Using the CommonNet Data Map

The Data Map section allows you to copy data between areas in the module's
internal database.

You can copy a maximum of 100 registers per Data Map command, and you can
configure a maximum of 200 separate copy commands.

You can copy data from the error or status tables in upper memory to internal
database registers in the User Data memory area.

You can rearrange the byte and/or word order during the copy process. For
example, by rearranging byte or word order, you can convert floating-point values
to the correct format for a different protocol.

You can also use the Data Map to condense widely dispersed data into one
contiguous data block, making it easier to access.
