IAdsNotificationsAddDeviceNotificationExAsync(UInt32, UInt32, NotificationSettings, Object, Type, Int32, CancellationToken) Method

Connects a variable to the ADS client asynchronously. The ADS client will be notified by the AdsNotificationEx event.


Namespace: TwinCAT.Ads
Assembly: TwinCAT.Ads.Abstractions (in TwinCAT.Ads.Abstractions.dll) Version: 7.0.0+e56d35ccc4675faac24789a4aab60071fc61d470

Syntax

C#

Task<ResultHandle> AddDeviceNotificationExAsync(
    uint indexGroup,
    uint indexOffset,
    NotificationSettings settings,
    Object? userData,
    Type type,
    int[]? args,
    CancellationToken cancel
)

Parameters

indexGroup  UInt32

Contains the index group number of the requested ADS service.

indexOffset  UInt32

Contains the index offset number of the requested ADS service.

settings  NotificationSettings

The settings.

userData  Object

This object can be used to store user specific data.

type  Type

Type of the object stored in the event argument, only Primitive 'AnyTypes' allowed.

args  Int32

Additional arguments (for 'AnyType')

cancel  CancellationToken

The Cancellation token.

Return Value

Task ResultHandle
A task that represents the asynchronous 'AddDeviceNotification' operation. The ResultHandle type parameter contains the created handle (Handle) and the ErrorCode after execution.

Remarks

If type is a string type, the first element of the parameter args specifies the number of characters of the string. If type is an array type, the number of elements for each dimension has to be specified in the parameter args. Only primitive types (AnyType) are supported by this method. Because notifications allocate TwinCAT system resources, a complementary call to DeleteDeviceNotificationAsync(UInt32, CancellationToken) should always called when the notification is not used anymore.
