DustNetwork represents a tree of SmartMesh Manager clients and ancillary objects. This network-level component is a NiagaraAX Framework convention, and has no physical equivalent in any Dust Networks system.
The DustNetwork has the standard network components and status properties such as status and enabled—see “Common network components” in the Drivers Guide for more details.
In addition, the following DustNetwork properties are unique or have special importance:
-
Status
Will be fault if the Dust driver is not properly licensed. The license feature entry is “dust”.
-
Thread Pool
This controls the number of threads used to execute all actions of all Dust components in the network. This includes most communications with remote devices, which can be multi-threaded, so if there are performance issues, you can increase the number of threads. Data updates and events on the notification port cannot be optimized with the number of threads.
Max Threads: Default value is 4.
