Mandatory

The optional Method ResetStatistics resets all statistic data of the ports. Statistic data of a port are Parameters referenced by the Statistics Object of the IOLinkPortType Object starting with “NumberOf” and potentially vendor-specific extensions. As soon as statistic data is provided by the server, the optional Method shall be provided.

Signature

ResetStatistics (

[out]Int32 Status

);

Argument

Description

Status

Returns the status of the operation.

0: OK, operation successful

-1: Operation already running

-2: Operation cannot be executed.

The Method UpdateConfiguration takes all configuration data as input and updates the configuration of the port. The Method execution ensures that a client provides all configuration data at the same time in a consistent way and thus the server can deploy the configuration in one operation. If the configuration is not valid, the server returns a corresponding Status. As defined in the SMI (see IO-Link Addendum) depending on the configuration some arguments are treated as “don’t care”. For example, when the PortMode is IOL_AUTOSTART, the DeviceID, VendorID and ValidationAndBackup are ignored. The server shall not check those arguments and accept configurations with all possible values.
