Basic Functions¶

func industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.New(uid string, ipcon *IPConnection) (device IndustrialDual020mABricklet, err error)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: string ipcon – Type: *IPConnection
Returns:	device – Type: IndustrialDual020mABricklet err – Type: error

Creates a new IndustrialDual020mABricklet object with the unique device ID uid and adds it to the IPConnection ipcon:

device, err := industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.New("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon)

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

func (*IndustrialDual020mABricklet) GetCurrent(sensor uint8) (current int32, err error)¶

Parameters:	sensor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 1]
Returns:	current – Type: int32, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [0 to 22505322] err – Type: error

Returns the current of the specified sensor.

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

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

If you want to get the current periodically, it is recommended to use the CurrentCallback callback and set the period with SetCurrentCallbackPeriod().

Advanced Functions¶

func (*IndustrialDual020mABricklet) SetSampleRate(rate uint8) (err error)¶

Parameters:	rate – Type: uint8, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:	err – Type: error

Returns:	err – Type: error

Sets the period with which the threshold callback

• CurrentReachedCallback

is triggered, if the threshold

• SetCurrentCallbackThreshold()

keeps being reached.

func (*IndustrialDual020mABricklet) GetDebouncePeriod() (debounce uint32, err error)¶

Returns:	debounce – Type: uint32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 100 err – Type: error

Returns the debounce period as set by SetDebouncePeriod().

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the corresponding Register*Callback function, which returns a unique callback ID. This ID can be used to deregister the callback later with the corresponding Deregister*Callback function.

func (*IndustrialDual020mABricklet) RegisterCurrentCallback(func(sensor uint8, current int32)) (registrationId uint64)¶

Callback Parameters:	sensor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 1] current – Type: int32, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [0 to 22505322]
Returns:	registrationId – Type: uint64

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by SetCurrentCallbackPeriod(). The callback parameter is the current of the sensor.

The CurrentCallback callback is only triggered if the current has changed since the last triggering.

func (*IndustrialDual020mABricklet) RegisterCurrentReachedCallback(func(sensor uint8, current int32)) (registrationId uint64)¶

Callback Parameters:	sensor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 1] current – Type: int32, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [0 to 22505322]
Returns:	registrationId – Type: uint64

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by SetCurrentCallbackThreshold() is reached. The callback parameter is the current of the sensor.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by SetDebouncePeriod().

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.

func (*IndustrialDual020mABricklet) GetAPIVersion() (apiVersion [3]uint8, err error)¶

Returns:	apiVersion – Type: [3]uint8 0: major – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] err – Type: error

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.

func (*IndustrialDual020mABricklet) GetResponseExpected(functionId uint8) (responseExpected bool, err error)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: uint8, Range: See constants
Returns:	responseExpected – Type: bool err – Type: error

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 SetResponseExpected(). 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 functionId:

• industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.FunctionSetCurrentCallbackPeriod = 2
• industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.FunctionSetCurrentCallbackThreshold = 4
• industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.FunctionSetDebouncePeriod = 6
• industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.FunctionSetSampleRate = 8

func (*IndustrialDual020mABricklet) SetResponseExpected(functionId uint8, responseExpected bool) (err error)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: uint8, Range: See constants responseExpected – Type: bool
Returns:	err – Type: error

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 functionId:

• industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.FunctionSetCurrentCallbackPeriod = 2
• industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.FunctionSetCurrentCallbackThreshold = 4
• industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.FunctionSetDebouncePeriod = 6
• industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.FunctionSetSampleRate = 8

func (*IndustrialDual020mABricklet) SetResponseExpectedAll(responseExpected bool) (err error)¶

Parameters:	responseExpected – Type: bool
Returns:	err – Type: error

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

Constants¶

industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.DeviceIdentifier¶

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

The GetIdentity() function and the (*IPConnection) RegisterEnumerateCallback callback of the IPConnection have a deviceIdentifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

industrial_dual_0_20ma_bricklet.DeviceDisplayName¶

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