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:
as defined in ip_connection.h
.
All functions listed below are thread-safe.
industrial_dual_analog_in_create
(IndustrialDualAnalogIn *industrial_dual_analog_in, const char *uid, IPConnection *ipcon)¶Parameters: |
|
---|

with the unique device ID uid
and adds
it to the IPConnection ipcon
:
IndustrialDualAnalogIn industrial_dual_analog_in;
industrial_dual_analog_in_create(&industrial_dual_analog_in, "YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon);
This device object can be used after the IP connection has been connected.
industrial_dual_analog_in_destroy

If you want to get the voltage periodically, it is recommended to use the
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_ANALOG_IN_CALLBACK_VOLTAGE
callback and set the period with
industrial_dual_analog_in_set_voltage_callback_period()
.

|
Sets the period with which the INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_ANALOG_IN_CALLBACK_VOLTAGE
callback is triggered
periodically for the given channel. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the
device. The registration is done with the industrial_dual_analog_in_register_callback()
function:
void my_callback(int value, void *user_data) { printf("Value: %d\n", value); } industrial_dual_analog_in_register_callback(&industrial_dual_analog_in, INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_ANALOG_IN_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_ANALOG_IN_CALLBACK_VOLTAGE
¶void callback(uint8_t channel, int32_t voltage, void *user_data)
Callback Parameters: |
|
---|
This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by
industrial_dual_analog_in_set_voltage_callback_period()
. The parameter is the voltage of the
channel.
The INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_ANALOG_IN_CALLBACK_VOLTAGE
callback is only triggered if the voltage has changed since the
last triggering.
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_ANALOG_IN_CALLBACK_VOLTAGE_REACHED
¶void callback(uint8_t channel, int32_t voltage, void *user_data)
Callback Parameters: |
|
---|
This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by
industrial_dual_analog_in_set_voltage_callback_threshold()
is reached.
The parameter is the voltage of the channel.
If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically
with the period as set by industrial_dual_analog_in_set_debounce_period()
.
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.
industrial_dual_analog_in_get_api_version
(IndustrialDualAnalogIn *industrial_dual_analog_in, uint8_t ret_api_version[3])¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output Parameters: |
|
Returns: |
|
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.
industrial_dual_analog_in_get_response_expected
(IndustrialDualAnalogIn *industrial_dual_analog_in, uint8_t function_id, bool *ret_response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output Parameters: |
|
Returns: |
|
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_analog_in_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_analog_in_set_response_expected
(IndustrialDualAnalogIn *industrial_dual_analog_in, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
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_analog_in_set_response_expected_all
(IndustrialDualAnalogIn *industrial_dual_analog_in, bool response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.
INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_ANALOG_IN_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER
¶This constant is used to identify a Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet.
The industrial_dual_analog_in_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_ANALOG_IN_DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME
¶This constant represents the human readable name of a Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet.
