Communications Toolbox
Communications Toolbox
The Communications Toolbox contains functions to provide advanced communication protocols such as DNS,
SMTP, and FTP. Also included in the toolbox are a set of functions designed to parse a stream of commands and
parameter data from either a serial port or TCP socket into useful machine commands.
Command Streaming Overview
The following graphic shows the organizational flow of functions that are part of the command streaming
feature. Certain components of the Command Streaming code require customization for use in your project.
The following must be copied from the toolbox, pasted, and renamed in your project.
1. ReName_Communications_Mgr POU
2. ReNameCommandProcessor
3. MyMachineStruct and any relevant sub structures. This may be significantly customized based on your
application.
The command streaming tools provided in the Comm Toolbox are designed to interpret commands starting with
a two character command code followed by either delimiter separated parameters or no parameters. Example
commands are provided in this documentation.
