IAdsNotifications.AddDeviceNotificationAsync Method (UInt32, UInt32, Int32, NotificationSettings, Object, CancellationToken)

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

Namespace:  TwinCAT.Ads
Assembly:  TwinCAT.Ads.Abstractions (in TwinCAT.Ads.Abstractions.dll) Version: 6.0.328+39e3229

Syntax

C#

Task<ResultHandle> AddDeviceNotificationAsync(
    uint indexGroup,
    uint indexOffset,
    int dataSize,
    NotificationSettings settings,
    Object? userData,
    CancellationToken cancel
)

Parameters

indexGroup

Type: System.UInt32
The index group number of the requested ADS service.

indexOffset

Type: System.UInt32
The index offset number of the requested ADS service.

dataSize

Type: System.Int32
Maximum amount of data in bytes to receive with this ADS Notification

settings

Type: TwinCAT.Ads.NotificationSettings
The notification settings.

userData

Type: System.Object
This object can be used to store user specific data (tag data)

cancel

Type: System.Threading.CancellationToken
The Cancellation token.

Return Value

Type: 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

The

dataSize

Parameter defines the amount of bytes, that will be attached to the AdsNotification as value. Because notifications allocate TwinCAT system resources, a complementary call to DeleteDeviceNotificationAsync(UInt32, CancellationToken) should always be called when the notification is not used anymore.
