Warning

The openHAB bindings are still in beta, but the development was stopped.

This is the description of the openHAB API bindings for the Industrial Quad Relay Bricklet. General information and technical specifications for the Industrial Quad Relay Bricklet are summarized in its hardware description.

An installation guide for the openHAB API bindings is part of their general description.

Actions

Actions can be used in rules by creating an action object. All actions return a Map<String, Object>. Returned values can be accessed by name, sometimes the type deduction needs some hints, as shown below:

val actions = getActions("tinkerforge", "tinkerforge:brickletindustrialquadrelay:[UID]")
val hwVersion = actions.brickletIndustrialQuadRelayGetIdentity().get("hardwareVersion") as short[]
logInfo("Example", "Hardware version: " + hwVersion.get(0) + "." + hwVersion.get(1) + "." + hwVersion.get(2))

Basic Actions

brickletIndustrialQuadRelaySetValue(int valueMask)
Parameters:
  • valueMask – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Sets the output value with a bitmask (16bit). A 1 in the bitmask means relay closed and a 0 means relay open.

For example: The value 3 or 0b0011 will close the relay of pins 0-1 and open the other pins.

All running monoflop timers will be aborted if this function is called.

brickletIndustrialQuadRelayGetValue()
Return Map:
  • valueMask – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Returns the bitmask as set by Relay 0.

Advanced Actions

brickletIndustrialQuadRelaySetMonoflop(int selectionMask, int valueMask, long time)
Parameters:
  • selectionMask – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]
  • valueMask – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]
  • time – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Configures a monoflop of the pins specified by the first parameter bitmask.

The second parameter is a bitmask with the desired value of the specified pins. A 1 in the bitmask means relay closed and a 0 means relay open.

The third parameter indicates the time that the pins should hold the value.

If this function is called with the parameters (9, 1, 1500) or (0b1001, 0b0001, 1500): Pin 0 will close and pin 3 will open. In 1.5s pin 0 will open and pin 3 will close again.

A monoflop can be used as a fail-safe mechanism. For example: Lets assume you have a RS485 bus and a Quad Relay Bricklet connected to one of the slave stacks. You can now call this function every second, with a time parameter of two seconds and pin 0 closed. Pin 0 will be closed all the time. If now the RS485 connection is lost, then pin 0 will be opened in at most two seconds.

brickletIndustrialQuadRelaySetSelectedValues(int selectionMask, int valueMask)
Parameters:
  • selectionMask – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]
  • valueMask – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Sets the output value with a bitmask, according to the selection mask. The bitmask is 16 bit long, true refers to a closed relay and false refers to an open relay.

For example: The values (3, 1) or (0b0011, 0b0001) will close the relay of pin 0, open the relay of pin 1 and leave the others untouched.

Running monoflop timers for the selected relays will be aborted if this function is called.

brickletIndustrialQuadRelayGetMonoflop(short pin)
Parameters:
  • pin – Type: short, Range: [0 to 15]
Return Map:
  • value – Type: int, Range: [0 to 1]
  • time – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
  • timeRemaining – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns (for the given pin) the current value and the time as set by Monoflop Relay 0 as well as the remaining time until the value flips.

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

brickletIndustrialQuadRelayGetIdentity()
Return Map:
  • uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8
  • connectedUid – Type: String, Length: up to 8
  • position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z']
  • hardwareVersion – Type: short[], Length: 3
    • 0: major – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: revision – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]
  • firmwareVersion – Type: short[], Length: 3
    • 0: major – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: revision – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]
  • deviceIdentifier – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Returns the UID, the UID where the Bricklet is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the 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.
