4.4.2. Driver Related Map Descriptor Parameters
Column Title Function Legal Values
Node_Name Name of Node to fetch data from
One of the Node
Names specified in
Section 4.3
Event Type
This driver uses this parameter to determine the
suitability of a Map Descriptor when looking for a
location to store data from an incoming message.
A Map Descriptor may be defined to store only
‘Alarm’, ‘Fault’, ‘Trouble’ or ‘Other events.
Alternatively, specify “Any”
A table of events vs. categories is provided in
Appendix A.1
Any, Other, Fault,
Alarm, Trouble
Point Type
This driver uses this parameter to determine the
suitability of a Map Descriptor when looking for a
location to store data from an incoming message.
Zone, Relay, Loop,
Sensor, Module,
Panel
Relay/Loop/Zone
Number
Ignored when the Point Type is ‘Panel’
Point Type = Relay 1..255
Point Type = Zone 1..8
Point Type = Loop 1..2
Point Type = Module 1..2
Point Type = Sensor 1..2
Whole Numbers
1, 2 , etc
Length*
Each Map Descriptor defines storage locations for a
series of addresses. This parameter specifies the
length of the series.
1,2,3 .etc
Whole numbers
Address
This parameter is specific to Map Descriptors with
‘Event Type’ Module or Sensor. It specifies the
starting Module or Sensor number. The length
parameter then determines the range of the
Sensor/Module numbers
1..99
Store As*
By default the driver stores using the ‘Index Value’
Method. If set to ‘Bit’ the driver will use the primary
Data Array to store using the ‘Bit Storage’ Method.
These methods are described in Appendix A.3
Bit, Index_Value
DA_Bit_Name
If the default ‘Store As’ is specified or if the
parameter is omitted then a secondary array can be
specified using this parameter - the driver will store
event data as ‘Bit Storage’ in the Secondary array
(and as ‘Index Values’ in the Primary array.) These
methods are described in Appendix A.3
One of the Data
Array names from
“Data Array”
section above
Clear on Reset*
If this parameter is specified it will prevent the Driver
resetting the Data Array points associated with the
Map Descriptor on reset.
Yes, No
