Property Description
values:
• 0. Standard functional profile defined in the standard
resource file set.
• 3. User-defined functional profile, defined in a
manufacturer-specific resource file set.
• 4. User-defined functional profile, defined in a
manufacturer and device class specific resource file set.
• 5. User-defined functional profile, defined in a
manufacturer and device class/subclass specific resource
file set.
6. User-defined functional profile, defined in manufacturer, and
device class/subclass/model number specific resource file set.
This property cannot be null for dynamic functional blocks.
Indicates whether the functional block is static (DDT_STATIC)
or dynamic (DDT_DYNAMIC). You cannot use the Set
function to modify this property.
14.6.3 Using the Set Function on a L

ORKS
Functional Block
You can use the Set function to overwrite the configuration of a functional block, or to create a new
functional block. The input parameters you supply to the function will include one or more
elements. Each element includes a property that specifies a unique functional
block to be created or modified.
Each element may also include a series of properties that define the configuration of the new
(or modified) functional block. This set of properties is the same whether you are creating a new
functional block or modifying an existing functional block.
• If you are creating a new functional block, you need to specify the and
properties; all other properties are optional.
• If you are modifying an existing functional block, you must specify the property.
In addition, all other properties should be filled; otherwise the values stored in them are erased.
The previous section, Using the Get Function on a LonWorks Functional Block, details the
properties you can include in the Set function.
You can set multiple functional blocks with a single Set message. However, you should not attempt to
create or write to more than 100 functional blocks with a single call to the Set function. The following
example demonstrates how to create a new functional block.
