Multistate
Value objects may be both a source and destination for Modbus register
or remote BACnet server object data. The source of data for the MV
object will be reading a remote Modbus register or remote BACnet
server object data when associated with a Read Map. The destination of
data for the MV object will be writing a remote Modbus register or
remote BACnet server object data when associated with a Write Map.
The
MV object may be simultaneously associated with both Read and Write
maps pointing to the same remote Modbus register or remote BACnet
server object data. This usage is most analagous to the traditional
Modbus Holding Register where you want to write the register, but read
back any different data that register may contain later. When the
external BACnet client writes a new value to the MV object, this
data will be written to the Modbus register or remote BACnet
server object data before any subsequent read. Thus the MV data is not
discarded by the read operation before the new data can be written. Out
of Service means the remote Modbus register or remote BACnet
server object data will be neither read or written. Reading and writing
will resume when placed back in service. Reliability codes may be any of the following: Modbus client, no response (64) Modbus client, crc error (65) Modbus exception, illegal function code (66) Modbus exception, illegal data address (67) Modbus exception, illegal data value (68) Modbus exception, code+65, rarely used (69..79) Local device, configuration property fault (80) BACnet IP client, device timeout (82) BACnet IP client, error returned by server (83)
Status flags A,B,C,D indicate the following, 0 meaning not true, 1 meaning true: A = in alarm B = fault C = overridden D = out of service Device
link will indicate RTU or TCP for Modbus, or BIP for BACnet,
followed by R for read or W for write, and a number which is the rule
number in the table of read or write rules for mapping Modbus or BACnet
to this BACnet object. The designation R means read from Modbus or
BACnet, and W means write to Modbus or BACnet. |
