The global TLP definitions made available to the EFM Emerson ROC module.  They are uploaded to the Ignition instance in the form of specifically formatted CSV files.  These TLP definitions can be reference by the configurations of the individual ROC devices that they apply to. A single Ignition Gateway may contain multiple global TLP definitions files that are used to configure different device types where the actual point types & parameters of the individual TLPs may differ across the different files and device types.

The configuration mapping files are used for building up EFM Configuration Records. They define which TLPs map to which fields (columns) in an EFM Configuration Record.  Additionally they can provide bit and/or value mappings for the TLP values. They are uploaded to the Ignition instance in the form of specifically formatted CSV files. 

These are a subset of the global TLP definition files that apply to a specific device.

TLP templates are logical groupings of TLPs.  Generally TLP templates would be created so that instances of them can be used by specifying a poll group with a logical number (the 'L' parameter in a TLP).

Poll groups use TLP templates in conjunction with a logical number to create a specific set of TLPs to be polled at a specified poll rate.
