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.

Basic Functions

void industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_create(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, const char *uid, IPConnection *ipcon)
Parameters:
  • industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 – Type: IndustrialDual020mAV2 *
  • uid – Type: const char *
  • ipcon – Type: IPConnection *

Creates the device object industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 with the unique device ID uid and adds it to the IPConnection ipcon:

IndustrialDual020mAV2 industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2;
industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_create(&industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, "YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon);

This device object can be used after the IP connection has been connected.

void industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_destroy(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2)
Parameters:
  • industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 – Type: IndustrialDual020mAV2 *

Removes the device object industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 from its IPConnection and destroys it. The device object cannot be used anymore afterwards.

int industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_get_current(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, uint8_t channel, int32_t *ret_current)
Parameters:
  • industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 – Type: IndustrialDual020mAV2 *
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 1]
Output Parameters:
  • ret_current – Type: int32_t, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [0 to 22505322]
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the current of the specified channel.

It is possible to detect if an IEC 60381-1 compatible sensor is connected and if it works probably.

If the returned current is below 4mA, there is likely no sensor connected or the connected sensor is defective. If the returned current is over 20mA, there might be a short circuit or the sensor is defective.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CALLBACK_CURRENT callback. You can set the callback configuration with industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_set_current_callback_configuration().

int industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_set_channel_led_config(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, uint8_t channel, uint8_t config)
Parameters:
  • industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 – Type: IndustrialDual020mAV2 *
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 1]
  • config – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Each channel has a corresponding LED. You can turn the LED off, on or show a heartbeat. You can also set the LED to "Channel Status". In this mode the LED can either be turned on with a pre-defined threshold or the intensity of the LED can change with the measured value.

You can configure the channel status behavior with industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_set_channel_led_status_config().

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_CHANNEL_STATUS = 3
int industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_get_channel_led_config(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, uint8_t channel, uint8_t *ret_config)

Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the channel LED configuration as set by industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_set_channel_led_config()

The following constants are available for this function:

For ret_config:

  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_CHANNEL_STATUS = 3
int industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_set_channel_led_status_config(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, uint8_t channel, int32_t min, int32_t max, uint8_t config)
Parameters:
  • industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 – Type: IndustrialDual020mAV2 *
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 1]
  • min – Type: int32_t, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 4000000
  • max – Type: int32_t, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 20000000
  • config – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 1
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Sets the channel LED status config. This config is used if the channel LED is configured as "Channel Status", see industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_set_channel_led_config().

For each channel you can choose between threshold and intensity mode.

In threshold mode you can define a positive or a negative threshold. For a positive threshold set the "min" parameter to the threshold value in nA above which the LED should turn on and set the "max" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a positive threshold of 10mA, the LED will turn on as soon as the current exceeds 10mA and turn off again if it goes below 10mA. For a negative threshold set the "max" parameter to the threshold value in nA below which the LED should turn on and set the "min" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a negative threshold of 10mA, the LED will turn on as soon as the current goes below 10mA and the LED will turn off when the current exceeds 10mA.

In intensity mode you can define a range in nA that is used to scale the brightness of the LED. Example with min=4mA and max=20mA: The LED is off at 4mA and below, on at 20mA and above and the brightness is linearly scaled between the values 4mA and 20mA. If the min value is greater than the max value, the LED brightness is scaled the other way around.

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

Callback Configuration Functions

void industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_register_callback(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, int16_t callback_id, void (*function)(void), void *user_data)
Parameters:
  • industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 – Type: IndustrialDual020mAV2 *
  • callback_id – Type: int16_t
  • function – Type: void (*)(void)
  • user_data – Type: void *

Registers the given function with the given callback_id. The user_data will be passed as the last parameter to the function.

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

int industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_set_current_callback_configuration(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, uint8_t channel, uint32_t period, bool value_has_to_change, char option, int32_t min, int32_t max)
Parameters:
  • industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 – Type: IndustrialDual020mAV2 *
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 1]
  • period – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0
  • value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: false
  • option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x'
  • min – Type: int32_t, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 0
  • max – Type: int32_t, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 0
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

The period is the period with which the INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CALLBACK_CURRENT 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.

It is furthermore possible to constrain the callback with thresholds.

The option-parameter together with min/max sets a threshold for the INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CALLBACK_CURRENT callback.

The following options are possible:

Option Description
'x' Threshold is turned off
'o' Threshold is triggered when the value is outside the min and max values
'i' Threshold is triggered when the value is inside or equal to the min and max values
'<' Threshold is triggered when the value is smaller than the min value (max is ignored)
'>' Threshold is triggered when the value is greater than the min value (max is ignored)

If the option is set to 'x' (threshold turned off) the callback is triggered with the fixed period.

The following constants are available for this function:

For option:

  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'
int industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_get_current_callback_configuration(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, uint8_t channel, uint32_t *ret_period, bool *ret_value_has_to_change, char *ret_option, int32_t *ret_min, int32_t *ret_max)

Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the callback configuration as set by industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_set_current_callback_configuration().

The following constants are available for this function:

For ret_option:

  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

Callbacks

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_register_callback() function:

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

industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_register_callback(&industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2,
                                            INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_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_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CALLBACK_CURRENT
void callback(uint8_t channel, int32_t current, void *user_data)
Callback Parameters:
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 1]
  • current – Type: int32_t, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [0 to 22505322]
  • user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_set_current_callback_configuration().

The parameter is the same as industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_get_current().

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_dual_0_20ma_v2_get_api_version(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, uint8_t ret_api_version[3])
Parameters:
  • industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 – Type: IndustrialDual020mAV2 *
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_dual_0_20ma_v2_get_response_expected(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, uint8_t function_id, bool *ret_response_expected)
Parameters:
  • industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 – Type: IndustrialDual020mAV2 *
  • 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_dual_0_20ma_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_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_SET_SAMPLE_RATE = 5
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_SET_GAIN = 7
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_SET_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG = 9

  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_RESET = 243
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248
int industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_set_response_expected(IndustrialDual020mAV2 *industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)
Parameters:
  • industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2 – Type: IndustrialDual020mAV2 *
  • 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_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
  • INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_SET_SAMPLE_RATE = 5

Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

This constant is used to identify a Industrial Dual 0-20mA Bricklet 2.0.

The industrial_dual_0_20ma_v2_get_identity() function and the IPCON_CALLBACK_ENUMERATE callback of the IP Connection have a device_identifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME

This constant represents the human readable name of a Industrial Dual 0-20mA Bricklet 2.0.
