Figure. 1 Serial. Port VB2. 01. 0 Example  Form. The program was built using a pull down menu for. COM port selection, an OPEN COM Port button, three. Send command buttons, and a text box to display received  ASCII data. When run, the port is. Pull Down Menu and enabled when the OPEN COM Port. The Send RDO button sends an ASCII RDO. Chr1. 3 out on the COM port. The Chr1. 3 is required by the ADR1. Two additional buttons send. SETPA0 and RESPA0 commands also terminated with Chr1. Bit PA0 on PORTA of the ADR1. Figure 2 shows the program running with an. ADR1. 12 connected to COM3. When the Send RD0 button was pressed. ADR1. 12 returned ASCII  1. This shows the ADR1. X 5 2. 0. 89. 1V. The number 4. ADR1. VDC. Figure. 2 Serial. Port VB2. 01. 0 Example Running. The entire program code is shown in Figure 3 and. Figure 4. The code is heavily commented and a few explanations are. Figure 3  Opening the COM Port and Some Housekeeping. In Figure 3, we first declare a COM port assign it a label of ADRport. Next, we check to see if the port is already open and if so we close. The next block of code creates our pull down combobox with an array. COM1 to COM2. 0. This value can be increased if desired. The last block of code is for the OPEN COM Port button. When the. button is pressed, the value in the combobox is used to open the. COM port and give it a label of ADRport. Further, the text. CPA1. 11. 11. 11. Chr1. 3 is sent out on the COM port to configure. Digital IO port so that PA0 is an output. This is required by the. ADR1. 12 and depending on your hardware, initialization may or may not be. Figure 4  Sending Commands and Receiving Data. Figure 4 is where the sending and receiving of data happens under. Form. 1. The first block of code uses TRY CATCH to send an RDO Chr1. ADR1. 12 to retrieve the value of analog port AN0. Form. 1. Thread. Sleep2. This gives time for the command to be sent out. COM3 to the ADR1. Catch ex As Timeout. Exception is used. COM port. If. there is a timeout, we print No Data in the text box and enable a. We have set the. timeout to 1. If you are running the program without. ADR1. 12 connected these events will be triggered. The following two subroutines simply send either SETPA0 Chr1. RESPA0Chr1. 3 to set or reset PA0 on the. ADR1. 12 depending on what button has been pressed. FURTHER NOTES and Programming Hints 1. USING VARIABLES In many cases it may be desired. For example, the. MAddd command outputs to port A, the integer value ddd. If ddd is a variable. PV, a string to set the port to the value of this variable would look like ADRport. Write MA StrPV Chr1. The Str function converts the variable to an ASCII. MA.   The Chr1. 3 is a carriage return.

I mentioned in my previous post. I mentioned 2 wire and 4 wire RS4. RS4. 22. RS4. 22 and RS4. If you look at an RS2. Transmit. Data TX and another for Receive. Data RX. The signal levels can be between 1. So, the minimum number of wires that RS2. They are TX, RX and GNDThe problem with RS2. RS4. 22 does not use a GND at all. The TX is actually 2 wires. TX and TX and the RX is also 2 wires RX and RX. RS4. 22 also allows full hardware flow control in which case theres also RTS and RTS and CTS and CTS and as you can imagine the whole thing can require quite a few wire although as a minimum to just carry the RX and TX youd need 4 wires. The signal levels are between 3 and 3 volts. These two wires are twisted around each other twisted pair so that any interference affects both wires equally so if there was a sudden voltage swing theyd both spike up or down together and the difference between the two wires differential signal remains constant and therefore reliable. Consequentially RS4. Much further than RS2. Using those 4 wires. TX TX RX and RX you can connect more than one device to the same wires in a kind of network. Any message sent by one device would be received by all other devices. Picture the message display system in an airport where they all simply display the same data which is being broadcast from a master device. Obviously if any of those slave devices needed to send a message back to the master then the master wouldnt know which device was talking also the master wouldnt have any way to send a message to just one specific display. So, if you added an ID of some description to the start of each message you can say which device the message is for. As soon as you do this you have a protocol and suddenly were talking about RS4. The protocol would require a packet of data that contains a device ID. The master device sends a poll command to a specific device. All devices on the network will hear that poll command allowing you to broadcast something such as updating all the displays in an airport with the lastest cancellation information. But by using the ID only the relevant device will reply and the master and slave can talk to each other while other devices ignore the conversation. So yes, you could connect more than one device to the wire as long as the protocol specifies a device ID. If the protocol does not contain a device ID then youd have no way of talking directly to one device or know which device was talking to you. RS2. 32 is quite strict about which pins are used for the various signals. But there is no such standard for RS4. RS4. 85 Lots of hardware just uses screw terminals. Some will use the same kind of connection as an RS2. So far Ive described 4 wire RS4. Various Types Of System Programs. There is also a thing called 2 wire RS4. This is where TX and RX share the same wire. As does TX and RX so you only need two wires. The master enables its transmitter, sends the poll command and immediately switches off its transmitter allowing the slave device to reply down the same wire. This quick power onoff is what we refer to as Turn Round Time. Its not complicated but for the uninitiated the turn round timing can be quite difficult to do the first time you make your own 2 wire 4. Using 4 wire 4. 85 is much easier. If your computer has 4 wire 4. I wont go there unless you need to. Do you Unfortunately I cant give you much help regarding your specific application because, as I said, RS4. RS2. 32 but I hope ive given you something to work with.
