6.4. Indirect Data Map

The Indirect Data Map maps data registers from anywhere in the RMC to certain contiguous

registers. The intent of this structure is to allow packing of otherwise discontiguous data

together for efficient I/O and messaging communications.
For example, perhaps you wish to read and write to 5 registers in the RMC75E via the Allen-

Bradley CSP protocol (DF1 over Ethernet). These registers may have addresses F8:0, F8:8,

F9:0, F9:8, and F56:0. Reading these would require several reads, and would not be very

efficient. By using the Indirect Data Map, you can assign these registers to F18:0 to F18:4.

Now only one read of 5 registers is required, which is much more efficient.
