5.3.2 Driver Related Map Descriptor Parameters
Column Title Function Legal Values
Node_Name Name of Node to fetch data from
One of the Node
Names specified in
Section 5.2
Event Type*
This driver uses this parameter to determine the suitability of a Map
Descriptor when looking for a location to store data from an
incoming message.
A Map Descriptor may be defined to store only ‘Alarm’, ‘Fault’,
‘Trouble’ or ‘Other events. Alternatively, specify “Any”
A table of events vs. categories is provided in Appendix C.1
Any, Other, Fault,
Alarm, Trouble
Point Type
This driver uses this parameter to determine the suitability of a Map
Descriptor when looking for a location to store data from an
incoming message. Zone, Relay, Loop,
Sensor,
Module,
Panel
Relay/Loop/Zone
Number
Ignored when the Point Type is ‘Panel’
Point Type = Relay 1..255
Point Type = Zone 1..8
Point Type = Loop 1..2
Point Type = Module 1..2
Point Type = Sensor 1..2
Whole Numbers
1, 2 , etc
Length*
Each Map Descriptor defines storage locations for a series of
addresses. This parameter specifies the length of the series. 1,2,3 .etc
Whole numbers
Address
This parameter is specific to Map Descriptors with ‘Event Type’
Module or Sensor. It specifies the starting Module or Sensor
number. The length parameter then determines the range of the
Sensor/Module numbers
1..99
Store As*
If set to ‘Bit’ the driver will use the primary Data Array to store using
the ‘Bit Storage’ Method. These methods are described in Appendix
A.1
Bit, Index_Value
DA_Bit_Name
If the default ‘Store As’ is specified or if the parameter is omitted
then a secondary array can be specified using this parameter - the
driver will store event data as ‘Bit Storage’ in the Secondary array
(and as ‘Index Values’ in the Primary array.) These methods are
described in Appendix A.1
One of the Data
Array
names
Specified under
Section 4
Clear on Reset*
If this parameter is specified it will prevent the Driver resetting the
Data Array points associated with the Map Descriptor on reset.
Yes, No
