Driver Manual

5.1.2AM6000_Status

Device state messages report a number of different states for the device. These states are refered to as the device status.

The following are possible values of this parameter. Any, alarm, trouble, on, erase, eraseon.

If you do not use this parameter in a device-onlymap descriptor then the driver uses the default value of Any. This means that any device state message will result in the same data array being updated. Thus a trouble/on/alarm message will result in the array being set to a 1.

If you want to maintain separate array's for each state the you use this parameter. For one device address range you would have multiple map descriptors, each with a different AM6000_Status keyword.

You should note that the keyword, erase, results in the data array value being set to zero when a message reports the device state as 'ERASE'. The keyword eraseon sets the value to one, when the same message is received.

5.1.3 AM6000_Ackable

This parameter tells the driver that the data array portion associated with this map descriptor can be set to zero when a Block Acknowledge or System Reset message is received.

You set this parameter to one of the following legal keywords: yes, no.

The Data_Array_Location and Length parameters are used to determine what portion of the associated data array must be set to zero.

5.1.4 AM6000_Simulation

This keyword is for used by FieldServer Technologies Engineers and is used for testing this driver.
