Keyword Description Function
Value
Stores analog value(s) read from a particular devicewithout
scaling or units. When more than one value is reported the
driver stores the values in consecutive array elements.
Ensure that the Map Descriptor’s usage of the Data Arrays
is spaced appropriately.
RDBC
Specify c-p-s in the
Map Descriptor.
Show
Each type of Simplex device reports a different set of
attributes and attribute states/values. Refer to Appendix
A.8 for more information. The driver analyses the response
from the poll. When an attribute is recognized, the attribute
state is evaluated. If this is recognized then the driver
stores a value, corresponding to the attribute state, at an
array location corresponding to the attribute. 4.4 provides
additional information. The driver can only recognize
attributes and attribute states that it is programmed to
recognize.
Using the information provided in Appendix A.8, set the
length of the Map Descriptor equal to array position of
highest attribute.
Ensure that Map Descriptors using this function do not use
overlapping areas of the Data Arrays. See example in
Appendix A.19.
RDBC
Specify c-p-s in the
Map Descriptor.
Setd
This command allows the user to manipulate the status
and/or priority of a control point
The port access level must be set appropriately in the
Simplex device otherwise the device returns an error.
WRBC
Specify c-p-s in the
Map Descriptor.
Seta
This command allows the user to:
• Manipulate the status and/or priority of a control point
• Modify the value of an analog pseudo point.
• Set the sensitivity of a TrueAlarm sensor
• Set the rate-of-rise threshold of a TrueAlarm heat
sensor
• Select the audio channel of a speaker circuit
WRBC
Specify c-p-s in the
Map Descriptor.
Xpoint
Point Status Change. This is an unsolicited message sent
automatically by a Simplex device to report a change in
point status. The card-point-sub is used to calculate an
offset into the associated Data Array. Read Appendix A.4 to
understand this better.
The state being reported determines the value being written
into the Data Array. Read Appendix A.5 to understand this
better.
Passive
Specify c-p-s in the
Map Descriptor.
Disable Not Implemented
Restart Not Implemented
Time
This command sets and displays the time and date in
"user" format.
As a command it sets the hour minute second of the
Simplex device by getting the values from the Data Array
associated with the Map Descriptor. The first element
contains the hour, the second the minute and the third
contains the second. A 24 hour clock is assumed.
As a query, the data is unpacked into the Data Array in the
same format as described above.
RDBC (Query) or
WRBC (Set)
Do not specify c-p-s in
the Map Descriptor.
