Object numbers start at #1. The maximum available number varies by object type, and these limits may be found on
the System Capacities link from the home/index page (click graphic at top).
Rule number simply tells you where you're at on the list of object 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 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. Use index value of 0 if no index.
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, then the offset is added. The 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 object 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 map before the map number
shown, and is used for placing maps between existing maps. It is not necessary to use Insert to add maps to the bottom of
the list or to define any map presently having zero for a source object or "none" for remote type.
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. If you wish to prevent these from being displayed,
reduce the number of maps enabled.
