Channel

When triggered, the Channel protocol block transmits a message on a CtrlNet channel.

CtrlNet channels can be used to present data to all elements of Ctrl Suite without requiring data to be defined as a specific protocol type. Information is transmitted securely. Multiple channels can be defined per workspace.

Select the CtrlNet Channel for the message to be transmitted over.

• Channel - Select the CtrlNet Channel on which this block will transmit messages by selecting it from the dropdown list. (Or Navigate to Workspace Settings to create a new one).
• Tag (optional) - Define a tag to target specific Ctrl Suite endpoints listening for this.
• Message - Define the message to be sent over the CtrlNet channel when the block is triggered. This can be a string, number, object or array.

To set values in quick succession with precise timing, creating an Action is a better option compared to triggering multiple protocol blocks with Delay timers.
