Echelon OpenLNS - Manual (Page 471)

OpenLNS Programmer's Reference 434
Element Description
progName The programmatic name of the object.
Object The LonMarkObject to be acted on.
Data Type String.
Read/Write Read-only for static LonMarkObject objects. Read/write for
dynamic LonMarkObject objects. You can check if a
LonMarkObject is dynamic or static by reading the
IsDynamic property.
When writing to this property, you should note that some
devices, such as the SmartServer, require that all network
variables within the device have a unique programmatic
name. In addition, all network variables contained within a
custom Interface object must have unique programmatic
names. If you attempt to assign a duplicate programmatic
name to a network variable on such a device, the operation
will fail, and the LCA, #132
lcaErrUniqueNvNameRequired exception will be thrown.
Added to API Prior to LNS Release 3.0.
ReportMask
Summary Returns an ObjectStatus object which reports which
LonMark status attributes are supported by this
LonMarkObject .
Some LonMarkObject objects do not support all of the status
attributes contained in an ObjectStatus object. You can use
the ReportMask property to determine which ones are not
supported. If you access an ObjectStatus object through the
ReportMask property, the object represents a report mask. In
this case, the values of each property of the ObjectStatus
object reflect whether or not the LonMarkObject supports the
related status attribute. Use the Status property to retrieve
an ObjectStatus object you can use to read the actual values
of the supported attributes.
For example, consider the AlarmNotifyDisabled property of
the ObjectStatus object. The AlarmNotifyDisabled property
contained in an ObjectStatus object accessed through the
Status property of a LonMarkObject indicates whether alarm
notification has been disabled on the LonMarkObject. The
AlarmNotifyDisabled property contained in an ObjectStatus
object accessed through the ReportMark property of a
LonMarkObject indicates whether or not you can disable
alarm notification on the LonMarkObject.
You can upate the information contained in the ObjectStatus
report mask object by writing the value
lcaLonMarkObjectRequestReportMask (5) to the
Request property of the LonMarkObject.
