Parameters:	$channel – Type: int, Range: See constants $reset_counter – Type: bool
Returns:	$count – Type: int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns the current value of the edge counter for the selected channel. You can configure the edges that are counted with set_edge_count_configuration().

If you set the reset counter to true, the count is set back to 0 directly after it is read.

The following constants are available for this function:

For $channel:

• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_0 = 0
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_1 = 1
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_2 = 2

Configures the edge counter for a specific channel.

The edge type parameter configures if rising edges, falling edges or both are counted. Possible edge types are:

• 0 = rising
• 1 = falling
• 2 = both

Configuring an edge counter resets its value to 0.

If you don't know what any of this means, just leave it at default. The default configuration is very likely OK for you.

The following constants are available for this function:

The errors counts are for errors that occur on the Bricklet side. All Bricks have a similar function that returns the errors on the Brick side.

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->set_status_led_config($config)¶

Parameters:	$config – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:	undef

Sets the status LED configuration. By default the LED shows communication traffic between Brick and Bricklet, it flickers once for every 10 received data packets.

You can also turn the LED permanently on/off or show a heartbeat.

If the Bricklet is in bootloader mode, the LED is will show heartbeat by default.

The following constants are available for this function:

For $config:

• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2

Returns:	$temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1]

Returns the temperature as measured inside the microcontroller. The value returned is not the ambient temperature!

The temperature is only proportional to the real temperature and it has bad accuracy. Practically it is only useful as an indicator for temperature changes.

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->reset()¶

Returns:	undef

Calling this function will reset the Bricklet. All configurations will be lost.

After a reset you have to create new device objects, calling functions on the existing ones will result in undefined behavior!

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->get_identity()¶

Return Array:

0: $uid – Type: string, Length: up to 8 1: $connected_uid – Type: string, Length: up to 8 2: $position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z'] 3: \@hardware_version – Type: [int, ...], Length: 3 0: $major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 1: $minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 2: $revision – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 4: \@firmware_version – Type: [int, ...], Length: 3 0: $major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 1: $minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 2: $revision – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 5: $device_identifier – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

The position can be 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' or 'h' (Bricklet Port). A Bricklet connected to an Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.

The device identifier numbers can be found here. There is also a constant for the device identifier of this Bricklet.

Callback Configuration Functions¶

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->register_callback($callback_id, $function)¶

Parameters:	$callback_id – Type: int $function – Type: string
Returns:	undef

Registers the given $function name with the given $callback_id.

The available callback IDs with corresponding function signatures are listed below.

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->set_value_callback_configuration($channel, $period, $value_has_to_change)¶

Parameters:	$channel – Type: int, Range: See constants $period – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 $value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: 0
Returns:	undef

This callback can be configured per channel.

The period is the period with which the 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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For $channel:

• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_0 = 0
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_1 = 1
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_2 = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_3 = 3

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->get_value_callback_configuration($channel)¶

Parameters:	$channel – Type: int, Range: See constants
Return Array:	0: $period – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 1: $value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: 0

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

The following constants are available for this function:

For $channel:

• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_0 = 0
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_1 = 1
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_2 = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_3 = 3

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->set_all_value_callback_configuration($period, $value_has_to_change)¶

Parameters:	$period – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 $value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: 0
Returns:	undef

The period is the period with which the 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.

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->get_all_value_callback_configuration()¶

Return Array:	0: $period – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 1: $value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: 0

Returns the callback configuration as set by 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 register_callback() function of the device object. The first parameter is the callback ID and the second parameter the callback function name:

sub my_callback
{
    print "@_[0]";
}

$industrial_digital_in_4_v2->register_callback(BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CALLBACK_EXAMPLE, 'my_callback')

The callback function will be called from an internal thread of the IP Connection. In contrast to many other programming languages, variables are not automatically shared between threads in Perl. If you want to share a global variable between a callback function and the rest for your program it has to be marked as :shared. See the documentation of the threads::shared Perl module for more details.

The available constants with inherent number and type of parameters are described below.

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CALLBACK_VALUE¶

Callback Parameters:	$channel – Type: int, Range: See constants $changed – Type: bool $value – Type: bool

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by 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:

• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_0 = 0
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_1 = 1
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_2 = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CHANNEL_3 = 3

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->CALLBACK_ALL_VALUE¶

Callback Parameters:	\@changed – Type: [bool, ...], Length: 4 \@value – Type: [bool, ...], Length: 4

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

The parameters are the same as 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.

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->get_api_version()¶

Return Array:	0: \@api_version – Type: [int, ...], Length: 3 0: $major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 1: $minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 2: $revision – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]

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.

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->get_response_expected($function_id)¶

Parameters:	$function_id – Type: int, Range: See constants
Returns:	$response_expected – Type: bool

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 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:

• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_VALUE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_ALL_VALUE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 4
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_EDGE_COUNT_CONFIGURATION = 7
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG = 9
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_RESET = 243
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->set_response_expected($function_id, $response_expected)¶

Parameters:	$function_id – Type: int, Range: See constants $response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	undef

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:

• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_VALUE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_ALL_VALUE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 4
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_EDGE_COUNT_CONFIGURATION = 7
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG = 9
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_RESET = 243
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->set_response_expected_all($response_expected)¶

Parameters:	$response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	undef

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.

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->set_bootloader_mode($mode)¶

Parameters:	$mode – Type: int, Range: See constants
Returns:	$status – Type: int, Range: See constants

• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
• BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->set_write_firmware_pointer($pointer)¶

Parameters:	$pointer – Type: int, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Returns:	undef

Sets the firmware pointer for write_firmware(). The pointer has to be increased by chunks of size 64. The data is written to flash every 4 chunks (which equals to one page of size 256).

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->write_firmware(\@data)¶

Parameters:	\@data – Type: [int, ...], Length: 64, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	$status – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by set_write_firmware_pointer() before. The firmware is written to flash every 4 chunks.

You can only write firmware in bootloader mode.

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->write_uid($uid)¶

Parameters:	$uid – Type: int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Returns:	undef

Writes a new UID into flash. If you want to set a new UID you have to decode the Base58 encoded UID string into an integer first.

We recommend that you use Brick Viewer to change the UID.

BrickletIndustrialDigitalIn4V2->read_uid()¶

Returns:	$uid – Type: int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns the current UID as an integer. Encode as Base58 to get the usual string version.
