This document describes the implementation of the point map for the Metasys® protocol
on the Data Air Processor 3 (DAP3).
1.2 References
Note 1: For the control points indicated, a value of 0 means that the described status or
alarm condition is not present. A value of 1 means that the described status or
alarm condition is present.
Note 2: The “Override” column indicates which of the points can be changed using the
0x72 override command. Points marked “No” cannot be changed. Those
which are marked “Yes” can be changed with the 0x72 override command.
Note that the complete N2 override mechanism is not implemented. In
particular, we do not save away a local value when a point is overridden, we do
not set the “override active” bit in the Object Status byte, and we do not
support the override release commands.
There are three relevant command sequences associated with the Metasys Standby
operation. These are putting a DAP III into standby and taking a DAP III out of standby.
The standby control point “Unit Standby Status” is a point of type ADI with a point
address of 27. The ADI points are “Internal Integer Parameters”. By reference to the N2
System Protocol Specification, it can be determined that to read this point you must
construct a message with the following structure:
A00000020<CR>
A Start of message
00 Object Status (attribute 1)
0000 Current Value (attribute 2) A value of 0000 means normal operation
20 Checksum
When this message is sent to the DAP III during standby operation it will reply with:
A00000121<CR>
A Start of message
00 Object Status (attribute 1)
0001 Current Value (attribute 2) A value of 0001 means standby
21 Checksum
To change the Metasys standby status of a DAP III to standby operation, construct the
following command. (Refer to the Metasys N2 System Protocol Specification section
“Override Internal Parameter Command” for more information.)
DAP III unit will reply with “A” and enter standby operation.
To change the Metasys standby status of a DAP III from standby operation to normal on
(controlling) operation, construct the following command:
DAP III unit will reply with “A” and enter normal operation.
