API

All published payloads to and from the MQTT bindings are in JSON format.

If an error occures, the bindings publish a JSON object containing the error message as member _ERROR. It is published on the corresponding response topic: .../response/... for .../request/... and .../callback/... for .../register/....

Basic Functions

request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/enable
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • no response

Enables the output of voltage and current.

The default is disabled.

request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/disable
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • no response

Disables the output of voltage and current.

The default is disabled.

request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/is_enabled
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • enabled – Type: bool, Default: false

Returns true if output of voltage and current is enabled, false otherwise.

request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_voltage
Request:
  • voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 10000]
Response:
  • no response

Sets the output voltage.

The output voltage and output current are linked. Changing the output voltage also changes the output current.

request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/get_voltage
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 10000]

Returns the voltage as set by request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_voltage.

request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_current
Request:
  • current – Type: int, Unit: 1 µA, Range: [0 to 24000]
Response:
  • no response

Sets the output current.

The output current and output voltage are linked. Changing the output current also changes the output voltage.

request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/get_current
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • current – Type: int, Unit: 1 µA, Range: [0 to 24000]

Returns the current as set by request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_current.

Advanced Functions

request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_configuration
Request:
  • voltage_range – Type: int, Range: See symbols, Default: 1
  • current_range – Type: int, Range: See symbols, Default: 0
Response:
  • no response

Configures the voltage and current range.

Possible voltage ranges are:

  • 0V to 5V
  • 0V to 10V

Possible current ranges are:

  • 4mA to 20mA
  • 0mA to 20mA
  • 0mA to 24mA

The resolution will always be 12 bit. This means, that the precision is higher with a smaller range.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For voltage_range:

  • "0_to_5v" = 0
  • "0_to_10v" = 1

For current_range:

  • "4_to_20ma" = 0
  • "0_to_20ma" = 1
  • "0_to_24ma" = 2
request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/get_configuration
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • voltage_range – Type: int, Range: See symbols, Default: 1
  • current_range – Type: int, Range: See symbols, Default: 0

Returns the configuration as set by request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_configuration.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For voltage_range:

  • "0_to_5v" = 0
  • "0_to_10v" = 1

For current_range:

  • "4_to_20ma" = 0
  • "0_to_20ma" = 1
  • "0_to_24ma" = 2
request/industrial_analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/get_identity
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • 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: [int, ...], Length: 3
    • 0: major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: revision – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
  • firmware_version – Type: [int, ...], Length: 3
    • 0: major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: revision – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
  • device_identifier – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]
  • _display_name – Type: string

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. If symbolic output is not disabled, the device identifier is mapped to the corresponding name in the format used in topics.

The display name contains the Industrial Analog Out's name in a human readable form.
