API

Since Delphi does not support multiple return values directly, we use the out keyword to return multiple values from a function.

All functions and procedures listed below are thread-safe.

Basic Functions

constructor TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.Create(const uid: string; ipcon: TIPConnection)
Parameters:
  • uid – Type: string
  • ipcon – Type: TIPConnection
Returns:
  • industrialDual020mAV2 – Type: TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:

industrialDual020mAV2 := TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.Create('YOUR_DEVICE_UID', ipcon);

This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected.

function TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.GetCurrent(const channel: byte): longint
Parameters:
  • channel – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 1]
Returns:
  • current – Type: longint, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [0 to 22505322]

Returns the current of the specified channel.

It is possible to detect if an IEC 60381-1 compatible sensor is connected and if it works probably.

If the returned current is below 4mA, there is likely no sensor connected or the connected sensor is defective. If the returned current is over 20mA, there might be a short circuit or the sensor is defective.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the OnCurrent callback. You can set the callback configuration with SetCurrentCallbackConfiguration.

procedure TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.SetChannelLEDConfig(const channel: byte; const config: byte)
Parameters:
  • channel – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 1]
  • config – Type: byte, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Each channel has a corresponding LED. You can turn the LED off, on or show a heartbeat. You can also set the LED to "Channel Status". In this mode the LED can either be turned on with a pre-defined threshold or the intensity of the LED can change with the measured value.

You can configure the channel status behavior with SetChannelLEDStatusConfig.

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_CHANNEL_STATUS = 3
function TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.GetChannelLEDConfig(const channel: byte): byte
Parameters:
  • channel – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 1]
Returns:
  • config – Type: byte, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Returns the channel LED configuration as set by SetChannelLEDConfig

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_CHANNEL_STATUS = 3
procedure TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.SetChannelLEDStatusConfig(const channel: byte; const min: longint; const max: longint; const config: byte)
Parameters:
  • channel – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 1]
  • min – Type: longint, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 4000000
  • max – Type: longint, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 20000000
  • config – Type: byte, Range: See constants, Default: 1

Sets the channel LED status config. This config is used if the channel LED is configured as "Channel Status", see SetChannelLEDConfig.

For each channel you can choose between threshold and intensity mode.

In threshold mode you can define a positive or a negative threshold. For a positive threshold set the "min" parameter to the threshold value in nA above which the LED should turn on and set the "max" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a positive threshold of 10mA, the LED will turn on as soon as the current exceeds 10mA and turn off again if it goes below 10mA. For a negative threshold set the "max" parameter to the threshold value in nA below which the LED should turn on and set the "min" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a negative threshold of 10mA, the LED will turn on as soon as the current goes below 10mA and the LED will turn off when the current exceeds 10mA.

In intensity mode you can define a range in nA that is used to scale the brightness of the LED. Example with min=4mA and max=20mA: The LED is off at 4mA and below, on at 20mA and above and the brightness is linearly scaled between the values 4mA and 20mA. If the min value is greater than the max value, the LED brightness is scaled the other way around.

procedure TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.Reset

Calling this function will reset the Bricklet. All configurations will be lost.

After a reset you have to create new device objects, calling functions on the existing ones will result in undefined behavior!

procedure TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.GetIdentity(out uid: string; out connectedUid: string; out position: char; out hardwareVersion: array [0..2] of byte; out firmwareVersion: array [0..2] of byte; out deviceIdentifier: word)
Output Parameters:

  • connectedUid – Type: string, Length: up to 8
  • position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z']
  • hardwareVersion – Type: array [0..2] of byte
    • 0: major – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: revision – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255]

    • 2: revision – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255]
  • deviceIdentifier – Type: word, 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.

Callback Configuration Functions

procedure TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.SetCurrentCallbackConfiguration(const channel: byte; const period: longword; const valueHasToChange: boolean; const option: char; const min: longint; const max: longint)
Parameters:
  • channel – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 1]
  • period – Type: longword, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0
  • valueHasToChange – Type: boolean, Default: false
  • option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x'
  • min – Type: longint, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 0
  • max – Type: longint, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 0

The period is the period with which the OnCurrent callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

If the value has to change-parameter is set to true, the callback is only triggered after the value has changed. If the value didn't change within the period, the callback is triggered immediately on change.

If it is set to false, the callback is continuously triggered with the period, independent of the value.

It is furthermore possible to constrain the callback with thresholds.

The option-parameter together with min/max sets a threshold for the OnCurrent callback.

The following options are possible:

Option Description
'x' Threshold is turned off
'o' Threshold is triggered when the value is outside the min and max values
'i' Threshold is triggered when the value is inside or equal to the min and max values
'<' Threshold is triggered when the value is smaller than the min value (max is ignored)
'>' Threshold is triggered when the value is greater than the min value (max is ignored)

If the option is set to 'x' (threshold turned off) the callback is triggered with the fixed period.

The following constants are available for this function:

For option:

  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'
procedure TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.GetCurrentCallbackConfiguration(const channel: byte; out period: longword; out valueHasToChange: boolean; out option: char; out min: longint; out max: longint)
Parameters:
  • channel – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 1]
Output Parameters:
  • period – Type: longword, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0
  • valueHasToChange – Type: boolean, Default: false
  • option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x'
  • min – Type: longint, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 0
  • max – Type: longint, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 0

Returns the callback configuration as set by SetCurrentCallbackConfiguration.

The following constants are available for this function:

For option:

  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

Callbacks

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done by assigning a procedure to an callback property of the device object:

procedure TExample.MyCallback(sender: TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2; const value: longint);
begin
  WriteLn(Format('Value: %d', [value]));
end;

industrialDual020mAV2.OnExample := {$ifdef FPC}@{$endif}example.MyCallback;

The available callback properties and their parameter types 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.

property TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.OnCurrent
procedure(sender: TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2; const channel: byte; const current: longint) of object;
Callback Parameters:
  • sender – Type: TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2
  • channel – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 1]
  • current – Type: longint, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [0 to 22505322]

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by SetCurrentCallbackConfiguration.

The parameter is the same as GetCurrent.

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.

function TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.GetAPIVersion: array [0..2] of byte
Output Parameters:
  • apiVersion – Type: array [0..2] of byte
    • 0: major – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: revision – Type: byte, 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.

function TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.GetResponseExpected(const functionId: byte): boolean
Parameters:
  • functionId – Type: byte, Range: See constants
Returns:
  • responseExpected – Type: boolean

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 SetResponseExpected. 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 functionId:

  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_SET_SAMPLE_RATE = 5

procedure TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.SetResponseExpected(const functionId: byte; const responseExpected: boolean)
Parameters:
  • functionId – Type: byte, Range: See constants
  • responseExpected – Type: boolean

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 functionId:

  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2

procedure TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.SetResponseExpectedAll(const responseExpected: boolean)
Parameters:
  • responseExpected – Type: boolean

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

Internal Functions

Internal functions are used for maintenance tasks such as flashing a new firmware of changing the UID of a Bricklet. These task should be performed using Brick Viewer instead of using the internal functions directly.

function TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.SetBootloaderMode(const mode: byte): byte
Parameters:
  • mode – Type: byte, Range: See constants
Returns:
  • status – Type: byte, Range: See constants

Sets the bootloader mode and returns the status after the requested mode change was instigated.

You can change from bootloader mode to firmware mode and vice versa. A change from bootloader mode to firmware mode will only take place if the entry function, device identifier and CRC are present and correct.

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

  • BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0

procedure TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.SetWriteFirmwarePointer(const pointer: longword)
Parameters:
  • pointer – Type: longword, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Sets the firmware pointer for WriteFirmware. The pointer has to be increased by chunks of size 64. The data is written to flash every 4 chunks (which equals to one page of size 256).

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

function TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.WriteFirmware(const data: array [0..63] of byte): byte
Parameters:
  • data – Type: array [0..63] of byte, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:
  • status – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255]

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by SetWriteFirmwarePointer before. The firmware is written to flash every 4 chunks.

You can only write firmware in bootloader mode.

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

procedure TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.WriteUID(const uid: longword)
Parameters:
  • uid – Type: longword, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Writes a new UID into flash. If you want to set a new UID you have to decode the Base58 encoded UID string into an integer first.

We recommend that you use Brick Viewer to change the UID.

function TBrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.ReadUID: longword
Returns:
  • uid – Type: longword, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns the current UID as an integer. Encode as Base58 to get the usual string version.

Constants

const BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_DUAL_0_20MA_V2_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER
