Detailed Description

A device management connection is established between a common external message interface (cEMI) client and a cEMI server to transmit cEMI device management frames. A cEMI frame specifies the service to use and the MessageCode that determines whether the frame carries a request, confirmation, or indication related to the selected service.

The following services are available:

  • Property read (M_PropRead.req and M_PropRead.con)
  • Property write (M_PropWrite.req and M_PropWrite.con)
  • Property info indication service (M_PropInfo.ind)
  • Function property command (M_FuncPropCommand.req and M_FuncPropCommand.con)
  • Function property state read (M_FuncPropStateRead.req and M_FuncPropStateRead.con)
  • Reset and restart service (M_Reset.req)

Application layer services are invoked by the transport layer frames request (.req), indication (.ind), and confirmation (.con). The same frames are used by the remote device to respond to a remote confirmed service.

Typically, a device management frame contains at least the following arguments:

The QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::Builder class can be used to construct local device management cEMI frames. The following more specialized versions of the builder are also provided, and it is recommended to prefer them over the generic version:

QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::~QKnxDeviceManagementFrame()

Destroys the local device management frame and frees all allocated resources.

[static] QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::Builder QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::builder()

Returns an instance of a generic device management frame builder.

QKnxByteArray QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::bytes() const

Returns an array of bytes that represent the local device management frame.

QKnxByteArray QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::data() const

Returns the data field of the local device management frame as an array of bytes.

The length of the data depends on the property datatype of the property and in case of an array-structured property value also on the number of array elements that are accessed.

In case of an error, the data field stores the error code as a single byte.

See also setData().

QKnxNetIpCemiServer::Error QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::error() const

Returns the error code stored in the local device management frame if the frame is a PropertyReadConfirmation or PropertyWriteConfirmation frame and the number of elements is set to 0. Otherwise returns None.

See also setError(), data(), and isNegativeConfirmation().

[static] QKnxDeviceManagementFrame QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::fromBytes(const QKnxByteArray &data, quint16 index, quint16 size)

Constructs the local device management frame from the byte array data starting at the position index inside the array with the size size.

[static] QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::FunctionPropertyCommandBuilder QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::functionPropertyCommandBuilder()

Returns an instance of a device management function property state read frame builder.

bool QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::isNegativeConfirmation() const

Returns true if this local device management frame is a negative confirmation; otherwise returns false.

For property read or write confirmation frames, the data field of a negative confirmation contains the error information.

For function property command or function property state read confirmation frames, neither a return code nor data are transmitted with the frame.

See also data(), error(), and returnCode().

bool QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::isNull() const

Returns true if this is a default constructed device management frame, otherwise returns false. A frame is considered null if it contains no initialized values.

bool QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::isValid() const

Returns true if the local device management frame is valid, returns false otherwise.

QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::MessageCode QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::messageCode() const

Returns the message code of this local device management frame.

Returns the number of elements for an array-structured property. A return value of 0 indicates a negative response.

See also setNumberOfElements() and isNegativeConfirmation().

quint8 QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::objectInstance() const

Returns the object instance if available; otherwise returns 0.

See also setObjectInstance().

QKnxInterfaceObjectType QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::objectType() const

Returns the object type carried by the frame if available; otherwise returns QKnxInterfaceObjectType::Invalid.

QKnxNetIpCemiServer::ReturnCode QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::returnCode() const

Returns the code set by the cEMI server after a cEMI function property service request if the frame is a FunctionPropertyCommandConfirmation or FunctionPropertyStateReadConfirmation and is also not a negative confirmation. Otherwise returns NoError.

Note: A return code larger than NoError indicates the negative result of a function property command or function property state read execution.

See also setReturnCode(), data(), and isNegativeConfirmation().

QKnxByteArray QKnxDeviceManagementFrame::serviceInformation() const

Returns the service information of the local device management frame as an array of bytes.
