CapacitorsI (Int) Interface
This interface can be used to read/modify the properties of the Capacitors Class where the values are integers. The structure of the interface is as follows:
int32_t CapacitorsI(int32_t Parameter, int32_t argument) ;
This interface returns an integer (signed 32 bits), the variable “parameter” is used to specify the property of the class to be used and the variable “argument” can be used to modify the value of the property when necessary. Reading and writing properties are separated and require a different parameter number to be executed.
The properties (parameter) are integer numbers and are described as follows:
Parameter 0: Capacitors.NumSteps read
This parameter gets the number of steps (defaults 1) for distributing and switching the total bank kvar.
Parameter 1: Capacitors.NumSteps write
This parameter sets the number of steps (defaults 1) for distributing and switching the total bank kvar.
Parameter 2: Capacitors.IsDelta read
This parameter gets 1 if delta connection, otherwise will return 0 for distributing and switching the total kvar.
Parameter 3: Capacitors.IsDelta write
This parameter sets (Argument) 1 if delta connection, otherwise will return 0 for distributing and switching the total kvar.
Parameter 4: Capacitors.First
This parameter sets the first capacitor active. Returns 0 if no more.
Parameter 5: Capacitors.Next
This parameter sets the next capacitor active. Returns 0 if no more.
Parameter 6: Capacitors.Count
This parameter gets the number of capacitor objects in active circuit.
Parameter 7: Capacitors.AddStep
This parameter adds one step of the capacitor if available. If successful returns 1.
Parameter 8: Capacitors.SubtractStep
This parameter subtracts one step of the capacitor if available. If no more steps, returns 0.
Parameter 9: Capacitors.AvailableSteps
This parameter gets the number of steps available in cap bank to be switched ON.
Parameter 10: Capacitors.Open
This parameter opens all steps, all phases of the capacitor.
Parameter 11: Capacitors.Close
This parameter closes all steps, all phases of the capacitor.
