Demo 1 Block Diagram
NOTE: This block diagram shows the use of a virtual COM port for TCP/IP communications with
the server. For serial communications using RS-232, the virtual COM port is simply replaced with a
real COM port.
Demo 1 SIMPL Windows Program
Building this simplest example is trivial. Only two items need to be added to the
control system in the Configuration Manager workspace in SIMPL Windows. From
the Control Systems folder in the Device Library select CNMSX-PRO; and also add
a two-way serial driver to a COM port on the CNXCOM-6 board from the
Serial Drivers (General) folder (or add a Virtual Communication Port from the
Ethernet Control Modules folder and a driver as above).
In the Programming Manager, the other two blocks are added to the system from the
Logic Symbols folder in the Symbol Library: Interlock is selected from the Memory
sub-folder and Send e-Mail is selected from the System Control sub-folder.
Demo 2: The LookupMsg and LookupRcpt Signals
This example demonstrates use of analog “lookup” signals. These signals choose
messages and recipients based on the signal values. An additional signal, SendNow,
is required to actually send the constructed message.
A “lookup” requires the program to search for various information in a database
table based on a search key (a record ID number). Demo 2 illustrates the use of the
lookup signals available as inputs to the supplied Send e-Mail symbol. Refer to the
block diagram after this paragraph for an overall graphical representation of this
