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:
  • ptc – Type: PTC *
  • uid – Type: const char *
  • ipcon – Type: IPConnection *

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

PTC ptc;
ptc_create(&ptc, "YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon);

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

void ptc_destroy(PTC *ptc)
Parameters:
  • ptc – Type: PTC *

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

int ptc_get_temperature(PTC *ptc, int32_t *ret_temperature)
Parameters:
  • ptc – Type: PTC *
Output Parameters:
  • ret_temperature – Type: int32_t, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-24600 to 84900]
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

If you want to get the temperature periodically, it is recommended to use the PTC_CALLBACK_TEMPERATURE callback and set the period with ptc_set_temperature_callback_period().

int ptc_is_sensor_connected(PTC *ptc, bool *ret_connected)
Parameters:
  • ptc – Type: PTC *
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.

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:

  • PTC_WIRE_MODE_2 = 2
  • PTC_WIRE_MODE_3 = 3
  • PTC_WIRE_MODE_4 = 4
int ptc_get_wire_mode(PTC *ptc, uint8_t *ret_mode)

Callbacks

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

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

ptc_register_callback(&ptc,
                      PTC_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.

Callback Parameters:
  • temperature – Type: int32_t, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-24600 to 84900]
  • user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by ptc_set_temperature_callback_period(). The parameter is the temperature of the connected sensor.

The PTC_CALLBACK_TEMPERATURE callback is only triggered if the temperature has changed since the last triggering.

PTC_CALLBACK_TEMPERATURE_REACHED
void callback(int32_t temperature, void *user_data)
Callback Parameters:
  • temperature – Type: int32_t, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-24600 to 84900]
  • user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by ptc_set_temperature_callback_threshold() is reached. The parameter is the temperature of the connected sensor.

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

PTC_CALLBACK_RESISTANCE
void callback(int32_t resistance, void *user_data)
Callback Parameters:
  • resistance – Type: int32_t, Unit: ? Ω, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1]
  • user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by ptc_set_resistance_callback_period(). The parameter is the resistance of the connected sensor.

The PTC_CALLBACK_RESISTANCE callback is only triggered if the resistance has changed since the last triggering.

Callback Parameters:
  • resistance – Type: int32_t, Unit: ? Ω, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1]
  • user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by ptc_set_resistance_callback_threshold() is reached. The parameter is the resistance of the connected sensor.

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

PTC_CALLBACK_SENSOR_CONNECTED
void callback(bool connected, void *user_data)
Callback Parameters:
  • connected – Type: bool

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by ptc_set_sensor_connected_callback_configuration().

The parameter is the same as ptc_is_sensor_connected().

New in version 2.0.2 (Plugin).

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.

  • ptc – Type: PTC *
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 ptc_get_response_expected(PTC *ptc, uint8_t function_id, bool *ret_response_expected)
Parameters:
  • ptc – Type: PTC *
  • 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 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:

  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 3
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_RESISTANCE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 5
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 7
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_RESISTANCE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 9
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 11
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_NOISE_REJECTION_FILTER = 17
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_WIRE_MODE = 20
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_SENSOR_CONNECTED_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 22
int ptc_set_response_expected(PTC *ptc, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)
Parameters:
  • ptc – Type: PTC *
  • 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.

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:

  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 3
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_RESISTANCE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 5
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 7
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_RESISTANCE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 9
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 11
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_NOISE_REJECTION_FILTER = 17
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_WIRE_MODE = 20
  • PTC_FUNCTION_SET_SENSOR_CONNECTED_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 22
int ptc_set_response_expected_all(PTC *ptc, bool response_expected)
Parameters:
  • ptc – Type: PTC *
  • 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.

Constants

PTC_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER

This constant is used to identify a PTC Bricklet.

The ptc_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.

PTC_DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME

This constant represents the human readable name of a PTC Bricklet.
