Map Descriptor Example 2 – Send a Reset / Ack / Silence Command.
This example illustrates three map descriptors used to send commands to the panel. These are the only active map descriptors that can be used
with the Gamewell Serial Driver.
These map descriptors use the WRBX function. When the 1
st element (because Data_Array_Offset = 0 ) has its value updated, even if the value
doesn’t change, then the driver will send the command to the panel.
Note that you are required to send an Ack before you can send a silence command. The driver does not clear the trigger by setting the array
element back to zero. The panel does not send a message acknowledging receipt of the command, thus the driver cannot provide positive
confirmation.
Map_Descriptors
Map_Descriptor_Name, Data_Array_Name, Data_Array_Offset, Length, Function, Node_Name, Gamewell_Func
Ack_md , DA_ACK , 0 , 1 , wrbx , panel1 , Ack
Sil_md , DA_SILENCE , 0 , 1 , wrbx , panel1 , Silence
Res_md , DA_RESET , 0 , 1 , wrbx , panel1 , Reset
By using a wrbx you can
have the driver send the
command when the array
is updated.
Thus, to trigger any of
these commands have the
remote device send a
value to the 1
st element of
the above data arrays.
Use one of these
keywords.
