FINS Address Map

To access this map:
Expand the desired controller in the Project pane, double-clickAddress Maps, then choose FINS.

 

The FINS Address Map lists the FINS Addresses of all the externally-accessible registers in the RMC.

Browse the map to find the FINS address of any externally-accessible RMC register. If you are using an RMC200, you can add configurable address ranges to the FINS Address Map.

 

Using the Configurable Addresses

On the RMC200, use the configurable addresses if you need to access large blocks of RMC registers via FINS, and those registers are not already included in the fixed addresses (see FINS Addressing) and do not fit in the Indirect Data Map.

If you need access to a few individual registers, use the Indirect Data Map instead. You need not configure FINS addresses if you use the Indirect Data Map, since the Indirect Data Map already has FINS addresses.

Adding FINS Address Ranges

For the RMC200, you can add up to 128 configurable address blocks to the fixed address blocks.

  1. In the bottom row, in the Start Address column, enter the first FINS address you wish to use. Make sure the address conforms to the syntax described in Address Syntax below.

  2. In the Registers column, enter the number of registers. This is the number of 32-bit registers in the RMC. Notice that this will map to twice as many 16-bit FINS registers.

  3. In the Map To column, enter the area in the RMC that this address range will apply to.

  4. Repeat for additional address ranges. The rows will automatically re-order entries to keep them in numerical address order.

  5. Click the Download button to download the changes to the RMC.

FINS Address Syntax

FINS addresses must conform to the following formats listed below. Address ranges as defined by the Start Address and End Address are not allowed to overlap.

 

Example Addresses: D08400, E2_12000
