Basic Functions¶

pub fn SolidStateRelayBricklet::new(uid: &str, ip_connection: &IpConnection) → SolidStateRelayBricklet¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: &str ip_connection – Type: &IPConnection
Returns:	solid_state_relay – Type: SolidStateRelayBricklet

Creates a new SolidStateRelayBricklet object with the unique device ID uid and adds it to the IPConnection ip_connection:

let solid_state_relay = SolidStateRelayBricklet::new("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ip_connection);

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

pub fn SolidStateRelayBricklet::set_state(&self, state: bool) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	state – Type: bool, Default: false

Sets the state of the relays true means on and false means off.

A running monoflop timer will be aborted if this function is called.

pub fn SolidStateRelayBricklet::get_state(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<bool>¶

Returns:	state – Type: bool, Default: false

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

Advanced Functions¶

pub fn SolidStateRelayBricklet::set_monoflop(&self, state: bool, time: u32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	state – Type: bool time – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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

If this function is called with the parameters (true, 1500): The relay 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 Solid State 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.

pub fn SolidStateRelayBricklet::get_monoflop(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<Monoflop>¶

Return Object:	state – Type: bool time – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] time_remaining – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns the current state and the time as set by SolidStateRelayBricklet::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.

pub fn SolidStateRelayBricklet::get_identity(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<Identity>¶

Return Object:

uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 connected_uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z'] hardware_version – Type: [u8; 3] 0: major – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] firmware_version – Type: [u8; 3] 0: major – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] device_identifier – Type: u16, 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. There is also a constant for the device identifier of this Bricklet.

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the corresponding get_*_callback_receiver function, which returns a receiver for callback events.

pub fn SolidStateRelayBricklet::get_monoflop_done_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<bool>¶

Event:	state – Type: bool

Receivers created with this function receive Monoflop Done events.

This callback is triggered whenever the monoflop timer reaches 0. The parameter is 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.

pub fn SolidStateRelayBricklet::get_api_version(&self) → [u8; 3]¶

Return Object:	api_version – Type: [u8; 3] 0: major – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255]

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.

pub fn SolidStateRelayBricklet::get_response_expected(&mut self, function_id: u8) → bool¶

Parameters:	function_id – Type: u8, Range: See constants
Returns:	response_expected – Type: bool

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 SolidStateRelayBricklet::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:

• SOLID_STATE_RELAY_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_STATE = 1
• SOLID_STATE_RELAY_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_MONOFLOP = 3

pub fn SolidStateRelayBricklet::set_response_expected(&mut self, function_id: u8, response_expected: bool) → ()¶

Parameters:	function_id – Type: u8, Range: See constants response_expected – Type: bool

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:

• SOLID_STATE_RELAY_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_STATE = 1
• SOLID_STATE_RELAY_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_MONOFLOP = 3

pub fn SolidStateRelayBricklet::set_response_expected_all(&mut self, response_expected: bool) → ()¶

Parameters:	response_expected – Type: bool

Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.

Constants¶

pub const SolidStateRelayBricklet::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Solid State Relay Bricklet.

The SolidStateRelayBricklet::get_identity function and the IpConnection::get_enumerate_callback_receiver callback of the IP Connection have a device_identifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

pub const SolidStateRelayBricklet::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a Solid State Relay Bricklet.
