The Node Self-
Documentation String 
defines one LonMark 
object of type 1 – Open 
Loop Sensor.  
These two configuration network variables will be linked to the first 
Map Descriptor declared. The NV_Min_Value and NV_Max_Value fields 
define the defaults for these CP’s. These defaults are loaded by the 
FieldServer after a restart only when re-commissioning is required. 
The object index is 0 and 
this Map Descriptor 
defines the 1
st
 Network 
Variable of the object. 
The Node Self-
Documentation String 
defines one LonMark 
object of type 3 – Open 
Loop Actuator.  
These two configuration network variables will be 
linked to the first Map Descriptor declared. The 
NV_Min_Value and NV_Max_Value fields define the 
defaults for these CP’s. These defaults are loaded by 
the FieldServer after a restart only when re-
commissioning is required. 
The object index is 0 and 
this Map Descriptor 
defines the 1
st
 Network 
Variable of the object.
