4.5.8.Map Descriptor Example 8 – History Data (All Devices)

In this example, 4 Map Descriptors process all history events on all four loops. One Data Array is used and loop #2’s data is stored at an offset location of 240 (max number of devices per loop) in the Data Array. The Device is set to ALL to tell the driver to process all devices on the loop using this Map Descriptor. If a history event for device 100 on loop 3 is received then the driver will store the event code at location 480(=base offset for loop 3)+100 (=device address). The event code will be stored as a number and the meaning of the number may be obtained by reading Appendix A.4
