WriteDeviceNetBuffer

Writes data from a referenced Buffer structure created bythe FormatOutputBuffer function tobe read by a DeviceNetInterface Module attached to the serial port of an In-Sight sensor.For more information, see FormatOutputBuffer.

Note:

The selected serial port must be configured for DeviceNet communications, and the In-Sight vision system must be Online. For more information, see Serial Port Settings Dialog.
Jobs containing this function that are saved in In-Sight Explorer 3.3.0 or higher are only compatible with In-Sight Explorer 3.3.0 and higher.
DeviceNet is only available on In-Sight vision systems using In-Sight firmware 4.x.x, and is not available on In-Sight vision systems running In-Sight firmware 5.1.0 and later. For a complete list of models and supported firmware versions, see Firmware Versions .
The WriteDeviceNet function requires a third-party RS-232-to-DeviceNet Gateway adapter.This function is available for legacy installations and should not be used in new applications, unless the RS-232-to-DeviceNet Gateway converter has been thoroughly tested to verify it is suitable for the application.
