API¶

To allow non-blocking usage, nearly every function of the Rust bindings returns a wrapper around a mpsc::Receiver. To block until the function has finished and get your result, call one of the receiver's recv variants. Those return either the result sent by the device, or any error occurred.

Functions returning a result directly will block until the device has finished processing the request.

All functions listed below are thread-safe, those which return a receiver are lock-free.

Basic Functions¶

pub fn Rs485Bricklet::new(uid: &str, ip_connection: &IpConnection) → Rs485Bricklet¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: &str ip_connection – Type: &IPConnection
Returns:	rs485 – Type: Rs485Bricklet

Creates a new Rs485Bricklet object with the unique device ID uid and adds it to the IPConnection ip_connection:

let rs485 = Rs485Bricklet::new("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ip_connection);

This device object can be used after the IP connection has been connected.

pub fn Rs485Bricklet::write(&self, message: &[char]) → Result<usize, BrickletRecvTimeoutError>¶

Parameters:	message – Type: &[char]
Returns:	message_written – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]

Writes characters to the RS485 interface. The characters can be binary data, ASCII or similar is not necessary.

The return value is the number of characters that were written.

See Rs485Bricklet::set_rs485_configuration() for configuration possibilities regarding baudrate, parity and so on.

pub fn Rs485Bricklet::read(&self, length: u16) → Result<Vec<char>, BrickletRecvTimeoutError>¶

Parameters:	length – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]

In Modbus slave mode this function can be used to answer a master request to read coils.

Request ID: Request ID of the corresponding request that is being answered.
Coils: Data that is to be sent to the Modbus master for the corresponding request.

This function must be called from the Rs485Bricklet::get_modbus_slave_read_coils_request_callback_receiver() callback with the Request ID as provided by the argument of the callback.

Parameters:	slave_address – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 247] starting_address – Type: u32, Range: [1 to 2¹⁶] count – Type: u16, Range: [1 to 2000]
Returns:	request_id – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255]

In Modbus master mode this function can be used to read coils from a slave. This function creates a Modbus function code 1 request.

Slave Address: Address of the target Modbus slave.
Starting Address: Number of the first coil to read. For backwards compatibility reasons this parameter is called Starting Address. It is not an address, but instead a coil number in the range of 1 to 65536.
Count: Number of coils to read.

Upon success the function will return a non-zero request ID which will represent the current request initiated by the Modbus master. In case of failure the returned request ID will be 0.

When successful this function will also invoke the Rs485Bricklet::get_modbus_master_read_coils_response_callback_receiver() callback. In this callback the Request ID provided by the callback argument must be matched with the Request ID returned from this function to verify that the callback is indeed for a particular request.

This means, that if you have configured a frame size of X bytes, you can read exactly X bytes using the Rs485Bricklet::read() function, every time the callback triggers without checking the frame count received variable.

Added in version 2.0.5$nbsp;(Plugin).

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.

pub fn Rs485Bricklet::get_api_version(&self) → [u8; 3]¶

Return Object:	api_version – Type: [u8; 3] 0: major – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: u8, 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.

pub fn Rs485Bricklet::get_response_expected(&mut self, function_id: u8) → bool¶

Parameters:	function_id – Type: u8, Range: See constants
Returns:	response_expected – Type: bool

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 Rs485Bricklet::set_response_expected(). 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.
