FS-8700-41 Simplex 4100 Driver Manual
Keyword Description
As a query, the data is unpacked into the Data Array in the
format described above.
Used to send a silence signal to the Simplex device. This is a
triggered command.
Silence associated with the Map Descriptor is set to 1 then the
command is sent to the Simplex device. The driver will set the
value to zero when the command has been acknowledged.
Used to send a reset signal to the Simplex device.
This is a triggered command. When the element in the Data
Reset Array associated with the Map Descriptor is set to 1 then the
command is sent to the Simplex device. The driver will set the
value to zero when the command has been acknowledged.
Used to request revision information from the Simplex panel.
Use of this Map Descriptor is recommended as it allows the
driver to generate a warning if an unknown Simplex revision is
Revision encountered.
Make sure that the length of the Map Descriptor is sufficient to
store all the revision information. A Length of 200 is
recommended.
Use this keyword to define a Map Descriptor which tells the
driver where to store error messages received from the Simplex
device. The most recent message is stored in the Data Array
Errors
specified. Make sure that the Data Array length is long enough
to store enough meaningful information. A length of 200 is
recommended.
Map Descriptor's which use this function do two things;
Firstly, they register a c-p-s with the driver.
Secondly they define a Data Array name and element range that
must be set to zero when the ClearAll function is activated.
Up to 4 c-p-s's may be registered per FieldServer. These
registered points are monitored each time a Clist response is
ClearAll obtained as well as each time the panel sends an unsolicited
Xpoint message with a state change. If one of these messages
reports a 'U1' state for a registered point then the driver
processes all 'ClearAll' Map Descriptor's and sets all the
associated array values to zero.
An example of the use of ClearAll is provided in section 6.12
example 9.
Warm_Start Generates a warm restart message.
Cold_Start Generates a cold restart message.

If using RUINET to monitor the FieldServer,
display the Data Array associated with this
Map Descriptor in 'String' format so that
you can read the error message easily. The
driver appends information about the Map
Descriptor which generated the error to
make the error more
understandable.
Passive
Specify c-p-s in the Map Descriptor (but
