5.4.4 Map Descriptor Example

In this example the FieldServer answers queries from a Canatal Satchnet master device. A same map descriptor could be used when the same master wants to write data to the FieldServer. In this example the FieldServer is emulating a Canatal device addressed as node 11. It is not possible to have the FieldServer emulate two devices of difefrent series addressed as node 11.
