Controlling WinWedge from InTouch
(i.e. to send commands and data out the serial port from InTouch)
InTouch 5.0 (and above) introduced the WWExecute function. This function can
be used to automate other Microsoft Windows programs from Wonderware InTouch.
WinWedge can be used to send data out the PC serial port directly from InTouch.
For example, to send the ASCII Char 27 out of port COM1, use the following InTouch
script:
| |
WWExecute("Winwedge","Com1","[SENDCODE(27)]")
;
|
To Toggle the DTR signal which is usually used to hang up on
a modem, execute the
following InTouch statement:
| |
WWExecute("WinWedge", "Com1", "[TOGGLEDTR])
;
|
Once the modem is off the hook,
the following InTouch statement can be execute to dial the
modem :
| |
WWExecute("WinWedge", "Com1", "[SEND(ATDT
555-1212)]") ;
WWExecute("WinWedge", "Com1", "[SENDCODE(13)]")
;
WWExecute("WinWedge", "Com1", "[SENDCODE(10)]")
;
|
The above three statements can
also be combined into the following single statement:
| |
WWexecute("WinWedge", "Com1", "[SEND(ATDT 555-1212" +
StringChar(13) + StringChar(10) + ")]") ;
|
Refer to WinWedge manual under
The WinWedge DDE Command Set for
other commands. |
