Does anyone have experience with these cards? I currently have a printer using serial communications from my clx L61 serial prot via a AWT instruction. We are Converting DINTs to strings via a DTOS then using CONCAT instructions to put the strings togethter and then send them via the AWT.
I am upgrading the Processor to a L72 which has no serial port. So we have a prosoft MVI56-GSC. I have addeds the AOI and beleive I have the Port config tags set correctly.
The manual says I need to load the tag GSC.Port1Data.WriteString with the message data.
Then set the tag GSC.Port1.WriteLength with the number of characters to send.
The GSC.Port1Data.WriteString tag is a SINT so Im trying to move Just the SINT portion of my String to this tag.
The GSC.Port1.WriteLength Tag is a INT But my LEN portion of MY string is a DINT.
Basically I have a rung saying when I hit a timing mark mov the string data into GSC.Port1Data.WriteString, Then Mov My String Len(DINT) Into GSC.Port1Data.WriteString (SINT).
I guess Im unclear whether this will work with the two different data types for the Lenght as the DINT is 32 bits?
My original String (.LEN and .Data) currently shows a value of '4 0 0' However, the SINT portion or .Data alone only shows a value of '4'. Im do not understand why this is and as such expect a problem.
I have learned what I know about this this weekend and feel I do not completely have a grasp. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. The prosoft support do not seem to be on duty the weekend.
I won't be able to test until runtime so Im trying to be as sure as I can get that it is right.
