1.1.2 Mapping Parameter
Advantages about using mapping parameters are listed below:
1. Quickly read and write: It allows users to consecutively read and write communication
addresses of different parameter groups that are not jointed.
2. Read any parameters from PC scope: PC scope channel can read mapping parameters; it can
read any parameters via mapping parameters.
3. Enable the function of reading parameter value after password is set: users may access the
parameter that is going to be monitored via mapping parameter. Then, users may still read its
value via mapping parameter when a parameter is set with password.
ASDA-A2 can map any of the parameters to the specified address. In ASDA-A2 system, 8
groups of mapping parameters are available: P0-35 ~ P0-42 is the index group, the parameter
value specified by the index group will be mapped to P0-25 ~ P0-32 respectively. See Figure 1.5,
the input value of P0-35 ~ P0-42 is in hexadecimal format.

Figure 1.5 Mapping Parameters
Besides parameter setting, mapping parameter can also be set via Status Monitor in ASDA-Soft,
which shown in Figure 1.6.
8 groups of mapping parameter are organized together in Status Monitor. Steps to setup are
shown below:
1. Select the mapping parameter that is going to be used.
2. Use the drop-down list to select the parameter to be mapped.
3. If “32-bit” is selected, the high-word item will be blocked to insure the doubleword is mapped
correctly, and all bits of the mapping parameters are used to display in the same parameter.
