BUFFER Element

Used between a crosspoint trigger and a crosspoint action to reduce
the system resource usage. There is a constraint on the maximum
number of possible actions by crosspoint triggers and crosspoint
actions imposed by system resources. In general the number of
possible triggers times the number of possible actions should not
exceed 4095. So if there are 16 possible triggers specified in a
crosspoint trigger and 16 possible crosspoint actions specified in a
crosspoint action the number of actions would be:

16 triggers x 16 actions = 256 events

which would be acceptable. If the result of setting up a system of
crosspoint triggers and crosspoint actions created more than 4095
possible actions an error would be reported when the configuration
was downloaded.

In this case a buffer logic element should be placed between the
crosspoint trigger and crosspoint action. In this way the number of
actions the trigger crosspoint has to make is limited to the number of
trigger crosspoints, which only have to trigger the buffer. The buffer
will then act on the crosspoints in the crosspoint action.

The BUFFER element adds a 25ms processing delay.
