ExclusiveSelectorsAvailable

Summary

Indicates the total number of exclusive selectors that are

currently available in the system

.

A network variable selector is a 14-bit number used to

identify connected network variables. Each connection in the

system is assigned a selector value, and all network variables

in a given connection must use the same selector.

Intersecting connections must also use the same network

variable selector. OpenLNS can also share network variable

selectors among unicast connections if those connections are

between disjoint devices.

Network

variable selectors that are

shared between unrelated connections come from the pool of

sharable selectors available on the system.
LNS assigns exclusive network variable selectors to sets of

intersecting connections, and to each connection that

contains multiple targets. The selectors used to form this

type of connection are called exclusive selectors.

You can find out how many exclusive selectors exist on the

system (including those that are already in use) by reading

the

ExclusiveSelectorPoolSize

property.
