Map Descriptor Example 1 – Sensor / Module Events If messages from Loop 1, Module 1 to 99 are received then the MD in this example will be used for storage. If you have modules on more than one loop then you will need one MD for each loop. In this example the event type was set to ‘Alarm’. This means that only ‘Alarm’ events will be stored using this MD. This could be useful if you are only interested I one category of

The example would work for all other point types. In the example, both primary and secondary storage Data Arrays have been specified. The driver stores index values in the primary array. Each new event for a particular relay will overwrite the value stored previously. In the Bit Array, the driver sets the bit corresponding
