Turbine Computer Port

Turbine Computer Port
Name	Turbine Computer Port
Source Mod	Big Reactors
ID Name	Unknown
First Appearance	MC 1.6.4
Type	Multi-block Part
Stackable	Unknown

The Turbine Computer Port is a utility block that can be used to monitor or control a multi-block turbine remotely using ComputerCraft's Computers.

The Computer Port provides the finest level of control over a turbine's operation, and is capable of querying and controlling a turbine much faster than either Redstone or RedNet. It acts like a standard ComputerCraft Peripheral. A Computer Port may be placed on any exterior turbine face, within the outer frame. This includes the top and bottom faces.

Lua Methods (0.3)

Method Name	Arguments	Return Type	Description
getConnected	None	Boolean	Returns true if the computer port is connected to a valid multi-block turbine.
getActive	None	Boolean	Returns true if the turbine is active (consuming hot fluid and generating power), false otherwise.
getEnergyStored	None	Integer	Returns the amount of energy stored in the multi-block turbine's internal energy buffer, in Redstone Flux (RF) units
getRotorSpeed	None	Float	Returns the rotational velocity of the multi-block turbine's rotor, in Rotations Per Minute (RPMs)
getInputAmount	None	Integer	Returns the amount of fluid contained in the multi-block turbine's hot-fluid intake tank, in milli-buckets (mB)
getInputType	None	String or Nil	Returns the Fluid Dictionary name of the fluid contained in the multi-block turbine's hot-fluid intake tank, or Nil if the tank is empty
getOutputAmount	None	Integer	Returns the amount of fluid contained in the multi-block turbine's effluent outlet tank, in milli-buckets (mB)
getOutputType	None	String or Nil	Returns the Fluid Dictionary name of the fluid contained in the multi-block turbine's effluent outlet tank, or Nil if the tank is empty
getFluidAmountMax	None	Integer	Returns the maximum amount of fluid which the Turbine's fluid tanks may contain, in milli-buckets (mB)
getFluidFlowRate	None	Integer	Returns the amount of hot fluid which the turbine consumed in the last tick, in milli-buckets (mB)
getFluidFlowRateMax	None	Integer	Returns the user setting governing the maximum desired amount of fluid for the multi-block turbine to consume per tick, in milli-buckets (mB)
getFluidFlowRateMaxMax	None	Integer	Returns the maximum permissible user setting for the desired fluid flow rate, in milli-buckets (mB). Normally returns 2000 mB
getEnergyProducedLastTick	None	Float	Returns the amount of energy the multi-block turbine produced in the last tick, in Redstone Flux (RF) units
getInductorEngaged	None	boolean	Returns true if the coils are engaged (generating power and exerting drag on the rotor), otherwise false.
setActive	Boolean: active?	None	Sets the reactor to be active if the argument is true, or inactive if the argument is false
setFluidFlowRateMax	Integer: flow rate (0 through FluidFlowRateMaxMax)	None	Sets the player's desired maximum rate at which the multi-block turbine will consume intake fluids. Range is from 0 (not inserted) to the return value of getFluidFlowRateMaxMax (normally 2000).
setVentNone	None	None	Sets the multi-block turbine to never vent its condensed/cooled fluids. This is identical to pressing the "Vent: None" button in the turbine's GUI.
setVentOverflow	None	None	Sets the multi-block turbine to vent its condensed/cooled fluids if they cannot be placed in the condensed fluid (outlet) tank. This is identical to pressing the "Vent: Overflow" button in the turbine's GUI.
setVentAll	None	None	Sets the multi-block turbine to always vent its condensed/cooled fluids, so the turbine will never create condensed fluid when processing hot fluids. This is identical to pressing the "Vent: All" button in the turbine's GUI.
setInductorEngaged	Boolean: engaged?	None	Activates or deactivates the turbine's induction coils. When inactive, power will not be generated and less energy will be removed from the turbine's rotor. This is identical to pressing the "Engage/Disengage Coils" button in the turbine's GUI.

Notes

When writing programs to control your turbine, you should always ensure that the Computer Port is actually connected. Turbines located far away may disassemble and deactivate due to chunks unloading from the world. If your turbine is not chunkloaded, make sure to call getConnected().

If a Computer Port receives a non-getConnected() call and is not connected to a valid turbine, it will throw a Lua exception back to the Computer.

Example

Assuming your Computer Port is directly behind your Computer:

local turbine
turbine= peripheral.wrap("back")
turbine.getRotorSpeed()
turbine.setActive(true)
