Clicking on "Traps" under the group node, displays a table to create traps. The creation of a trap is quite similar to an Alarm in IntegraXor. Traps are sent to an IP address when a certain condition is met.
The tags set within the traps does not need to be mapped in the tag mapping section but by doing so, the current values of the tag could also be read if needed.
