16.2.4 Using the Delete Function on M-Bus Devices
You can use the Delete function to delete an M-Bus device on the SmartServer. The Delete function
takes an element with an MBS_Device_Cfg type as its input. The element only needs
to include the device’s property in the Delete Request as demonstrated in the following
code sample:
Request
Net/M-Bus Channel/M-Bus Device 2
Response
0
Net/M-Bus Channel/M-Bus Device 2
16.3 M-Bus Virtual Functional Blocks
Before you can add data points to an M-Bus device, you need to use the Set function to create a Virtual
functional block under the M-Bus device. This virtual functional block is used to encapsulate the
M-Bus data points and enable the M-Bus driver to adhere to the network hierarchy naming convention.
The Set function takes an element with an MBS_Fb_Cfg type as its input, as shown in the
example below.
Request (add a virtual functional block to an M-Bus device)
xsi:type="MBS_Fb_Cfg">
Net/M-Bus Channel/M-Bus Device/VirtFb
Response
0
Net/M-Bus Channel/M-Bus Device/VirtFb
16.4 M-Bus Data Points
The following section describes how to use the List, Get, Set, and Delete functions on M-Bus data
points. For information on reading and writing values to M-Bus data points, see Chapter 4, Using the
SmartServer Data Server.
