WMPRO, WMMINI FW >= 1.0 WMMEGA FW >= 2.0
Set a variable on a modbus device
====Description====
int
mb_set_dev_var (
string
$name
or
int
$id,
string
$variable,
mixed
$value
)
====Parameters====
$name: Device name
$id: Device identification number (slave ID)
$variable: Parameter to set.
This can be the register name, one of the predefined parameters such as "name", "slave_id", "delay", or a role value by passing "roleX" where is X is a number between 0 and the number of roles -1 for that driver. This will allow you to set a role value which may span two registers (such as a float or unsigned) in one go. It will take care of sending the appropriate Modbus command to update the value in the device itself.
$value: Value to set for the variable
====Return Values====
Integer: 1=OK
