Thing

UID:
  • tinkerforge:brickletindustrialdualanaloginv2:[UID]
Required firmware version:
  • 2.0.0
Firmware update supported:
  • yes
Channels:
Actions:
Parameters:
  • Sample Rate – Type: Choice, Default: 2 SPS
  • The voltage measurement sample rate. Decreasing the sample rate will also decrease the noise on the data.
  • Options: 976 SPS, 488 SPS, 244 SPS, 122 SPS, 61 SPS, 4 SPS, 2 SPS, 1 SPS

  • Status LED Configuration – Type: Choice, Default: Show Status
  • The status LED configuration. By default the LED shows communication traffic between Brick and Bricklet, it flickers once for every 10 received data packets. You can also turn the LED permanently on/off or show a heartbeat. If the Bricklet is in bootloader mode, the LED is will show heartbeat by default.
  • Options: Off, On, Show Heartbeat, Show Status

Channels

Voltage Channel 0

The measured voltage

Type:
  • Number:ElectricPotential
UID:
  • tinkerforge:brickletindustrialdualanaloginv2:[UID]:BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2VoltageChannel0
Read only:
  • Yes
Unit:
  • Volt
Range:
  • -35 Volt to 35 Volt (Step 0.001 Volt)
Parameters:
  • Update Interval – Type: integer, Default: 1000, Unit: ms, Min: 0, Max: 4294967295
  • Specifies the update interval in milliseconds. A value of 0 disables automatic updates.

  • LED Configuration – Type: Choice, Default: Show Channel Status
  • Each channel has a corresponding LED. You can turn the LED off, on or show a heartbeat. You can also set the LED to Show 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.
  • Options: Off, On, Show Heartbeat, Show Channel Status

  • LED Status Mode – Type: Choice, Default: Intensity
  • 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 mV above which the LED should turn on and set the \"max\" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a positive threshold of 10V, the LED will turn on as soon as the voltage exceeds 10V and turn off again if it goes below 10V. For a negative threshold set the \"max\" parameter to the threshold value in mV below which the LED should turn on and set the \"min\" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a negative threshold of 10V, the LED will turn on as soon as the voltage goes below 10V and the LED will turn off when the voltage exceeds 10V. In intensity mode you can define a range in mV that is used to scale the brightness of the LED. Example with min=4V, max=20V: The LED is off at 4V, on at 20V and the brightness is linearly scaled between the values 4V and 20V. If the min value is greater than the max value, the LED brightness is scaled the other way around.
  • Options: Threshold, Intensity

  • LED Status Minimum – Type: integer, Default: 0, Unit: V, Min: -35, Max: 35
  • See LED Status Mode for further explaination.

  • LED Status Maximum – Type: integer, Default: 10, Unit: V, Min: -35, Max: 35
  • See LED Status Mode for further explaination.

Actions

Actions can be used in rules by creating an action object. All actions return a Map<String, Object>. Returned values can be accessed by name, sometimes the type deduction needs some hints, as shown below:

val actions = getActions("tinkerforge", "tinkerforge:brickletindustrialdualanaloginv2:[UID]")
val hwVersion = actions.brickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2GetIdentity().get("hardwareVersion") as short[]
logInfo("Example", "Hardware version: " + hwVersion.get(0) + "." + hwVersion.get(1) + "." + hwVersion.get(2))
