5.1.2 AM6000_Status
Device state messages report a number of different states for the device. These states are refered
to as the device status.
The following are possible values of this parameter. Any, alarm, trouble, on, erase, eraseon.
If you do not use this parameter in a device-only map descriptor then the driver uses the default
value of Any. This means that any device state message will result in the same data array being
updated. Thus a trouble/on/alarm message will result in the array being set to a 1.
If you want to maintain separate array's for each state the you use this parameter. For one device
address range you would have multiple map descriptors, each with a different AM6000_Status
keyword.
You should note that the keyword, erase, results in the data array value being set to zero when a
message reports the device state as 'ERASE'. The keyword eraseon sets the value to one, when
the same message is received.
5.1.3 AM6000_Ackable
This parameter tells the driver that the data array portion associated with this map descriptor can
be set to zero when a Block Acknowledge or System Reset message is received.
You set this parameter to one of the following legal keywords: yes, no.
The Data_Array_Location and Length parameters are used to determine what portion of the
associated data array must be set to zero.
5.1.4 AM6000_Simulation
This keyword is for used by FieldServer Technologies Engineers and is used for testing this
driver.
