Usage Information

Here is my ThreadedRuby code. I'm trying to add notes and a bit of an explanation as to what each piece of code does. If you just want to get going, create a class Object for your protocol as per below.

ProtocolObject Class

This is a generic replaceable class. This object needs the following methods:

Methods

Initialize()

• What it does:

any Object initialization you may need.

• When is this called:

Upon Object creation.

• What you will get:

nothing.

• What you will return:

nothing.

dceCommandIn(cmd)

• What is does:

sends you a command object to allow you to create gsdOut().

• What you will get:

cmd (Command Object)

• What you need to return:

nothing (ignored)

• When you will get this:

executed when a new DCE command is sent to you.

dceResponseIn(cmd)

• What it does:

Sends you a DCE object to compare with the command.

• What you will get:

cmd (Command Object)

• What you need to return:

TRUE if you accept this response.

FALSE if you do NOT accept this response.

• When you will get this:

executed when a new DCE response is ready.

gsdCommandIn(value)

• What it does:

sends you a String to allow you to create a dceOut().

• What you will get:

value (String Object)

• What you need to return:

nothing (ignored)

• When you will get this:

executed when a new GSD command is sent to you.

gsdResponseIn(value)

• What it does:

Sends you a GSD Response to compare with the command.

• What you will get:

cmd (Command Object)

• What you need to return:

TRUE if you accept this response.

FALSE if you do NOT accept this response.

• When you will get this:

executed when a new GSD response is ready.

dceout()

• What it does:

Creates a Command Object to send to DCE.

• What you will get:

nothing.

• What you need to return:

a Command Object representing the previous gsdCommandIn.

• When is this called:

After a gsdCommandIn has been sent.

gsdout()

• What it does:

creates a String Object to send to GSD.

• What you will get:

nothing.

• What you will return:

a String Object representing the previous dceCommandIn.

• When is this called:

After a dceCommandIn has been sent.

Properties:

responseAccepted

• What it does:

signals that the current response is accepted as valid.

• When you should set this:

Set this to TRUE if you accept the response as a valid response for this command.

Set this to FALSE if you do NOT accept this response

responseNeeded

• What it does:

signals when you need a response.

commandHolder

• What it does:

If you need to create a new command, this is the holder for it.

threaded

• What it does:

determines if this command is threadable

• When you should set this:

This should be set to TRUE to enable threading.

if this is set to FALSE, all threading will be suspended UNTIL this command is complete. (or times out)

ProtocolObject Class Template

class PLCBUS
  attr_reader :responseAccepted, :responseNeeded, :commandHolder, :threaded

  #Constants:  Set up any constants here...
  STX=0x02.chr
  ETX=0x03.chr
  
  def initialize()
    @responseAccepted = false
    @responseNeeded = false
    @commandHolder = nil
    @threaded = true

    #set up any variable initialization here.

  end

  def dceCommandIn(cmd)

    #This is fired when a new DCE command is created.
    #cmd is a Command object ie Command.new
    #eg:
    @dcehomeunit = $devices[cmd.devidto_].devdata[12][0..1]
    @dcehome = HomeCodes[$devices[cmd.devidto_].devdata[12][0].chr].to_s
    @dceunit = UnitCodes[$devices[cmd.devidto_].devdata[12][1].chr].to_s
    @dcefrom = cmd.devidfrom_

    @dcepriority = cmd.priority_
    @dcecmdtype = cmd.type_
    @dcecmdid = cmd.id_
    @dceparams = cmd.params_

  end

  def dceResponseIn(cmd)
     # Returns TRUE if response is accepted.
     #This is a RESPONSE from DCE.  Normally, we do not get DCE responses
     #as the DCE commands we send do not need a Reply.
     #but if you need it, here is where you get it.

    return true #or false
  end

  def gsdCommandIn(value)

    @gsdusercode = value[2]
    @gsdhomeunit = ("%X" %value[3])
    @gsdhome = @gsdhomeunit[0].chr

      rxtxSwitchRegister(value[7])   #set switches if they exist
    end

  end
  def gsdResponseIn(value)
    #returns TRUE if response is accepted.
    #no need to store response.. just compare.
    @result = true
    #value is a string from GSD.
    #validate if you accept this response here....

    return @result
  end
  def dceout
    # Returns the GSD values as a DCE command.
    @myfrom = gsdhomeunit
    if @myfrom == 0
      log('I DONT KNOW THIS DEVICE ID')
    else
      @mycommandout = gsdcommand
      @cmdout = Command.new(@myfrom, -1001, 1, 2, @mycommandout)
      @gsdparams.each_pair{|k,v| @cmdout.params_[k]=v}
      return @cmdout
    end
  end
  def gsdout
    # Returns the DCE values as a gsd string
    @threaded = false #PLCBUS does not support threading
    #compile the output string from the values set in dceCommandIn(cmd)

    @gsdout = @usercode.chr
    @gsdout += dcehomeunit + dcecommand(@dcecmdid) + @data1.chr + @data2.chr
    @gsdout = @gsdout.length.chr + @gsdout
    @gsdout = STX + @gsdout + ETX
    return @gsdout
  end

  def checkResponse(cmd)   #old?? fired when a response was accepted.
    @responseAccepted = true
  end



### Below you can add any kind of support routines you may need for your protocol.
#I've deleted most of the code for brevity of a template.
