4.4 Client Side Map Descriptors
4.4.1 FieldServer Related Map Descriptor Parameters
Column Title Function Legal Values
Map_Descriptor_Name Name of this Map Descriptor Up to 32 alphanumeric
characters
Data_Array_Name Name of Data Array where data is to be
stored / retrieved in the FieldServer.
The use of this array is dependent on
the Optomux command used in the map
descriptor.
For example some commands use one
data value for all module positions to be
affected by the command (Driver will
only use one data array element). Other
commands may use one data element
per module position specified. In this
case the FieldServer may use up to 16
data array elements.
To fully understand this, read the notes
in chapter 6.
One of the Data Array names
from “Data Array” section above
Da_Bit_Name* This parameter is only required for
dynamic module position specification.
Ie. You intend using a data array to tell
the driver which module positions to
affect by a command. In this case use
this parameter. Up to 16 elements will
be inspected. The first element will
always be used for the first module
position , the 2
nd
element for the 2
nd
module position ….
Module positions are specified by setting
the corresponding array element to a
non-zero value. Module positions are left
unspecified by setting the module array
position to zero.
The first element of this array that is
used is determined by the
Data_Array_Offset parameter.
Additional information is provided in
chapter 6.
