7.1.5 RioPaDigitalChannelGroupType

The RioPaDigitalChannelGroupType aggregates RioPaDigitalInputChannelType Objects and RioPaDigitalOutputChannelType Objects.

The InputImage array Variable contains the Input Process Values of the Input Channels the RIO Channel Group Object represents. The InputImage Variable is linked to the associated PnIoTelegramType Input Object using a 0:RepresentsSameEntityAs Reference.

The array indexes must be equal to the RioChannelNumbers of the represented Input Channels. The RioChannelNumbers of the Input Channels shall have the value range 0 to <size of InputImage array> minus 1.

The OutputImage array Variable contains the Output Process Values of the Output Channels the RIO Channel Group Object represents. The OutputImage Variable is linked to the associated PnIoTelegramType Output Object using a 0:RepresentsSameEntityAs Reference (See Figure 21).

The array indexes must be equal to the RioChannelNumbers of the represented Output Channels minus <size of the InputImage array>. The RioChannelNumbers of the Output Channels shall have the value range <size of InputImage array> to <size of InputImage array + size of OutputImage array> minus 1.

The type of each array element is RioPaDigitalValueDataType which has two members: Value contains the Process Value and QualifierValue contains the status information associated with each value.

The SimulationValues array of RioPaDigitalValueDataType structures contains the values and qualifiers used as Process Value for each represented digital channel if simulation is active for the channel.

The SimulationEnabled array Variable contains True for each array element if simulation is enabled for the corresponding RIO Channel, otherwise False.

The array indexes of the SimulationValues and the SimulationEnabled arrays must be equal to the RioChannelNumber of the referenced RIO Channels.

7.1.5.1 SetSimulation Method

This Method sets the Value of array elements of the SimulationEnabled array Variable. The security constraints defined in chapter 6.7 apply.

Signature

	SetSimulation (
		[in] 0:Boolean SimulationEnabled
		[in] 0:Int16 Index
		);
	

The Method Result Codes (defined in Call Service) are defined in Table 26.

7.1.5.2 SetSimulationValue Method

This Method sets the Value of array elements of the SimulationValue Variable. The security constraints defined in chapter 6.7 apply.

Signature

	SetSimulationValue (
		[in] 0:Boolean Value
		[in] 0:Byte Qualifier
		[in] 0:Int16 Index
		);
	

The Method Result Codes (defined in Call Service) are defined in Table 27.
