Appendix A. Useful Features
Appendix A.1. Extending the Event Table
New event causes may be added to the Event Table (Refer to Appendix C.1) and the index value or category of
existing event causes modified by adding a section to the configuration CSV file. The examples below illustrate
this:
Appendix A.1.1. Map Descriptor Parameters
Column Title Function Legal Values
Event_Type_Description* Name (Description) of the new Event Types
Any string – max 19
characters
Event_Type_Index_Value
Provide the value that should be stored for a specific
event.
-32768 to 32768, 0
Event_Type_Category
Specify the category to which the new event should
belong
-32768 to 32768, 0

Appendix A.1.3. Example 2: New Entry is added

messages with this event description
Driver_Table

'Fault' = 2
'Alarm' = 3
'Trouble' = 4
Appendix A.2. Panel Synchronization
Manual synchronization is required. Push the reset button on the panel. This transmits a reset message to the
FieldServer, which clears the data in the FieldServer. After a reset the panel sends messages to report all abnormal
states. When all these messages have been processed the FieldServer and panel will be synchronized. This
process can be repeated at any time.
