Rule number simply tells you where you're at on the list of register maps. Click "next" and
"prev" to scroll through the list. To advance directly to a specific map, enter the desired number
in the "Map #" box, then click Update.
For each remote register to be read, enter the register type, format, number, and location
(device). The names in the device list are defined in the Devices page.
When the remote register is read, data may be manipulated before being written to the local
object. If a bit mask is entered (in hexadecimal), and the remote register type is signed or
unsigned (16-bit data), the mask will be bit-wise logical AND-ed with the data, and the retained
bits will be right justified in the result. The result will then be multiplied by the scale factor. The
offset is then added and this final result is written to the local object number given. The name is
optional and used only for display purposes.
The periodic poll time determines how often the remote register will be read. This number, if
nonzero, will override the default poll time given in the Devices page for the remote device
being read.
The default value will be stored into the local object after the given number of read failures if the
fail count is non-zero. Setting the count to zero will disable the default, and the object will retain
the most recent value obtained.
Delete will remove the rule number shown in the "Map #" box. Insert will insert a new rule
before the rule number shown, and is used for placing rules between existing rules. It is not
necessary to use Insert to add rules to the bottom of the list or to define any rule presently having
zero for a source object or "none" for remote type.
