxAutomation\NETx.
...
BMS.Server.
...
4.0
...
\Workspaces\<Workspacename>
Inside each workspace's directory there are several sub directories that are home for the different workspace files.
| Workspace Sub-Directory | Contents |
|---|---|
ConfigFiles | Configuration data files contain general configuration parameters that change the behavior of the server functionality (e.g. IP address of the used network interface, ...) |
DataFiles | Datapoint configuration files are used to specify the different datapoints from the field level that shall be accessed by the server. The configuration of the field devices that handle these datapoints is also defined here. |
EventFiles | To add additional control functionality to the server, events can be defined. |
LogFiles | Logging information that is generated by the server during runtime |
ProjectFiles | NETx BMS Client projects are stored within container files which use the file extension ".vxf". |
ScriptFiles | In cases where the provided event definition mechanisms are not sufficient enough to add more control functionality, LUA scripts can be implemented and executed within the server's environment. |
