Class SerialNode

java.lang.Object
  jmri.jmrix.AbstractNode
      jmri.jmrix.secsi.SerialNode

public class SerialNode
extends AbstractNode

Models a serial node.

Nodes are numbered ala their address, from 0 to 255. Node number 1 carries sensors 1 to 999, node 2 1001 to 1999 etc.

The array of sensor states is used to update sensor known state only when there's a change on the serial bus. This allows for the sensor state to be updated within the program, keeping this updated state until the next change on the serial bus. E.g. you can manually change a state via an icon, and not have it change back the next time that node is polled.

nodeAddress

Constructor Summary

SerialNode()
Assumes a node address of 0, and a node type of 0 (IO24) If this constructor is used, actual node address must be set using setNodeAddress, and actual node type using 'setNodeType'

SerialNode(int address, int type)
Creates a new SerialNode and initialize default instance variables address - Address of node on serial bus (0-255) type - a type constant from the class

Method Summary

protected boolean	checkNodeAddress(int address) Check for valid node address
AbstractMRMessage	createInitPacket() Public Method to create an Initialization packet (SerialMessage) for this node.
AbstractMRMessage	createOutPacket() Public Method to create an Transmit packet (SerialMessage)
int	getNodeType() Public method to return node type Current types are: SMINI, USIC_SUSIC,
boolean	handleTimeout(AbstractMRMessage m) Deal with a timeout in the transmission controller.
void	markChanges(SerialReply l) Use the contents of the poll reply to mark changes
void	registerSensor(Sensor s, int i) The numbers here are 0 to MAXSENSORS, not 1 to MAXSENSORS.
void	resetTimeout(AbstractMRMessage m) A reply was received, so there was not timeout, do any needed processing.
boolean	sensorsActive() Public method to return state of Sensors.
void	setNodeType(int type) Public method to set node type.
void	setOutputBit(int bitNumber, boolean state) Public method setting an output bit.

Constructor Detail

SerialNode

public SerialNode()

Assumes a node address of 0, and a node type of 0 (IO24) If this constructor is used, actual node address must be set using setNodeAddress, and actual node type using 'setNodeType'

SerialNode

public SerialNode(int address,
                  int type)

Creates a new SerialNode and initialize default instance variables address - Address of node on serial bus (0-255) type - a type constant from the class

Method Detail

setOutputBit

public void setOutputBit(int bitNumber,
                         boolean state)

Public method setting an output bit. Note: state = 'true' for 0, 'false' for 1 bits are numbered from 1 (not 0)

sensorsActive

public boolean sensorsActive()

Public method to return state of Sensors. Note: returns 'true' if at least one sensor is active for this node

Specified by:

sensorsActive in class AbstractNode

getNodeType

public int getNodeType()

Public method to return node type Current types are: SMINI, USIC_SUSIC,

setNodeType

public void setNodeType(int type)

Public method to set node type.

checkNodeAddress

protected boolean checkNodeAddress(int address)

Check for valid node address

Specified by:

checkNodeAddress in class AbstractNode

Returns:

true if valid

createInitPacket

public AbstractMRMessage createInitPacket()

Public Method to create an Initialization packet (SerialMessage) for this node. There are currently no SECSI boards that need an init message, so this returns null.

Specified by:

createInitPacket in class AbstractNode

createOutPacket

public AbstractMRMessage createOutPacket()

Public Method to create an Transmit packet (SerialMessage)

Specified by:

createOutPacket in class AbstractNode

markChanges

public void markChanges(SerialReply l)

Use the contents of the poll reply to mark changes

Parameters:

l - Reply to a poll operation

registerSensor

public void registerSensor(Sensor s,
                           int i)

The numbers here are 0 to MAXSENSORS, not 1 to MAXSENSORS.

Parameters:

s - - Sensor object

i - - 0 to MAXSENSORS number of sensor's input bit on this node

handleTimeout

public boolean handleTimeout(AbstractMRMessage m)

Description copied from class: AbstractNode

Deal with a timeout in the transmission controller.

Specified by:

handleTimeout in class AbstractNode

Parameters:

m - message that didn't receive a reply

Returns:

true if initialization required

resetTimeout

public void resetTimeout(AbstractMRMessage m)

Description copied from class: AbstractNode

A reply was received, so there was not timeout, do any needed processing.

Specified by:

resetTimeout in class AbstractNode
