Example 2 : Action Numbers
You can have the driver store a value corresponding to the contents of the action field reported in the incoming messages. Actions are brief
descriptions of the event that caused the message to be generated. A table of values vs. descriptions is provided in section 6.5. The driver stores
the most recent action number, overwriting the previously stored action numbers. The driver does not keep an event log. The action number’s are
set to zero, if the clear_on_reset is set to ‘yes’ and a system reset message is received.
For example, if the string ‘Fire Alarm in’
is contained in the action field of the message the driver would store an action value of 11.
This map descriptor can be used as well as the any of the map descriptors shown in previous examples. Thus you can have one (or more) map
descrriptor storing the state and one storing the action number.
Map_Descriptors
Map_Descriptor_Name, Data_Array_Name , Data_Array_Offset, Function, node_name, ckt , Length , Data_Type , Clear_on_Reset
Ckt1128_data12 , DA_ACTION128 , 000 , passive , panel1 , 128 , 127 , Action_Numbers , yes
Using this data_Type the
driver stores a value
corresponding to the
contents of the action field
p
ortion of the message sent
by the panel. A table in
section 6.5 provides a list
of values vs. action
descriptions.
