dear cd,
so how does I send this string to the comm port....
"<ENQ>02FFTT1AB CDE07"
and since this string is a PLC command there will be repond from the PLC if
this is send successfull. The PLC device Receive Data indicator stated it's
received but no respond??!???!! definately need help....below is my code.
//this is where I pass the data....
m_CommPort->Write( Encoding::ASCII->GetBytes(ch) );
m_CommPort->Write( Encoding::ASCII->GetBytes ("02FFTT1ABCDE0 7" ) );
Below is my class funciton....
// This function writes the passed array of bytes to the
// Comm Port to be written.
System::Void Write(Byte Buffer[])
{
DWORD iBytesWritten, iRc;
if (mhRS == (HANDLE)-1)
{
throw new ApplicationExce ption(S"Please initialize and open port before
using this method");
}
else
{
// Transmit data to COM Port
if (meMode == Mode::Overlappe d)
{
// Overlapped write
if (pHandleOverlap pedWrite(Buffer ))
throw new ApplicationExce ption(S"Error in overlapped write");
}
else
{
// Clears IO buffers
PurgeComm(mhRS, PURGE_RXCLEAR | PURGE_TXCLEAR);
// Convert name from String to Ansi char string
System::Text::A SCIIEncoding* encoder = new System::Text::A SCIIEncoding();
Byte __pin* abytes = &Buffer[0];
iRc = WriteFile(mhRS, (char*)abytes, Buffer->Length, &iBytesWritt en, 0);
if (iRc == 0)
{
String* strErr = String::Format( S"Write Error - Bytes Written {0} of
{1}", iBytesWritten.T oString(), Buffer->Length.ToStrin g());
throw new ApplicationExce ption(strErr);
}
}
}
}
// This function writes the passed string to the
// Comm Port to be written.
System::Void Write(String* Buffer)
{
System::Text::A SCIIEncoding* oEncoder = new System::Text::A SCIIEncoding();
Byte aByte[] = oEncoder->GetBytes(Buffe r);
this->Write(aByte) ;
}

i need to send chr$(5) to serial port/comm port but using visual c++
language...
thanks in advanced....
In C and C++ char is an integer type so...
char ch = 5;
is legal, and is the same value as chr$(5) in Basic.
Note that this is different from
char ch = '5';
which is also legal, but is a different character value: the value 53 in
ASCII or Unicode, where the other example is, of course, the value 5.
