INGEAR.NET.Logix Methods, Properties, and Events Component Classes Atomic Class - Enumerates the different atomic datatypes available for the AB Logix Family. Controller Class - A class that handles the communications with the AB Logix Family. EventCode Class - Enumerates the different codes used by the Controller Class events. ResultCode Class - Enumerates the different codes used to define the results of the methods for the Controller, Tag, and TagGroup classes. Tag Class - A class that contains information about the tags used by the Controller Class to communicate with the AB Logix Family. TagGroup Class - A class that is a collection of Tags (see Tag Class) ATOMIC Class - Enumerates the different atomic datatypes available for the AB Logix Family. Enumeration: Boolean - A datatype that represents Boolean values. DINT - A datatype that represents double integer values (32-bit). INT - A datatype that represents integer values (16-bit). REAL - A datatype that represents floating point values. SINT - A datatype that represents single integer values (8-bit). STRING - A datatype that represents a string. To Top CONTROLLER Class - A class that handles the communications with the AB Logix Family. Properties: ErrorCode - The result of the last Controller method. See "ResultCode" class. ErrorString - A string representing the ErrorCode. IPAddress - The IP Address of the AB Logix Family. IsConnected - Set to TRUE if the Controller object is connected to a device. MyObject - A reference to a user-defined object. Path - The CIP route for the device. Timeout - Number of milliseconds the controller will wait to connect before erroring. Methods: Connect - Attempt a connection to the device. Disconnect - Attempt to disconnect a device previsouly connected. GroupRead - Read a group of tags contained in a TagGroup object. GroupWrite - Write a group of tags contained in a TagGroup object. ReadTag - Read a tag contained in a Tag object. WriteTag - Write a tag contained in a Tag object. To Top EVENTCODE Class - Enumerates the different codes used by the Controller Class events. To Top RESULTCODE Class - Enumerates the different codes used to define the results of the methods for the Controller, Tag, and TagGroup classes. To Top TAG Class - A class that contains information about the tags used by the Controller Class to communicate with the AB Logix Family. Properties: Active - Describes the active state of the tag (TRUE=Active). AlignArray - Sets the lower array of a System.Array (.NET framework only). Controller - The instance of the Controller class for this tag. DataType - The datatype of this tag (See Atomic class). ErrorCode - The result of the last operation (See ResultCode class). ErrorString - The string representation of the ErrorCode. Length - The number of Array Items to read in. Set to 1 to read one item. MyObject - A reference to a user-defined object Name - The name of the tag. Should also exist in the device. Now - Invokes an immediate read or write of the Tag. QualityCode - The code for the quality of the last read operation on the Tag. QualityString - The string representing the QualityCode. Timestamp - The timestamp of the last read operation on the Tag. Value -The value of the Tag. To Top TAGGROUP Class - A class that is a collection of Tags (see Tag Class above). Properties: Active - The active state of the tag group (TRUE=active). Controller - The Controller class associated with this tag group. Count - The number of tags contained in this tag group. MyObject - A reference to a user-defined object. Now - Invokes an immediate read or write of the Tag. Tags - A collection of Tags for this tag group (see Tag class). Methods: Clear - Clears all tags from the tag group. AddTag - Adds an instance of a Tag Class to the tag group. RemoveTag - Removes an instance of a Tag from the tag group. To Top Sample code for various platforms can be found at our Code Center
