Tinkerforge::BrickletIndustrialDualRelay - Two relays to switch AC/DC devices
This constant is used to identify a Industrial Dual Relay Bricklet.
The get_identity() subroutine and the CALLBACK_ENUMERATE callback of the IP Connection have a device_identifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.
This constant represents the display name of a Industrial Dual Relay Bricklet.
This constant is used with the register_callback() subroutine to specify the CALLBACK_MONOFLOP_DONE callback.
This constant is used with the get_response_expected(), set_response_expected() and set_response_expected_all() subroutines.
Creates an object with the unique device ID *uid* and adds it to the IP Connection *ipcon*.
Sets the state of the relays, *true* means on and *false* means off. For example: (true, false) turns relay 0 on and relay 1 off.
If you just want to set one of the relays and don't know the current state of the other relay, you can get the state with :func:`Get Value` or you can use :func:`Set Selected Value`.
Running monoflop timers will be overwritten if this function is called.
The default value is (*false*, *false*).
Returns the state of the relays, *true* means on and *false* means off.
The first parameter can be 0 or 1 (relay 0 or relay 1). The second parameter is the desired state of the relay (*true* means on and *false* means off). The third parameter indicates the time (in ms) that the relay should hold the state.
If this function is called with the parameters (1, true, 1500): Relay 1 will turn on and in 1.5s it will turn off again.
A monoflop can be used as a failsafe mechanism. For example: Lets assume you have a RS485 bus and a Industrial Dual Relay Bricklet connected to one of the slave stacks. You can now call this function every second, with a time parameter of two seconds. The relay will be on all the time. If now the RS485 connection is lost, the relay will turn off in at most two seconds.
Returns (for the given relay) the current state and the time as set by :func:`Set Monoflop` as well as the remaining time until the state flips.
If the timer is not running currently, the remaining time will be returned as 0.
Sets the state of the selected relay (0 or 1), *true* means on and *false* means off.
The other relay remains untouched.
Returns the error count for the communication between Brick and Bricklet.
The errors are divided into
* ACK checksum errors, * message checksum errors, * framing errors and * overflow errors.
The errors counts are for errors that occur on the Bricklet side. All Bricks have a similar function that returns the errors on the Brick side.
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.
Returns the current bootloader mode, see :func:`Set Bootloader Mode`.
Sets the firmware pointer for :func:`Write Firmware`. 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).
Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by :func:`Set Write Firmware Pointer` before. The firmware is written to flash every 4 chunks.
You can only write firmware in bootloader mode.
Sets 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.
Returns the configuration as set by :func:`Set Status LED Config`
Returns the temperature in °C as measured inside the microcontroller. The value returned is not the ambient temperature!
The temperature is only proportional to the real temperature and it has bad accuracy. Practically it is only useful as an indicator for temperature changes.
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!
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.
Returns the current UID as an integer. Encode as Base58 to get the usual string version.
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' or 'd'.
The device identifier numbers can be found :ref:`here <device_identifier>`. |device_identifier_constant|
