7.2 BACnet Client Read Maps
Map 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 "Showing" box, then click Update.
Maps entered on this page only read data from remote devices. Go to the Client Write Map to write data to those devices.
The full parameter set is different for read versus write.
An abbreviated version of a list of maps is shown on this page. Any of the parameters shown may be changed here and
registered by clicking the Update button. To view and/or modify the complete set of parameters, click on the map
number in the left most column.
For each remote object to be read, enter the object instance and type, and location (device). The names in the device list
are defined in the Devices page.
When the remote object is read, data may be manipulated before being written to the local object. The value will be
multiplied by the scale factor. The final result is written to the local object number given. The name is optional and used
only for display purposes.
Selecting "none" for remote type effectively deletes the map even though it will still appear in the list until deleted.
Unused maps at the end of the list will always show none as the type.
Local Object is internally a coded number consisting of BACnet object type multiplied by 1000, then added to the object
number starting from #1. These are translated into abbreviations that are easy to interpret on the web page as follows:
AI n = Analog Input #n
AO n = Analog Output #n
AV n = Analog Value #n
BI n = Binary Input #n
BO n = Binary Output #n
BV n = Binary Value #n
MI n = Multi-state Input #n
MO n = Multi-state Output #n
MV n = Multi-state Value #n
