Links the named control and measurement points to the selected resource communication model.

## In plain English

### What this block does

Links the named control and measurement points to the selected resource communication model.

### A simple example

In a microgrid control room, the operator can see source availability, active constraints and current operating mode. A communication failure should remain distinguishable from an electrical resource failure. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Resource point definitions” at the input and “Mapped site-control data” at the output. Units and sign conventions must be preserved.

### What the drawings help you do

Start at the named input: Resource point definitions. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Mapped site-control data. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

### Terms

- Input: Resource point definitions
- Output: Mapped site-control data
- Application reference: An explanation of a named drawing function or circuit relationship; the project documents define the equipment and its connections.

## What it represents

Links the named control and measurement points to the selected resource communication model. Microgrid supervision coordinates measurements, control authority and resource communication without replacing local protection. Each resource value needs a named measurement boundary, freshness condition and intended control use.
In a microgrid control room, the operator can see source availability, active constraints and current operating mode.

Identify signal ownership, quality flags, control priority and loss-of-data behavior. These functional references do not certify cyber security, closed-loop performance or equipment interoperability. The functional block is an independent explanation of this named application. Equipment-specific ratings, terminal connections and operating conditions must be established in the project documentation.

## How to read it

- Start at the named input: Resource point definitions. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing.
- Follow the named output: Mapped site-control data. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.
- Units and sign conventions must be preserved.
- Identify signal ownership, quality flags, control priority and loss-of-data behavior. These functional references do not certify cyber security, closed-loop performance or equipment interoperability.

## Information to show or reference

- Label the source and connection reference for resource point definitions.
- Identify the destination and defined state of mapped site-control data.
- Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
- Check this application limit in the project design: Units and sign conventions must be preserved.

## Important distinction

Units and sign conventions must be preserved. This reference describes the named application; it does not establish a new IEC graphical symbol, an ANSI device-function number or an exact manufacturer connection diagram.

## Facts

- Representation: Functional block
- Installation focus: Microgrids
- Input / boundary: Resource point definitions
- Output / connection: Mapped site-control data
- Lookup label: MRDMB is a library lookup label, not a standard device designation.
