API

Most functions of the C/C++ bindings return an error code (e_code). Data returned from the device, when a getter is called, is handled via output parameters. These parameters are labeled with the ret_ prefix.

Possible error codes are:

  • E_OK = 0
  • E_TIMEOUT = -1
  • E_NO_STREAM_SOCKET = -2
  • E_HOSTNAME_INVALID = -3
  • E_NO_CONNECT = -4
  • E_NO_THREAD = -5
  • E_NOT_ADDED = -6 (unused since C/C++ bindings version 2.0.0)
  • E_ALREADY_CONNECTED = -7
  • E_NOT_CONNECTED = -8
  • E_INVALID_PARAMETER = -9
  • E_NOT_SUPPORTED = -10
  • E_UNKNOWN_ERROR_CODE = -11
  • E_STREAM_OUT_OF_SYNC = -12
  • E_INVALID_UID = -13
  • E_NON_ASCII_CHAR_IN_SECRET = -14
  • E_WRONG_DEVICE_TYPE = -15
  • E_DEVICE_REPLACED = -16
  • E_WRONG_RESPONSE_LENGTH = -17

as defined in ip_connection.h.

All functions listed below are thread-safe.

Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

This callback can be configured per channel.

The period is the period with which the INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CALLBACK_VALUE callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

If the value has to change-parameter is set to true, the callback is only triggered after the value has changed. If the value didn't change within the period, the callback is triggered immediately on change.

If it is set to false, the callback is continuously triggered with the period, independent of the value.

Output Parameters:
  • ret_period – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0
  • ret_value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: false
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the callback configuration for the given channel as set by industrial_digital_in_4_v2_set_value_callback_configuration().

The following constants are available for this function:

For channel:

  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CHANNEL_0 = 0
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CHANNEL_1 = 1
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CHANNEL_2 = 2

int industrial_digital_in_4_v2_set_all_value_callback_configuration(IndustrialDigitalIn4V2 *industrial_digital_in_4_v2, uint32_t period, bool value_has_to_change)
Parameters:
  • industrial_digital_in_4_v2 – Type: IndustrialDigitalIn4V2 *
  • period – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0
  • value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: false
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

The period is the period with which the INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CALLBACK_ALL_VALUE callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

If the value has to change-parameter is set to true, the callback is only triggered after the value has changed. If the value didn't change within the period, the callback is triggered immediately on change.

If it is set to false, the callback is continuously triggered with the period, independent of the value.

int industrial_digital_in_4_v2_get_all_value_callback_configuration(IndustrialDigitalIn4V2 *industrial_digital_in_4_v2, uint32_t *ret_period, bool *ret_value_has_to_change)
Parameters:
  • industrial_digital_in_4_v2 – Type: IndustrialDigitalIn4V2 *
Output Parameters:
  • ret_period – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0
  • ret_value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: false
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the callback configuration as set by industrial_digital_in_4_v2_set_all_value_callback_configuration().

Callbacks

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the industrial_digital_in_4_v2_register_callback() function:

void my_callback(int value, void *user_data) {
    printf("Value: %d\n", value);
}

industrial_digital_in_4_v2_register_callback(&industrial_digital_in_4_v2,
                                             INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CALLBACK_EXAMPLE,
                                             (void (*)(void))my_callback,
                                             NULL);

The available constants with corresponding function signatures are described below.

Note

Using callbacks for recurring events is always preferred compared to using getters. It will use less USB bandwidth and the latency will be a lot better, since there is no round trip time.

INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CALLBACK_VALUE
void callback(uint8_t channel, bool changed, bool value, void *user_data)
Callback Parameters:
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
  • changed – Type: bool
  • value – Type: bool
  • user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by industrial_digital_in_4_v2_set_value_callback_configuration().

The parameters are the channel, a value-changed indicator and the actual value for the channel. The changed parameter is true if the value has changed since the last callback.

The following constants are available for this function:

For channel:

  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CHANNEL_0 = 0
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CHANNEL_1 = 1
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CHANNEL_2 = 2
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CHANNEL_3 = 3
INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_CALLBACK_ALL_VALUE
void callback(bool changed[4], bool value[4], void *user_data)
Callback Parameters:
  • changed – Type: bool[4]
  • value – Type: bool[4]
  • user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by industrial_digital_in_4_v2_set_all_value_callback_configuration().

The parameters are the same as industrial_digital_in_4_v2_get_value(). Additional the changed parameter is true if the value has changed since the last callback.

Virtual Functions

Virtual functions don't communicate with the device itself, but operate only on the API bindings device object. They can be called without the corresponding IP Connection object being connected.

int industrial_digital_in_4_v2_get_api_version(IndustrialDigitalIn4V2 *industrial_digital_in_4_v2, uint8_t ret_api_version[3])
Parameters:
  • industrial_digital_in_4_v2 – Type: IndustrialDigitalIn4V2 *
Output Parameters:
  • ret_api_version – Type: uint8_t[3]
    • 0: major – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: revision – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the version of the API definition implemented by this API bindings. This is neither the release version of this API bindings nor does it tell you anything about the represented Brick or Bricklet.

int industrial_digital_in_4_v2_get_response_expected(IndustrialDigitalIn4V2 *industrial_digital_in_4_v2, uint8_t function_id, bool *ret_response_expected)
Parameters:
  • industrial_digital_in_4_v2 – Type: IndustrialDigitalIn4V2 *
  • function_id – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Output Parameters:
  • ret_response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the response expected flag for the function specified by the function ID parameter. It is true if the function is expected to send a response, false otherwise.

For getter functions this is enabled by default and cannot be disabled, because those functions will always send a response. For callback configuration functions it is enabled by default too, but can be disabled by industrial_digital_in_4_v2_set_response_expected(). For setter functions it is disabled by default and can be enabled.

Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

The following constants are available for this function:

For function_id:

  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_FUNCTION_SET_VALUE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_FUNCTION_SET_ALL_VALUE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 4
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_FUNCTION_SET_EDGE_COUNT_CONFIGURATION = 7
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_FUNCTION_SET_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG = 9
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_FUNCTION_RESET = 243
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248
int industrial_digital_in_4_v2_set_response_expected(IndustrialDigitalIn4V2 *industrial_digital_in_4_v2, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)
Parameters:
  • industrial_digital_in_4_v2 – Type: IndustrialDigitalIn4V2 *
  • function_id – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
  • response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Changes the response expected flag of the function specified by the function ID parameter. This flag can only be changed for setter (default value: false) and callback configuration functions (default value: true). For getter functions it is always enabled.

Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

The following constants are available for this function:

For function_id:

  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_FUNCTION_SET_VALUE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
  • INDUSTRIAL_DIGITAL_IN_4_V2_FUNCTION_SET_ALL_VALUE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 4

  • response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.

Internal Functions

Internal functions are used for maintenance tasks such as flashing a new firmware of changing the UID of a Bricklet. These task should be performed using Brick Viewer instead of using the internal functions directly.
