Systemstate
Systemstate is a special type of protocol that lets you listen for state change events on all of the Connectware resources. For any object that can be addressed by a Resource ID, the current state can be queried by read or be subscribed by subscribe.
Commissioning File Specifics
The following describes the general format of the commissioning file you will need to assemble to configure this protocol.
You can find a fully working example below: Sample Commissioning file:
Connection Settings
The service using this protocol does not create a connection to somewhere outside of the Connectware but rather an internal connection that taps into the internal state of the Connectware. So you will need to configure the connection object the following way:

Endpoint settings
Each connection can have multiple endpoints. These define the operations that are supported. For the Systemstate protocol, read
and subscribe
are available as operations.
You define an endpoint by adding a resource of type Cybus::Endpoint
and protocol Systemstate
.
The only property you need to configure for read or subscribe is a Resource ID that identifies the component you want to receive updates from. This Resource ID is constructed from the Service ID and the Resource ID, separated by a hyphen character (a minus character: -
).
On a subscribe endpoint, a message with the state notification will be sent on each state change of the respective resource.
With a read endpoint, on the other hand, it is possible to query the current status by sending any message to the topic with suffix req
, then receiving the response on the topic with the suffix res
.
Examples
The examples are using the example commissioning file below. Thus, the MQTT topics might differ in your application but the payload needs to be the same (as long as no JSONata rules are being used).
The protocol produce the following output messages:
