Appendix A. CRBasic Programming Instructions • Com310 • ComSDC7 • ComSDC8 • ComSDC10 • ComSDC11 • Com1 (C1,C2) • Com2 (C3,C4) • Com3 (C5,C6) • Com4 (C7,C8) • Com32 - Com46 (available when using a single-channel expansion peripheral. See the appendix Serial Input Expansion Modules ) Baud rate on asynchronous ports (ComRS-232, ComME, Com1, Com2, Com3, Com4, and Com32 - Com46) default to 9600 unless set otherwise in the SerialOpen() instruction, or if the port is opened by an incoming PakBus® packet at some other baud rate. Table Asynchronous Port Baud Rates (p. 514) lists available baud rates. In general, PakBus® instructions write a result code to a variable indicating success or failure. Success sets the result code to 0. Otherwise, the result code increments. If communication succeeds, but an error is detected, a negative result code is set. See CRBasic Editor Help for an explanation of error codes. For instructions returning a result code, retries can be coded with CRBasic logic as shown in the GetVariables() example in CRBasic example Retries in PakBus Communications (p. 514). The Timeout argument is entered in units of hundredths (0.01) of seconds. If 0 is used, then the default timeout, defined by the time of the best route, is used. Use PakBusGraph Hop Metrics to calculate this time (see datalogger support software (p. 77) ). Because these communication instructions wait for a response or timeout before the program moves on to the next instruction, they can be used in a SlowSequence scan. A slow sequence will not interfere with the execution of other program code. Optionally, the ComPort parameter can be entered preceded by a dash, such as -ComME, which will cause the instruction not to wait for a response or timeout. This will make the instruction execute faster; however, any data that it retrieves, and the result code, will be posted only after the communication is complete. AcceptDataRecords Sets up a CR1000 to accept and store records from a remote PakBus datalogger. Syntax AcceptDataRecords(PakBusAddr, TableNo, DestTableName) Broadcast Sends a broadcast message to a PakBus network. Syntax Broadcast(ComPort, Message) 511

)

Baud rate on asynchronous ports (ComRS-232, ComME, Com1, Com2, Com3,

Com4, and Com32 - Com46) default to 9600 unless set otherwise in the

SerialOpen()

instruction, or if the port is opened by an incoming PakBus

packet

at some other baud rate.

Table

Asynchronous Port Baud Rates

(p. 514)

lists

available baud rates.

In general, PakBus

instructions write a result code to a variable indicating

success or failure. Success sets the result code to 0. Otherwise, the result code

increments. If communication succeeds, but an error is detected, a negative result

code is set. See

CRBasic Editor

Help

for an explanation of error codes.

For

instructions returning a result code, retries can be coded with CRBasic logic as

shown in the

GetVariables()

example in CRBasic example

Retries in PakBus

Communications

(p. 514).

The

Timeout

argument is entered in units of hundredths (0.01) of seconds. If 0 is

used, then the default timeout, defined by the time of the best route, is used. Use

PakBusGraph

Hop Metrics

to calculate this time (see

datalogger support software

(p. 77)

Because these communication instructions wait for a response or timeout

before the program moves on to the next instruction, they can be used in a

SlowSequence

scan.

A slow sequence will not interfere with the execution of

other program code. Optionally, the

ComPort

parameter can be entered preceded

by a dash, such as

-ComME

, which will cause the instruction not to wait for a

response or timeout. This will make the instruction execute faster; however, any

data that it retrieves, and the result code, will be posted only after the

communication is complete.

AcceptDataRecords

Sets up a CR1000 to accept and store records from a remote PakBus datalogger.

Syntax

AcceptDataRecords(PakBusAddr, TableNo, DestTableName)

Broadcast

Sends a broadcast message to a PakBus network.

Syntax

Broadcast(ComPort, Message)
