4.8. Map Descriptor Example 4 – Start / Stop Counting.
In this example the driver sends a command to start or stop the field device from counting based on the value found in the Data Array
element. If the value is non-zero, the field device will be commanded to start counting. If the value is zero, the field device will be commanded to stop counting. In this example the function is set to wrbx which means the command message will be sent each time
the value found at the specified offset in the specified Data Array is updated even if it is not changed.
