4.5.5. Map Descriptor Example 1. - Read Point Status
This Map Descriptor can be used to poll for the status of a particular point. When the response is obtained the driver sets the value
of one Data Array element to a number indicating the point’s status. The values are described in Appendix A.4. You need one such
Map Descriptor for every point whose status you wish to poll. Notes in Appendix A.13 provide more information
