Analog
Value objects may be both a source and destination for Modbus register
or BACnet server object data. The source of data for the AV object will
be reading a remote Modbus register or remote BACnet server object when
associated with a Read Map. The destination of data for the AV object
will be writing a remote Modbus register or remote BACnet server object
when associated with a Write Map. The
AV object may be simultaneously associated with both Read and Write
maps pointing to the same remote Modbus register or remote BACnet
server object. 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 AV object, this data will
be written to the Modbus register or remote BACnet server object before
any subsequent read. Thus the AV 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 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. |
