API

Generally, every function of the JavaScript bindings can take two optional parameters, returnCallback and errorCallback. These are two user defined callback functions. The returnCallback function is called with the results as arguments, if the function returns its results asynchronously. The errorCallback is called with an error code in case of an error. The error code can be one of the following values:

  • IPConnection.ERROR_ALREADY_CONNECTED = 11
  • IPConnection.ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED = 12
  • IPConnection.ERROR_CONNECT_FAILED = 13
  • IPConnection.ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION_ID = 21
  • IPConnection.ERROR_TIMEOUT = 31
  • IPConnection.ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER = 41
  • IPConnection.ERROR_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED = 42
  • IPConnection.ERROR_UNKNOWN_ERROR = 43
  • IPConnection.ERROR_STREAM_OUT_OF_SYNC = 51
  • IPConnection.ERROR_NON_ASCII_CHAR_IN_SECRET = 71
  • IPConnection.ERROR_WRONG_DEVICE_TYPE = 81
  • IPConnection.ERROR_DEVICE_REPLACED = 82
  • IPConnection.ERROR_WRONG_RESPONSE_LENGTH = 83
  • IPConnection.ERROR_INT64_NOT_SUPPORTED = 91

The namespace for the JavaScript bindings is Tinkerforge.*.

Basic Functions

new BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2(uid, ipcon)
Parameters:
  • uid – Type: string
  • ipcon – Type: IPConnection
Returns:
  • industrialDual020mAV2 – Type: BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:

var industrialDual020mAV2 = new BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", ipcon);

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

BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.getCurrent(channel[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • channel – Type: int, Range: [0 to 1]
Callback Parameters:
  • current – Type: int, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [0 to 22505322]
Returns:
  • undefined

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 CALLBACK_CURRENT callback. You can set the callback configuration with setCurrentCallbackConfiguration().

BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.setChannelLEDConfig(channel, config[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • channel – Type: int, Range: [0 to 1]
  • config – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Callback Parameters:
  • undefined
Returns:
  • undefined

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:

  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_CHANNEL_STATUS = 3
BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.getChannelLEDConfig(channel[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • channel – Type: int, Range: [0 to 1]
Callback Parameters:
  • config – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:
  • undefined

Returns the channel LED configuration as set by setChannelLEDConfig()

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_CHANNEL_STATUS = 3
BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.setChannelLEDStatusConfig(channel, min, max, config[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • channel – Type: int, Range: [0 to 1]
  • min – Type: int, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 4000000
  • max – Type: int, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 20000000
  • config – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 1
Callback Parameters:
  • undefined
Returns:
  • undefined

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.

Parameters:
  • callback_id – Type: int
  • function – Type: function
Returns:
  • undefined

Registers the given function with the given callback_id.

The available callback IDs with corresponding function signatures are listed below.

BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.setCurrentCallbackConfiguration(channel, period, valueHasToChange, option, min, max[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • channel – Type: int, Range: [0 to 1]
  • period – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0
  • valueHasToChange – Type: boolean, Default: false
  • option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x'

  • max – Type: int, Unit: 1 nA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 0
Callback Parameters:
  • undefined
Returns:
  • undefined

The period is the period with which the CALLBACK_CURRENT 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 CALLBACK_CURRENT 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:

  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'

  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

Callbacks

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the on() function of the device object. The first parameter is the callback ID and the second parameter the callback function:

industrialDual020mAV2.on(BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.CALLBACK_EXAMPLE,
    function (param) {
        console.log(param);
    }
);

The available constants with inherent number and type of parameters 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.

BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.CALLBACK_CURRENT
Callback Parameters:
  • channel – Type: int, Range: [0 to 1]
  • current – Type: int, 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.

BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.getAPIVersion()
Returns:
  • apiVersion – 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]

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.

BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.getResponseExpected(functionId[, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • functionId – Type: int, 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 function_id:

  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.FUNCTION_SET_SAMPLE_RATE = 5

  • responseExpected – Type: boolean
Returns:
  • undefined

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:

  • BrickletIndustrialDual020mAV2.FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
