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¶

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay * uid – Type: const char * ipcon – Type: IPConnection *

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

IndustrialDualACRelay industrial_dual_ac_relay;
industrial_dual_ac_relay_create(&industrial_dual_ac_relay, "YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon);

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

void industrial_dual_ac_relay_destroy(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay)¶

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay *

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

Advanced Functions¶

int industrial_dual_ac_relay_set_monoflop(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay, uint8_t channel, bool value, uint32_t time)¶

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay * channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 1] value – Type: bool time – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

The first parameter can be 0 or 1 (relay 0 or relay 1). The second parameter is the desired state of the relay (true means on and false means off). The third parameter indicates the time that the relay should hold the state.

If this function is called with the parameters (1, true, 1500): Relay 1 will turn on and in 1.5s it will turn off again.

A monoflop can be used as a failsafe mechanism. For example: Lets assume you have a RS485 bus and a Industrial Dual AC Relay Bricklet connected to one of the slave stacks. You can now call this function every second, with a time parameter of two seconds. The relay will be on all the time. If now the RS485 connection is lost, the relay will turn off in at most two seconds.

int industrial_dual_ac_relay_get_monoflop(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay, uint8_t channel, bool *ret_value, uint32_t *ret_time, uint32_t *ret_time_remaining)¶

Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns (for the given relay) the current state and the time as set by industrial_dual_ac_relay_set_monoflop() as well as the remaining time until the state flips.

If the timer is not running currently, the remaining time will be returned as 0.

int industrial_dual_ac_relay_set_selected_value(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay, uint8_t channel, bool value)¶

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay * channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 1] value – Type: bool
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Sets the state of the selected relay, true means on and false means off.

A running monoflop timer for the selected relay will be aborted if this function is called.

The other relay remains untouched.

int industrial_dual_ac_relay_get_spitfp_error_count(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay, uint32_t *ret_error_count_ack_checksum, uint32_t *ret_error_count_message_checksum, uint32_t *ret_error_count_frame, uint32_t *ret_error_count_overflow)¶

The errors are divided into

ACK checksum errors,
message checksum errors,
framing errors and
overflow errors.

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.

int industrial_dual_ac_relay_set_status_led_config(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay, uint8_t config)¶

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay * config – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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:

INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay *
Output Parameters:	ret_temperature – Type: int16_t, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-2¹⁵ to 2¹⁵ - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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.

int industrial_dual_ac_relay_reset(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay)¶

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay *
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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!

int industrial_dual_ac_relay_get_identity(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay, char ret_uid[8], char ret_connected_uid[8], char *ret_position, uint8_t ret_hardware_version[3], uint8_t ret_firmware_version[3], uint16_t *ret_device_identifier)¶

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¶

void industrial_dual_ac_relay_register_callback(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay, int16_t callback_id, void (*function)(void), void *user_data)¶

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay * 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.

Callbacks¶

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

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

industrial_dual_ac_relay_register_callback(&industrial_dual_ac_relay,
                                           INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_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_AC_RELAY_CALLBACK_MONOFLOP_DONE¶

void callback(uint8_t channel, bool value, void *user_data)

Callback Parameters:	channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 1] value – Type: bool user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered whenever a monoflop timer reaches 0. The parameters contain the relay and the current state of the relay (the state after the monoflop).

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_ac_relay_get_api_version(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay, uint8_t ret_api_version[3])¶

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay *
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_ac_relay_get_response_expected(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay, uint8_t function_id, bool *ret_response_expected)¶

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay * 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_ac_relay_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_AC_RELAY_FUNCTION_SET_VALUE = 1
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_FUNCTION_SET_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG = 3
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_FUNCTION_SET_MONOFLOP = 5
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_FUNCTION_SET_SELECTED_VALUE = 8

INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_FUNCTION_RESET = 243
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

int industrial_dual_ac_relay_set_response_expected(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)¶

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay * 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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For function_id:

INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_FUNCTION_SET_VALUE = 1
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_FUNCTION_SET_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG = 3
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_FUNCTION_SET_MONOFLOP = 5

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay * 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.

int industrial_dual_ac_relay_set_bootloader_mode(IndustrialDualACRelay *industrial_dual_ac_relay, uint8_t mode, uint8_t *ret_status)¶

Parameters:	industrial_dual_ac_relay – Type: IndustrialDualACRelay * mode – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Output Parameters:	ret_status – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Constants¶

INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_AC_RELAY_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Industrial Dual AC Relay Bricklet.

The industrial_dual_ac_relay_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_AC_RELAY_DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶: This constant represents the human readable name of a Industrial Dual AC Relay Bricklet.
