Echelon OpenLNS - Manual (Page 320)

OpenLNS Programmer's Reference 283
Each DeviceTemplate object in an OpenLNS database may have a
single device control registered for it. A null value in this
property indicates that there is no registered device control for
this DeviceTemplate object.
To support device controls, a director application must follow
these steps when creating a new device:
1. Examine the RegisteredComponent property of the
DeviceTemplate object for the new device. If a device control
is registered, create an instance of the control using the
ActiveX name in the RegisteredComponent property.
2. Assign the instance of the control created to the deprecated
ActiveXComponent property of the new AppDevice object.
3. Invoke the deprecated OpenComponent method of the new
AppDevice object.
Availability Local, full, and lightweight clients.
Syntax regComp = dtObject.RegisteredComponent
Element Description
regComp The registered component for this
device template.
dtObject The DeviceTemplate object to be acted
on.
Data Type String.
Read/Write Read/write.
Added to API Prior to LNS Release 3.0.
SelfDocConsistency
Summary Determines how much OpenLNS will assume about the self
documentation of devices that are using this template. This affects
how OpenLNS will read the self-documentation data of those
devices, and what level of program interface validation OpenLNS
will perform when commissioning those devices.
All Neuron hosted devices and host-based devices contain
self-documentation data. Some of this data appears in a device’s
external interface file. OpenLNS uses a device’s
self-documentation data to communicate with it. The setting of
this property affects how OpenLNS will read the
self-identification data of devices using this template, and what
level of program interface validation OpenLNS will perform when
commissioning those devices.
Availability Local, full, and lightweight clients.
Syntax consistencyValue = devTemplateObject.SelfDocConsistency
Element Description
