2.5.1.Map Descriptor Overview - Settings Aspect
Parameter | Description | |
Map Descriptor | The current Map Descriptor being displayed out of the total | |
Node_ID | The Node ID used by this Map Descriptor when the driver builds read | |
or write messages.. | ||
| ||
Protocol | The protocol used by this Map Descriptor. | |
Map_Descriptor_Name | Used to identify a Map Descriptor by name. | |
User_Address | Allows a Map Descriptor to address remote device data at a specific | |
start memory location. | ||
| ||
Length | Alows a Map Descriptor address a number of remote device data | |
locations from the start address. | ||
| ||
Block_Type | Used by some drivers to indicate the data format used to pack a block | |
of data, e.g. when reading a block of 4 bytes from a PLC and the | ||
| Block_Type is Word, the incoming data will be interpreted as 2 words. | |
Data_Array_Name | The name of the Data Array where information will be stored to and | |
retrieved from by the Map Descriptor. | ||
| ||
Data_Array_Offset | The offset into the Data Array where data should be stored on reads or | |
retrieved from on writes. | ||
| ||
Function | The Map Descriptor function can be mainly read or write with a number | |
of variations of each. Refer to the FieldServer Manual for other | ||
| functions. | |
Scan_Interval | When using continuous Map Descriptor functions such as RDBC, this | |
is the time a Map Descriptor will wait before polling for data again. | ||
| ||
Data_Array_Low_Scale | Used in the scaling of data values before storing them or before | |
Data_Array_High_Scale | ||
| sending them in write messages. Consult the Driver manual to | |
Node_Low_Scale | ||
determine whether the driver supports scaling. | ||
Node_High_Scale | ||
| ||
Units | Used to specify engineering units to interpret data if used. Will display | |
a dash if not used. | ||
| ||
Network | Used by some drivers as a network number. | |
Sector | Used by some drivers as a sector number for rack addressing. | |
Panel | Used by some drivers as a panel number for rack addressing. | |
Card | Used by some drivers as a card number for rack addressing. |
