Components
DigitalInputs
The DigitalInputs component is a bulk component to service all digital inputs (or inputs working in the digital mode) in the devices covered in the iClib.
The DigitalInputs component has the following slots:
In: a 24-bit numeric value representing Di1-Di12 inputs of the iSMA-B-MAX module or Di1-Di16 and Ui1-Ui8 inputs of other families and depending on the Max Device slot value:
if the Max Device slot is true:
first 12 bits (0x000FFF mask) transfer values to the Di1-Di12 slots;if the Max Device slot is false:
first 16 bits (0x00FFFF mask) transfer values to the Di1-Di16 slots;
17-24 bits (0xFF0000 mask) transfer values to the Ui1-Ui8 slots;
In2: a 12-bit numeric value representing bits of the iSMA-B-MAX device Di13-Di24 digital inputs;
Note: The In2 slot is active only if the Max Device slot is true.
Di1-Di12: slots of 1-12 digital inputs channels;
state of first 12 bits of the In slot;
Di13-Di16: slots of 13-16 digital inputs channels;
state of 13-16 bits of the In slot if the Max Device slot is false;
state of 1-4 bits of the In2 slot if the Max Device slot is true;
Di17-Di24: slots of 17-24 digital inputs channels;
state of 5-12 bits of the In2 slot if the Max Device slot is true;
Ui1-Ui8: slots of 1-8 universal inputs working as digital inputs channels;
state of 17-24 bits of the In slot if the Max Device slot is false;
Max Device: allows to change a control algorithm between the one specific for the iSMA-B-MAX module and others devices.
Worth to notice:
For the iSMA-B-MAX device, the In slot needs to be linked from the Modbus register value configured as an integer (16-bit) value (decimal: 15), and the In2 slot needs to be linked from the Modbus numeric value configured as an integer (16-bit) value (decimal: 215).
For devices equipped only with digital inputs, the In slot needs to be linked from the Modbus numeric value configured as an integer (16-bit) value (decimal: 15).
For devices equipped only with universal inputs only or with digital inputs and universal inputs, the In slot needs to be linked from the Modbus numeric value configured as a long (32-bit) value (decimal: 15).
DigitalOutputs
The DigitalOutputs component is a bulk component to service all digital outputs (or outputs working in the digital mode) for devices covered in the iClib.
The DigitalOutputs component has the following slots:
Out: 24-bit numeric value representing Do1-Do16 and Ao1-Ao8 outputs:
firsts 16 bits (0x00FFFF mask) are affected by state of DI1-DI16 slots.
17-24 bits (0xFF0000 mask) are affected by state of AO1-AO8 slots
Do1-Do16: slots of 1-16 digital outputs channels (transferring values to first 16 bits of the Out slot);
Ao1-Ao8: slots of 1-8 analog outputs working as digital outputs channels (transferring values to 17-24 bits of the Out slot).
Worth to notice:
For devices equipped only with digital outputs, the Out slot needs to be linked to the Modbus numeric value configured as an integer (16-bit) value (decimal: 17).
For devices equipped only with analog outputs or digital outputs and analog outputs, the Out slot needs to be linked to the Modbus numeric value configured as a long (32-bit) value (decimal: 17).
ModbusClientStringWritable
The ModbusClientStringWritable component is a network point that writes and reads 2 ASCII characters in one Modbus register. It is required to send up to 4 characters of the main menu to the iSMA-B-LP device.
