4.5.Client Side Map Descriptors
Map Descriptors control when and how data is transferred to or from the Profibus slaves.
Column Title | Function | Legal Values |
|
Map_Descriptor_Name | Name of this Map Descriptor | Up to 32 alphanumeric characters |
|
Data_Array_Name | Name of Data Array where data is to be stored | One of the Data Array names from | “Data Array” |
in the FieldServer | section above |
| |
|
| ||
Data_Array_Offset | Starting location in Data Array | 0 to maximum specified in “Data Array” section above | |
Function | Function of Client Map Descriptor | RDBC, WRBC |
|
Node_Name | Name of Node to fetch data or write data to | One of the node names specified in | “Client Side |
Nodes” above |
| ||
|
|
| |
Data_Type | Data type | FLOAT, WORD, BYTE, BIT |
|
DP_Buffer | Specify buffer in the DP card being accessed. | Input, Output |
|
| Address in DP_Buffer being accessed, |
| |
Address | Note: When using Data_Type BIT, the address is in | ||
| expressed in byte offset | bit e.g. from 0 - 1951 |
|
|
|
| |
Length | Number of points in DP_Buffer being accessed, | 1- 1952, depending on Data_Type |
|
expressed in points defined by Data_Type | e.g. when Data Type is WORD and length is 10, it | ||
| means that 10*2 = 20 bytes are used in the buffer | ||
