BACnetConfTextMessage (FUN) ¶ FUNCTION BACnetConfTextMessage : IEC_BACNET_STATUS Sends an confirmed TextMessage. Sends a request to transmit a text to the remote device. Message may be prioritized into Normal or Urgent categories. In addition, a text message may be optionally classified by a numeric class code or class identification string.

This routine can execute asynchronously, so this routine will return to the caller before the BACnet reply is received so that the applications keeps running. In this case the response information will be received by the thread which is responsible for receiving asynchronous responses. An optional BACNET_SIMPLE_ACK_COMPLETE_CB routine, which has to be provided by the BACnet application, will be used to process this information.

In this case the response information will be received by the thread which is responsible for receiving asynchronous responses. An optional BACNET_EVENT_INFO_COMPLETE_CB routine, which is provided by the BACnet application, shall be used to process this information. If a number of asynchronous service requests are sent, the responses shall be queued and identified by the transaction handles. If the application does not supply the BACNET_EVENT_INFO_COMPLETE_CB routine, then this routine sends out a request and waits for a response.

This does not change global defaults or settings for the application APDU Properties. This argument may be 0. In this case APDU properties are used which were specified in the device object properties of the applications device which sends the request. pInfoBuffer POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_EVENT_INFO A pointer to a memory block of datatype BACNET_EVENT_INFO to place the response information. It contains a list of Event Summary items. Each item of datatype IEC_BACNET_EVENT_SUMMARY consists of a number of parameters that describe the appropriate object. ObjectID, Event-State, Acked-Transitions, Notify-Type, and Event-Enable parameters convey values of the corresponding properties of the object. Event-Stamps parameter conveys the timestamps of the last event notifications for TO-OFFNORMAL, TO-FAULT, and TONORMAL events. Event-Priorities parameter conveys the priorities specified in the Priority property of the associated notification class object. Event Info data structure contains actual number of the items returned, and the total length of Event-Summary list buffer expressed as a number of items this buffer can hold. The last parameter of IEC_BACNET_EVENT_INFO data structure is the More Events flag which indicates whether (TRUE) or not (FALSE) more objects exist that should be listed, but that cannot be conveyed by the reply because APDU is too short. The application may initialize the pSummaries member of the IEC_BACNET_EVENT_INFO struture with a 0 pointer and bufferCount and summaryCount with 0 too. In this case the memory for the response is allocated by the API and the application is responsible to release it with a call to BACnetFreeStackAllocatedMemory if the buffer is no longer needed. pTransactionToken POINTER TO BACnetAsyncTransactionToken Transaction token of the asynchronous call - see BACnetAsyncTransactionToken . pError POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_ERROR A pointer to a structure to hold BACnet Error information. pError may be 0 if the application isn’t interested in detailed error information.

Sends the requests to provide a mechanism for transporting specific instructions from an operator to silence, audible or visual notification appliances or reset notification appliances. This service may be used in fire, life safety and security systems. Because the present version of this BACnet API does not support a default processing for this service, the destination has to include a Hook procedure to process it. This routine may control APDU properties like APDU length, segmentation and timeout for both requests and responses. This routine can execute asynchronously, so this routine will return to the caller before the BACnet reply is received so that the application keeps running. In this case the response information will be received by the thread that is responsible for receiving asynchronous responses. An optional BACNET_SIMPLE_ACK_COMPLETE_CB routine, which has to be provided by the BACnet application, shall be used to process this information. If a number of asynchronous requests are sent, the responses will be queued and identified by their transaction handles.
