The ADI line provides functions for the B&R Automation Device Interface (ADI).

ADI is the interface for B&R devices (see supported industrial PCs). It can be used to e.g. set LEDs of change brightness settings on B&R displays. The functionalities provided by ADI come from the ADI driver, which needs to be installed on your system.

ADI process objects

A line object, a device object, and a variable object are all needed to access an ADI variable.

Process objects in the ADI line:

Allowed object structure for ADI process objects:

ADI access types

The following table shows an overview of all access types which are regulated via a line. All access types not listed here as well as access types to the PVI base object are executed by PVI Manager and therefore work independently of the line being used. The corresponding process object type is listed in the "Type" column.

* The list contains the possible variables for a device. Whether or not these variables are actually supported depends on the current hardware configuration. Example: An APC620 may have an AP Link transmitter, which is why the "LinkFpgaVersion" and "LinkType" variables are listed. However, if the device doesn't have an AP Link transmitter, then an error will occur when registering the variables.

ADI event types

The following table shows an overview of all event types which can be generated from a line. All event types which are not listed are generated by PVI Manager and therefore work independently of the line being used.
