Catching Ignored Messages
To assist you catch and monitor ignored messages the driver provides a special map descriptor
keyword.
Make a map descriptor and set the parameter AM6000_TypeID 's value to Catch-All. Make sure
that this is the last map descriptor in the csv file. The map descriptor requires a data length of at
least 82 and when using RUI_Debug you should view the data array in tring mode.
The driver will place any ignored messages in this buffer. You will be able to read the message in tring mode an make a decision on the necessary corrective action. If there are multiple
messages being ignored the buffer will be overwritten.
You could use your PLC / control device / Scada to monitor the first byte of this data array and
generate an alarm if the value is non-zero. Thus, even though a message has been ignored you
system will know about it.
