4.1.4.Map Descriptor Example 1 – Port has no Sub-Ports.

This Map Descriptor is used to store messages from ‘Panel2’ if they meet the following criteria

Panel

= Node ‘Panel2’‘s Node_ID

Number

 

Board

= 1

Loop

= 2

Port-Type

= Inputs

Port

= 1 to 100 (Address and length

 

parameters)

Data_Type

= Alarms

Typically you will create one MD for each of the 4 data types for each Panel/Board/Loop/Port-Type/Port combination. Only messages which report trouble allocated to the ‘Alarm’ category will update the DA below. Appendix A.4 provides more information on which messages are allocated to each data type.

If any of the Port’s has a sub-port then additional MD’s must be created because the Sub-Port_Type = None.
