NetLinx Security within the Web Server
103
NI-3101-SIG Signature Series NetLinx Integrated Controller
Configuring application-defined devices
Elements such as
DUET_DEV_TYPE_DISC_DEVICE
and
DUET_DEV_POLLED
are defined within the
NetLinx axi. The latest version of the NetLinx.axi file contains both the new API definitions, as well as
the pre-defined constants that are used as some of the API arguments
(ex:
DUET_DEV_TYPE_DISC_DEVICE
). Sample code can be found within the DEFINE_START
section seen in FIG. 65:
PROGRAM_NAME='DDD'
DEFINE_DEVICE
COM1 = 5001:1:0
COM2 = 5001:2:0
dvRECEIVER1 = 41000:1:0
dvDiscDevice = 41001:1:0
DEFINE_CONSTANT
DEFINE_TYPE
DEFINE_VARIABLE
DEFINE_START
STATIC_PORT_BINDING(dvDiscDevice, COM1, DUET_DEV_TYPE_DISC_DEVICE,
'My DVD', DUET_DEV_POLLED)
DYNAMIC_POLLED_PORT(COM2)
DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_DEVICE(dvRECEIVER1, DUET_DEV_TYPE_RECEIVER,
'My Receiver')
(***********************************************************)
(* THE EVENTS GO BELOW *)
(***********************************************************)
DEFINE_EVENT
DATA_EVENT [dvRECEIVER1]
{
// Duet Virtual device data events go here
}
This code would have given the Master a previous “heads-up” notification to look for those devices
meeting the criteria outlined within the code.
What are Application Devices and their association status?
There are two types of application devices: Static Bound application devices and Dynamic application
devices.
Static Bound
application devices
specify both a Duet virtual device and its associated
Device SDK class type, as well as a NetLinx physical device port to which the application
device is
ALWAYS
associated (i.e. statically bound).
Physical device names are typically prefixed with "
dv
" and Virtual device names are
typically prefixed with "
vdv
". It is recommended that anyone working with these
modules should become familiar with this naming convention.
