system.device.addDevice - deviceProps Listing

Below is a table of properties callable by system.device.addDevice.

note

The Description and Enabled properties may not be configured with this function, although a device connection could be disabled with a call to system.device.setDeviceEnabled() after creating the connection.

Changed in 8.1.28

note

Starting in version 8.1.28, you can set a device to be enabled or disabled when using system.device.addDevice, by specifying the Enabled property in the system function's deviceProps dictionary parameter. A value of "0" will add the new device in a disabled state, while a value of "1" will add the new device in an enabled state.

In addition to the keys above, the driver can be passed to a tagMap key, that allows addresses to be defined. For example:

props = {
            "hostName" : "10.0.0.1",
            "tagMap" : "HOST\tNAME\tDATATYPE\tADDRESS\tCOMMENT\tTAGLINK\tRW\tPOU\n\tfoo\tUINT_BCD[0..1]\t\t\tTRUE\tR\t\n"
            }
  
system.device.addDevice(deviceType = "com.inductiveautomation.omron.NjDriver", \
                        deviceName = "nj",\
                        deviceProps = props)
