| 1 | +# TLC Proxy |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The `RSMP::TLC::TrafficLightControllerProxy` is a specialized proxy class for handling communication with remote Traffic Light Controller (TLC) sites. It extends the base `SiteProxy` class to provide high-level methods for common TLC operations. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Features |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The TLC proxy provides convenient methods that abstract away the low-level RSMP message handling for common TLC operations: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +### Signal Plan Management |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +- **`set_plan(plan_nr, security_code:, options: {})`** - Sets the active signal plan using M0002 command |
| 14 | +- **`fetch_signal_plan(options: {})`** - Retrieves current signal plan information using S0014 status request |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Automatic Detection |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +When a TLC site connects to a supervisor, the supervisor automatically detects that it's a TLC based on the site configuration (`sxl: 'tlc'`) and creates a `TrafficLightControllerProxy` instead of a generic `SiteProxy`. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +This happens in the supervisor's connection handling: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +```ruby |
| 23 | +# In supervisor configuration |
| 24 | +supervisor_settings = { |
| 25 | + 'sites' => { |
| 26 | + 'TLC001' => { 'sxl' => 'tlc' } |
| 27 | + }, |
| 28 | + 'guest' => { 'sxl' => 'tlc' } # For unknown TLC sites |
| 29 | +} |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +# When TLC001 connects, supervisor creates TLCProxy automatically |
| 32 | +tlc_proxy = supervisor.wait_for_site('TLC001') |
| 33 | +# tlc_proxy is now an instance of TrafficLightControllerProxy |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Usage Examples |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +### Setting a Signal Plan |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +```ruby |
| 41 | +# Set signal plan 3 with security code |
| 42 | +result = tlc_proxy.set_plan(3, security_code: '2222') |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +# Set plan and collect the response |
| 45 | +result = tlc_proxy.set_plan(2, |
| 46 | + security_code: '2222', |
| 47 | + options: { collect: { timeout: 5 } } |
| 48 | +) |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +# Check if command was successful |
| 51 | +if result[:collector].ok? |
| 52 | + puts "Signal plan changed successfully" |
| 53 | +else |
| 54 | + puts "Failed to change signal plan" |
| 55 | +end |
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### Fetching Current Signal Plan |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +```ruby |
| 61 | +# Get current signal plan information |
| 62 | +result = tlc_proxy.fetch_signal_plan(collect: { timeout: 5 }) |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +if result[:collector].ok? |
| 65 | + response = result[:collector].messages.first |
| 66 | + status_items = response.attribute('sS') |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | + # Find current plan and source |
| 69 | + current_plan = status_items.find { |item| item['n'] == 'status' }['s'] |
| 70 | + plan_source = status_items.find { |item| item['n'] == 'source' }['s'] |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | + puts "Current signal plan: #{current_plan} (source: #{plan_source})" |
| 73 | +end |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +### Error Handling |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +```ruby |
| 79 | +begin |
| 80 | + result = tlc_proxy.set_plan(5, security_code: 'wrong_code') |
| 81 | +rescue RSMP::NotReady |
| 82 | + puts "TLC is not ready for commands" |
| 83 | +rescue RSMP::MessageRejected => e |
| 84 | + puts "Command rejected: #{e.message}" |
| 85 | +end |
| 86 | +``` |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +## RSMP Message Details |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +### M0002 - Set Signal Plan |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +The `set_plan` method sends an M0002 command with the following parameters: |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +- `status`: "True" (activate the plan) |
| 95 | +- `securityCode`: The provided security code |
| 96 | +- `timeplan`: The signal plan number |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +### S0014 - Signal Plan Status |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +The `fetch_signal_plan` method requests S0014 status with: |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +- `status`: Current active signal plan number |
| 103 | +- `source`: Source of the current plan (e.g., "forced", "startup", "clock") |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +## Integration with Existing Code |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +The TLC proxy seamlessly integrates with existing RSMP infrastructure: |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +- Inherits all base functionality from `SiteProxy` |
| 110 | +- Uses existing message sending and collection mechanisms |
| 111 | +- Works with existing logging and error handling |
| 112 | +- Compatible with all existing proxy configuration options |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +## Testing |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +Comprehensive tests are included: |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +- Unit tests for method behavior and parameter validation |
| 119 | +- Integration tests with real TLC site connections |
| 120 | +- Error handling and edge case testing |
| 121 | +- Supervisor proxy creation testing |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +## Implementation Notes |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +- The TLC proxy automatically finds the main TLC component (grouped component) |
| 126 | +- All security and validation is handled by the underlying TLC site implementation |
| 127 | +- The proxy provides a cleaner API while maintaining full RSMP protocol compliance |
| 128 | +- Thread-safe and async-compatible with the rest of the RSMP framework |
