Inputs

Input

Data type

Description

Configuration of the communication port.

DATASND

Outputs

Output

Data type

Description

OPEN

BOOL

TRUE if the communication port is open.

RCV

BOOL

TRUE if data has been received.

ERR

BOOL

TRUE if error detected during sending data.

DATARCV

STRING

Received data.

Remarks

The RUN input does not include an edge detection. The block tries to open the port on each call if RUN is TRUE and if the port is still not successfully open. The CONF input is used for settings when opening the port. Please refer to your OEM instructions for further details about possible parameters.

The SND input does not include an edge detection. Characters are sent on each call if SND is TRUE and DATASND is not empty.

The DATARCV string is erased on each cycle with received data (if any). Your application is responsible for checking or storing received character immediately after the call to SERIO block.

SERIO is available during simulation. In that case, the CONF input defines the communication port according to the syntax of the MODE command. For example:

   'COM1:9600,N,8,1'

The SERIO block may not be supported on some targets. Refer to your OEM instructions for further details.
