Mapping - Transferring Data between Devices
There are 5 ways to move data from one protocol to the other. You can combine any of the following
options to customize your gateway as needed.
Option 1 – Data Auto-Map: The gateway will automatically take the data type (excluding strings) from
one protocol and look for the same data type defined in the other protocol. If there isn’t a matching
data type, the gateway will map the data to the largest available data type. See Data Auto-Map section
for more details.
Option 2 – String Auto-Map: The gateway will automatically take the string data type from one protocol
and map it into the other. See String Auto-Map section for more details.
Option 3 – Manual Map: If you don’t want to use the Auto-Map function, you must use the manual
mapping feature to configure translations.
Option 4 – Manipulation/Scaling: You can customize your data by using math operations, scaling, or bit
manipulation. See Data Mapping-Explanation section for more details.
Option 5 – Move Diagnostic Information: You can manually move diagnostic information from the
gateway to either protocol. Diagnostic Information is not mapped in Auto-Map mode. See Diagnostic
Info section for more details.
