Mapping - Transferring Data Between Devices
There are 5 ways to move data from one protocol to the other. You can combine any of the following
options to customize your gateway as needed.
Option 1
–
Data Auto-Configure Mappings:
The gateway will automatically take the data type (excluding
strings) from one protocol and look for the same data type defined in the other protocol. If th
ere isn’t a
matching data type, the gateway will map the data to the largest available data type. See Data Auto-
Configure section for more details.
Option 2
–
String Auto-Configure:
The gateway will automatically take the string data type from one
protocol and map it into the other. See String Auto-Configure section for more details.
Option 3
–
Manual Configure Mappings:
If you don’t want to use the Auto
-Configure Mappings
function, you must use the manual mapping feature to configure translations.
Option 4
–
Manipulation/Scaling:
You can customize your data by using math operations, scaling, or bit
manipulation. See Data Mapping-Explanation section for more details.
Option 5
–
Move Diagnostic Information:
You can manually move diagnostic information from the
gateway to either protocol. Diagnostic information is not mapped in Auto-Configure Mappings Mode.
See Diagnostic Info section for more details.
Going from Manual Mapping to Auto-Mapping will delete ALL mappings and
manipulations configured.
