device_id
string
必填
Target PX4 device ID
​

​
payload
object
必填
Typed request payload for this command. Field names are generated from PX4 MAVLink XML labels, but callers do not send raw param1..param7 fields.
​
payload.message_id
number
Meaning: Message ID; maps to MAVLink parameter 1 in the PX4 frame.
​
payload.interval
number
Meaning: Interval, units us; maps to MAVLink parameter 2 in the PX4 frame.
​
payload.req_param_3
number
Meaning: Req Param 3; maps to MAVLink parameter 3 in the PX4 frame.
​
payload.req_param_4
number
Meaning: Req Param 4; maps to MAVLink parameter 4 in the PX4 frame.
​
payload.req_param_5
number
Meaning: Req Param 5; maps to MAVLink parameter 5 in the PX4 frame.
​
payload.req_param_6
number
Meaning: Req Param 6; maps to MAVLink parameter 6 in the PX4 frame.
​
payload.response_target
number
Meaning: Response Target; maps to MAVLink parameter 7 in the PX4 frame.

​
PX4 Frame Mapping

  • MAVLink command: MAV_CMD_SET_MESSAGE_INTERVAL
  • Command ID: 511
  • Default transport: COMMAND_LONG
  • Source XML: common.xml
  • Completion: COMMAND_ACK
  • Guard: real PX4 downlink is disabled by default; guarded mode requires explicit authorization and a ready transport.

​
accepted_at
string(datetime)
Command acceptance time (UTC)

​
Query Response

​

​
status
string
Execution status: ACCEPTED / DELIVERED / SUCCEEDED / FAILED / TIMED_OUT / UNMATCHED_RESPONSE
​
vendor
string
Vendor identifier; fixed value px4
​
device_id
string
Target PX4 device ID
​
command_type
string
PX4 command type
​
response_code
string

string
PX4 acknowledgement summary
​
vendor_response
object
Raw PX4 acknowledgement summary, including MAVLink command ID and transport

​
PX4 ACK Mapping

After sending the frame, the PX4 agent waits for COMMAND_ACK and correlates the response by command id. Disabled mode sends no frame and completes with a rejected lifecycle result.
