Map Descriptor Example: Write Controls  

The following Map Descriptor will  write controls to physical Server Genisys_01 and Genisys_02  (described in Client Side  Node Descriptors section) whenever 
any of the control statuses changes/updates.  One such Map Descriptor is required per Node. 

If Data_Type is Byte, 32 consecutive locations from the Data Array will be written to VHLC. Data at any location would be considered as one control word. 

If Data_Type is Bit, 256 consecutive locations from the Data Array will be written to VHLC. Data at 8 consecutive locations would be considered as one control 
word. 

Also see Appendix A.1.

Name of one of 
the Data Arrays 
defined in 
Data_Array 
section. This 
Data Array holds 
control statuses 
to be written to 
other devices. 

Starting offset 
in the Data 
Array which 
holds the 1

st

 

control status. 

One of the 
Nodes declared 
in the Node 
Section. 
Indications will 
read from the 
station address 
belonging to this 
Node 

Number of consecutive 
locations in the Data 
array to use when 
issuing the Write 
command. 

Wrbx: send write command 
to the Server when the 
associated Controls updates 
or changes.  To write 
continuously use Wrbc as the 
function and add a 
Scan_Interval parameter to 
configure how often to write.
