HDL channel definitions

Within this configuration file, the channels of the connected HDL Buspro devices can be configured.

File location

<WorkspaceDirectory>\DataFiles\xio.Hdl.Channels.dat

Example
HdlDemoCase;1;1;SingleChannel;7
HdlDemoCase;1;3;AcControl;1


Each channel has its own row with the parameters separated by a semicolon. (CSV-format)

The channel definitions can be edited in the NETx Core Server Studio under Modules > HDL > Channel Definitions

Col#Parameter DescriptionScope
1Interface nameThe name of the interface the device is connected to. (As defined in HDL interface configuration)string
2Subnet ID

3Device IDHDL Buspro device id of the device.0 - 254
4TypeDevice type. See list below.string
5ChannelChannel number. See list below.0 - 254 / string

Available Types

TypeDescriptionNumber of created server items
SingleChannel

Creates a single server item NETx\XIO\HDL\<InterfaceName>\Single channel\<SubnetId>\<DeviceID>\<Channel>\Level

1
UniversalSwitchCreates a single server item NETx\XIO\HDL\<InterfaceName>\Universal switch\<SubnetId>\<DeviceID>\<Channel>\Value1
CurtainSwitchCreates a single server item NETx\XIO\HDL\<InterfaceName>\Curtain switch\<SubnetId>\<DeviceID>\<Channel>\Value1
AcControlCreates server items for all available AC control values (Mode, status, temperatures, ...) under NETx\XIO\HDL\<InterfaceName>\AC control\<SubnetId>\<DeviceID>\<Channel>\
Channel equals AC number.
14
TemperatureCreates a single server item NETx\XIO\HDL\<InterfaceName>\Temperature\<SubnetId>\<DeviceID>\<Channel>\Temperature1
HotelRoomAcCreates server items for all available hotel room AC control values (Mode, status, temperatures, ...) under NETx\XIO\HDL\<InterfaceName>\Hotel system AC control\<SubnetId>\<DeviceID>\<Channel>\
Channel equals AC number.
