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_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/get_voltage¶

Request:	channel – Type: int, Range: [0 to 1]
Response:	voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-35000 to 35000]

Returns the voltage for the given channel.

If you want to get the voltage periodically, it is recommended to use the register/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/voltage callback and set the period with request/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/set_voltage_callback_period.

Advanced Functions¶

request/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/set_sample_rate¶

Request:	rate – Type: int, Range: See symbols, Default: 6
Response:	no response

Sets the sample rate. The sample rate can be between 1 sample per second and 976 samples per second. Decreasing the sample rate will also decrease the noise on the data.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For rate:

"976_sps" = 0
"488_sps" = 1
"244_sps" = 2
"122_sps" = 3
"61_sps" = 4
"4_sps" = 5
"2_sps" = 6
"1_sps" = 7

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 Dual Analog In's name in a human readable form.

Response:	no response

Sets the period with which the register/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/voltage callback is triggered periodically for the given channel. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

The register/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/voltage callback is only triggered if the voltage has changed since the last triggering.

Request:	channel – Type: int, Range: [0 to 1]
Response:	period – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 0

The following options are possible:

Option	Description

'o'	Callback is triggered when the voltage is outside the min and max values
'i'	Callback is triggered when the voltage is inside the min and max values
'<'	Callback is triggered when the voltage is smaller than the min value (max is ignored)
'>'	Callback is triggered when the voltage is greater than the min value (max is ignored)

The following symbols are available for this function:

For option:

"off" = "x"
"outside" = "o"
"inside" = "i"
"smaller" = "<"

"smaller" = "<"
"greater" = ">"

request/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/set_debounce_period¶

Request:	debounce – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 100
Response:	no response

Sets the period with which the threshold callback

register/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/voltage_reached

is triggered, if the threshold

request/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/set_voltage_callback_threshold

keeps being reached.

request/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/get_debounce_period¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	debounce – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 100

Returns the debounce period as set by request/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/set_debounce_period.

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the corresponding .../register/... topic and an optional suffix. This suffix can be used to deregister the callback later.

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.

register/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/voltage¶

Register Request:	register – Type: bool
Callback Response:	channel – Type: int, Range: [0 to 1] voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-35000 to 35000]

A callback can be registered for this event by publishing to the .../register/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/voltage[/<SUFFIX>] topic with the payload "true". An added callback can be removed by publishing to the same topic with the payload "false". To support multiple (de)registrations, e.g. for message filtering, an optional suffix can be used.

If the callback is triggered, a message with it's payload is published under the corresponding .../callback/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/voltage[/<SUFFIX>] topic for each registered suffix.

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by request/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/set_voltage_callback_period. The callback payload is the voltage of the channel.

The register/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/voltage callback is only triggered if the voltage has changed since the last triggering.

register/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/voltage_reached¶

Register Request:	register – Type: bool
Callback Response:	channel – Type: int, Range: [0 to 1] voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-35000 to 35000]

A callback can be registered for this event by publishing to the .../register/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/voltage_reached[/<SUFFIX>] topic with the payload "true". An added callback can be removed by publishing to the same topic with the payload "false". To support multiple (de)registrations, e.g. for message filtering, an optional suffix can be used.

If the callback is triggered, a message with it's payload is published under the corresponding .../callback/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/voltage_reached[/<SUFFIX>] topic for each registered suffix.

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by request/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/set_voltage_callback_threshold is reached. The callback payload is the voltage of the channel.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by request/industrial_dual_analog_in_bricklet/<UID>/set_debounce_period.
