RedLion Raw RS-232 Serial Input

Good morning and new to the forum.

Attempting to configure a RedLion CU30D using it's RS-232 port to log the input stream. "Raw" ASCII data is considered a third party device?? Per RedLion, this requires a separate program that acts as a receive routine?

Has anyone ran into this?

Many thanks!

A search for a Red Lion CU30D doesn't get any hits, what is used to program it? Could find a DA30D.

Welcome to the PLCTalk forum community !

Please describe your device in more detail and your application in more context.

In general, you'll need to set up the serial port for "Raw Serial" mode as a Master, and call a Program on the OnUpdate() event.

That Program is what will read the buffers (PortRead and PortWrite and inByte instructions), process the strings, manipulate tags, and all that good stuff.

I don't have a general purpose example of "read the port and log the data" but there are some expert Red Lion folks here who can point you in the right direction.

My bad! It is a DA30D! I'm using the latest version of Crimson!


Thank you!
