API¶

Most functions of the C/C++ bindings for microcontrollers return an error code (e_code).

Possible error codes are:

TF_E_OK = 0
TF_E_TIMEOUT = -1
TF_E_INVALID_PARAMETER = -2
TF_E_NOT_SUPPORTED = -3
TF_E_UNKNOWN_ERROR_CODE = -4
TF_E_STREAM_OUT_OF_SYNC = -5
TF_E_INVALID_CHAR_IN_UID = -6
TF_E_UID_TOO_LONG = -7
TF_E_UID_OVERFLOW = -8
TF_E_TOO_MANY_DEVICES = -9
TF_E_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND = -10
TF_E_WRONG_DEVICE_TYPE = -11
TF_E_LOCKED = -12
TF_E_PORT_NOT_FOUND = -13

(as defined in errors.h) as well as the errors returned from the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) that is used.

Use :cpp:func`tf_hal_strerror` (defined in the HAL's header file) to get an error string for an error code.

Data returned from the device, when a getter is called, is handled via output parameters. These parameters are labeled with the ret_ prefix. The bindings will not write to an output parameter if NULL or nullptr is passed. This can be used to ignore outputs that you are not interested in.

None of the functions listed below are thread-safe. See the API bindings description for details.

Basic Functions¶

int tf_industrial_ptc_create(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, const char *uid_or_port_name, TF_HAL *hal)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC * uid – Type: const char * hal – Type: TF_HAL *
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Creates the device object industrial_ptc with the optional unique device ID or port name uid_or_port_name and adds it to the HAL hal:

TF_IndustrialPTC industrial_ptc;
tf_industrial_ptc_create(&industrial_ptc, NULL, &hal);

Normally uid_or_port_name can stay NULL. For more details about this see section UID or Port Name.

int tf_industrial_ptc_destroy(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC *
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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

int tf_industrial_ptc_get_temperature(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, int32_t *ret_temperature)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC *
Output Parameters:	ret_temperature – Type: int32_t, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-24600 to 84900]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the temperature of the connected sensor.

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

int tf_industrial_ptc_get_resistance(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, int32_t *ret_resistance)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC *
Output Parameters:	ret_resistance – Type: int32_t, Unit: ? Ω, Range: [-2³¹ to 2³¹ - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the value as measured by the MAX31865 precision delta-sigma ADC.

The value can be converted with the following formulas:

Pt100: resistance = (value * 390) / 32768
Pt1000: resistance = (value * 3900) / 32768

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

int tf_industrial_ptc_is_sensor_connected(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, bool *ret_connected)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC *
Output Parameters:	ret_connected – Type: bool
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns true if the sensor is connected correctly.

If this function returns false, there is either no Pt100 or Pt1000 sensor connected, the sensor is connected incorrectly or the sensor itself is faulty.

If you want to get the status automatically, it is recommended to use the Sensor Connected callback. You can set the callback configuration with tf_industrial_ptc_set_sensor_connected_callback_configuration().

int tf_industrial_ptc_set_wire_mode(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, uint8_t mode)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC * mode – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 2
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Sets the wire mode of the sensor. Possible values are 2, 3 and 4 which correspond to 2-, 3- and 4-wire sensors. The value has to match the jumper configuration on the Bricklet.

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_WIRE_MODE_2 = 2
TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_WIRE_MODE_3 = 3
TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_WIRE_MODE_4 = 4

Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Sets the length of a moving averaging for the resistance and temperature.

Setting the length to 1 will turn the averaging off. With less averaging, there is more noise on the data.

New data is gathered every 20ms. With a moving average of length 1000 the resulting averaging window has a length of 20s. If you want to do long term measurements the longest moving average will give the cleanest results.

The default values match the non-changeable averaging settings of the old PTC Bricklet 1.0

int tf_industrial_ptc_get_moving_average_configuration(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, uint16_t *ret_moving_average_length_resistance, uint16_t *ret_moving_average_length_temperature)¶

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 tf_industrial_ptc_set_status_led_config(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, uint8_t config)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC * config – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 3

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 tf_industrial_ptc_reset(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC *
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 tf_industrial_ptc_get_identity(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, 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)¶

Returns:

e_code – Type: int

The period is the period with which the Temperature 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 Temperature 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:

TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'

Returns:	e_code – Type: int

If you enable this callback, the Sensor Connected callback is triggered every time a Pt sensor is connected/disconnected.

int tf_industrial_ptc_get_sensor_connected_callback_configuration(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, bool *ret_enabled)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC *
Output Parameters:	ret_enabled – Type: bool, Default: false
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the configuration as set by tf_industrial_ptc_set_sensor_connected_callback_configuration().

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the corresponding tf_industrial_ptc_register_*_callback function. The user_data passed to the registration function as well as the device that triggered the callback are passed to the registered callback handler.

Only one handler can be registered to a callback at the same time. To deregister a callback, call the tf_industrial_ptc_register_*_callback function with NULL as handler.

Note

Using callbacks for recurring events is preferred compared to using getters. Polling for a callback requires writing one byte only. See here Optimizing Performance.

Warning

Virtual Functions¶

Virtual functions don't communicate with the device itself, but operate only on the API bindings device object.

int tf_industrial_ptc_get_response_expected(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, uint8_t function_id, bool *ret_response_expected)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC * 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 tf_industrial_ptc_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:

TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_FUNCTION_SET_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_FUNCTION_SET_RESISTANCE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 6
TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_FUNCTION_SET_NOISE_REJECTION_FILTER = 9

int tf_industrial_ptc_set_response_expected(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC * 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:

TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_FUNCTION_SET_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2

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 tf_industrial_ptc_set_bootloader_mode(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, uint8_t mode, uint8_t *ret_status)¶

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

Sets the bootloader mode and returns the status after the requested mode change was instigated.

You can change from bootloader mode to firmware mode and vice versa. A change from bootloader mode to firmware mode will only take place if the entry function, device identifier and CRC are present and correct.

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

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1

Output Parameters:	ret_mode – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the current bootloader mode, see tf_industrial_ptc_set_bootloader_mode().

The following constants are available for this function:

For ret_mode:

TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
TF_INDUSTRIAL_PTC_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3

Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Sets the firmware pointer for tf_industrial_ptc_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.

Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by tf_industrial_ptc_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.

int tf_industrial_ptc_write_uid(TF_IndustrialPTC *industrial_ptc, uint32_t uid)¶

Parameters:	industrial_ptc – Type: TF_IndustrialPTC * uid – Type: uint32_t, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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.
