Acknowledge
Select this checkbox to allow the mapping to be acknowledged when the end device receives the message. This is an
end-to-end acknowledgment, and is in addition to the normal hop-by-hop frame acknowledgment between links.
Note
: Enabling this option will increase the amount of radio communications and care should be taken in
larger systems.
Update Time
Configures how often the mapping update messages (check signals) are sent. These messages are in addition to the
normal change-of-state updates that occur when an input changes.
The default update time is 10 minutes, but you can increase the update time to a maximum of over two weeks, or
decrease it to a minimum of one second. Updates can also be disabled by entering a time of zero or selecting the
checkbox. Note that the updates are only a check signal, and care should be taken when configuring the update values
with short update times (less than 5 seconds) because this will greatly increase the amount of radio traffic.
Response Time
(Read mappings only.) The countdown time before the module registers a communications failure for the configured
read mapping. When the timeout is complete, the fail register is activated.
Fail Register
Allows you to configure a register location that will indicate a communication failure for the configured remote
destination address.
Note
: The Acknowledge checkbox must be selected for fail registers to work. Also, the fail register can only be a
digital output or internal bit registers (10501, 501, and so on).
Enable Mapping
Select the checkbox to enable this mapping.

Invert
When this checkbox is selected, the signal is inverted before being sent to the remote end. For analog signals, the
output signal is inverted around the 12 mA level. For example, after inverting a 12 mA signal is unchanged, an 8 mA
signal gives 16 mA, a 4 mA signal gives 20 m, and so on.
Offset Time
Configures an offset time for the update mapping. The offset is used to stagger the update transmissions at startup
and at every update period so that the module does not send all mappings at the same time. The default is 0. To
stagger transmissions to a predetermined schedule, set a different offset time value for each mapping, and clear
the “Reset Update Timer” flag and the “Change of State Enable” flag for these mappings.
Change of State
Enable
When the Enable checkbox is selected, the values are sent to their configured destination when a change-of-state
(COS) occurs and the value complies with any sensitivity blocks. If COS is disabled, messages will only be sent on
the update period.
Delay
Allows you to set the time period during which the message is delayed from being sent. The purpose is to reduce
the amount of radio traffic by holding off the transmission to allow more I/O COS to the mapping.
Reset Update Timer
If this option is selected, the Update Time period will reset when a COS occurs between configured updates. This
means that the next update will not be sent until a further update period has elapsed. You can use this option to
reduce the amount of radio traffic produced when multiple mappings are configured.
