Chapter 6 Micro870 Controller Distributed Network Protocol
When these values are configured properly according to the supported data
files, the controller responds with a Group 87, Variation 1 object filled with the
value in the data file. Table 9 on page 113
shows the supported data files for the
Point Addressing.
When the Descriptor Code is selected as PTYP, the Point Addressing
parameters for the Descriptor element are replaced by 10 Point Addressing
parameters. These should be configured in the same order of the DAEL
elements in the relevant Prototypes.
For instance, if Prototype 0 includes a Namespace at Index 3 and Name at
Index 4, then the first DAEL in the Prototype 0 is at Index 5.
