Master.BinaryCounterGetFromPointNum (METH)¶

METHOD BinaryCounterGetFromPointNum : Error

Get the value of Binary Counter datapoint (DNP3 object group 20 “counters”) with given point number (0 .. MaxPointNum). Returns PointNotExistent, if a datapoint with the given point number doesnt exist, OK otherwise.

InOut:

Scope	Name	Type	Comment
Return	BinaryCounterGetFromPointNum	Error
Input	pointNumber	UINT	Point number.
Output	value	UDINT	Value
	flags	USINT	Flags. Flag values are OR’d combinations of the following: DNPDEFS_DBAS_FLAG_ON_LINE - the point has been read successfully DNPDEFS_DBAS_FLAG_RESTART - the field device that originated the data object has been restarted. This device may be the deviced reporting this data object. DNPDEFS_DBAS_FLAG_COMM_LOST - the device reporting this data object has lost communication with the originator of the data object DNPDEFS_DBAS_FLAG_REMOTE_FORCED - the state of the binary object has been forced to its current state at the originating device DNPDEFS_DBAS_FLAG_LOCAL_FORCED - the state of the binary object has been forced to its current state at the device reporting this data object DNPDEFS_DBAS_FLAG_CNTR_ROLLOVER - the accumulated value has exceeded has exceeded its maximum and rolled over to zero. NOTE: This maximum value is not necessarily equal to (2^32-1) for 32 bit counters or (2^16-1) for 16 bit counters. It can be different for each counter instance. Technical Bulletin TB-2002-001 Counter Objects recommends “[Outstation] devices do not set the Rollover flag and that host(Master) devices ignore the Rollover flag”.
	hasTimeStamp	BOOL	Has a valid time stamp.
	timeStamp	LDATE_AND_TIME	Time stamp reported - valid if hasTimeStamp = TRUE, invalid otherwise.
