send a value on the created monitor point.
The device does not need to be commissioned to call this
method.
The device's application determines how it will react to any
messages sent using this MsgMonitorPoint object.
Note that you cannot use the message point returned by this
method to send a message to a Network Service Device. If
you invoke this method on an AppDevice object contained by
a NetworkServiceDevice object, the NS, #16
lcaErrNsNotImplemented exception will be thrown.
Availability Local, full, and lightweight clients.
Syntax msgMpObject =
adObject.GetMessagePoint(addressingMode)
Element Description
msgMpObject The MsgMonitorPoint object to be
returned.
adObject The AppDevice object to be acted on.
addressingMode A long value that determines whether
Neuron ID or Subnet/Node addressing
will be used to send messages to the
AppDevice .
The values for this element, which are
stored in the ConstAddressingMode
constant, are as follows:
0 lcaAddrNeuronId
Neuron ID broadcast addressing will
be used. Messages sent using Neuron
ID addressing will be sent on all
channels in a network, regardless of
subnet, and so Neuron ID addressing
will add extra traffic to your network.
However, unconfigured devices can
receive messages sent using Neuron
ID addressing. They cannot receive
messages sent using Subnet/Node
addressing.
1 lcaAddrSubnetNode
Subnet/Node addressing will be used.
Generally, you should use
Subnet/Node addressing. If you are
using a high-performance network
interface, you can send messages to
multiple devices simultaneously
when using Subnet/Node addressing.
