RS232 - dispensing equipment

Postby Iris Gesser » Tue Dec 03, 2019 10:00 pm

Dear community,

is there a sample, how I can start communication with a dispensing equipment using RS232?
Is it possible to make a protocol in FW?
At the moment we communicate with the dispensing equipment using an external software but I think it should be working directly.
I did not find an example in the samples...
I have studied some topics, but I am not sure, if they are relevant for my issues...
I am really a long way off the topic.

Thank you in advance and kind regards
Iris

Surely you need to use the function OpenComm()

nComm := OpenComm( "COM1", 1024, 128 )


I have never used it
