7.5.4 Viewing the Mapping Status in the BAS Remote
To view the Mapping in the BAS Remote, click on the Map button on the Web Server
Page (just under the device image in Figure 21). Then a screen similar to that of Figure
50
appears. But your screen will display more “Address” lines in the Unit Status box —
where each additional line corresponds to one of the Modbus addresses of your map.
This window not only displays the Modbus mapped variables, it also displays all
instances in the BAS Remote
— for example, the 8 I/O channels of the BAS Remote
and many of their parameters. It also allows you to view or change the preset value of
most instances within the BAS Remote. This is particularly useful when you want to
clear a pulse counter. It also displays the BACnet status of each instance. Having the
full list of instances is handy when doing Sedona programming.
Note the following considerations:

The screen of Figure 50 displays the situation of a BAS Remote with no Expansion
Modules installed. If one Expansion Module were installed and working, the Unit Status
box would list “Address 2 Online”. If two Expansion Modules were installed, the Unit
Status
window would list “Address 2 Online” and “Address 3 Online”. And you would
see “Address 4 Online”, if you had installed a third Expansion Module.

If a Modbus device (or an Expansion Module) has been installed but is reported as
“Offline” because the Master Module has detected a communication failure and listed the
questionable device as “Offline”. In such a case, you may notice that periodically the
“Offline” report briefly changes to “Online”. This brief “Online” report is due to the
Master Module attempt to contact the questionable device every scan cycle. Due to
other considerations, the actual frequency of this “Online” report cannot be predicted —
thus, you should expect brief “Online” reports at irregular intervals (but no more often
than the scan cycle set by the parameters in Section 6.1.3.5).
Because Addresses 5, 6 and 7 are reserved for future use, you will not see these three
addresses displayed in the Unit Status box.
