Counters and Flags can be used to link or interface to and between 3rd party systems.
For example, if Flag 1 is mapped to a KNX 1-bit object, and the same Flag is mapped to a Modbus Register, then this flags links the KNX and Modbus object together. That means that changing the state of the KNX object will also cause the Modbus register to be changed to the same state.
Also changing tne state of the flag from a Comfort Response will change the state of both the KNX and Modbus Object.
The same applies to Counters which are 16 bit registers (whereas Flags are 1 bit binary objects
This applies to any pair of 3rd party systems eg KNX to Cbus, Cbus to Modbus, KNX to Universal UCM etc. It can also be applicable for 3 or more 3rd party systsmes eg KNX, Cbus and Modbus can be mapped to he same Flag or Counter.
