Cogent CIF Driver for Hilscher Fieldbus CIF Cards : Version 6.4
	Command Reference

`digital`

digital — creates a point of type digital.

Synopsis

       
(digital enable_flag name address read_write_mode cycle_millisecs exception_flag)

Parameters

enable_flag

The initial value of enabled status of the point. t will cause the point to be initially enabled. f will cause the point to be initially disabled. (see enable and disable commands).

name

The name of the point.

address

The address of the raw data. The address has the form:

device : buffer : word_offset [. bit [.bit_width]]

(see Points in the Data Model section of the Overview.)

read_write_mode

R, W, or RW (case-insensitive) to specify the point as read-only, write-only, or read-write respectively.

cycle_millisecs

The cycle (or heartbeat) time in milliseconds associated with the point upon which automatic reading or writing is performed. Typically, points are read or written in groups, and the individual cycle time for each point is set to 0.

exception_flag

If set, then the point is registered for exceptions with the Cascade DataHub (if active).

Returns

OK or (error)

Description

This command creates a point of type digital. Digital points are used to provide the system with binary (1-bit) data, or integer values (multi-bit fields). This command is normally executed from the configuration file.

Example

In the following example, two digital input points are established, both initially enabled, not automatically read (cycle time of 0), and automatically registered with the Cascade DataHub. Pushbutton is a single input bit: the fifth bit of the 16-bit word at word offset 12 of the input buffer. Digit is a 4-bit output field, the second nibble of the 16-bit word at word offset 12 of the output buffer.

(digital t Pushbutton 0:12.5  r  0  t)
(digital t Digit 0:12.5.4  rw  0  t)
