SetSerialPort

Configures settings that are found in the Serial Port Settings dialog. For more information, see Serial Port Settings Dialog.

Note:

The In-Sight system must be Offline.
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 .
In-Sight Micro 1000 series vision systems only support serial communication when connected to the CIO-MICRO or CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module.
There are two options for enabling serial communication for the In-Sight 70xx - 74xx series vision system: using the Breakout cable or using the CIO-MICRO or CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module. When connected to the Breakout cable (and there is no connection to an I/O module), the vision system allows one discrete input line and one discrete output line to be configured as Serial Receive and Serial Transmit, respectively. For more information, see Enable Serial Communication: In-Sight 70xx - 74xx.
In-Sight 8000 series vision systems only support serial communication when connected to the CIO-MICRO I/O module.
The CIO-WENET Ethernet I/O module does not support serial communication.
Use the Store Settings (TS) native mode command to save changes to the proc.set file. If not saved to the proc.set file, the changes will be lost after power-cycling the In-Sight vision system. For more information, see Store Settings.

SetSerialPort Inputs

Syntax: EV SetSerialPort(SerialPortNum,Mode,BaudRate,DataBits,StopBits,Parity,Handshake,InputPacketSize,OutputPacketSize,
InputTerminator,OutputTerminator,FixedInputMode,FixedInputLength,DeviceNetTrigger)

Parameter	Description
SerialPortNum	1
Mode	1 = Unused (Closed) 6 = Text 7 = Native* 8 = DeviceNet 9 = Motoman 10 = Kuka
BaudRate	1200 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200*
DataBits	4 = 7 Data Bits 8 = 8 Data Bits*
StopBits	1 = 1 Stop Bit* 4 = 2 Stop Bits
Parity	256 = None* 512 = Odd 1024 = Even
Handshake	0 = None* 1 = Hardware 2 = Xon/Xoff
InputPacketSize (DeviceNet Only)	1 to 255, 1*
OutputPacketSize (DeviceNet Only)	1 to 255, 1*
InputTerminator (Text and Native Only)	1 to 255, 13*
OutputTerminator (Text and Native Only)	-1 = CRLF 0 = No terminator 1 to 255, 13*
FixedInputMode (Text and Native Only)	0 = Disabled* 1 = Enabled
FixedInputLength (Text and Native Only)	1 to 255, 1*
DeviceNetTrigger (DeviceNet Only)	0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled*
* denotes default value

SetSerialPort Outputs

Returns a status code, followed by the number of characters (in bytes) for the results, then the results in XML format. The status codes are:

Status Codes	Description
1	The command was executed successfully.
0	Unrecognized command.
-2	The command could not be executed.
-6	User does not have Full Access to execute the command. For more information, see User Access Settings Dialog.

SetSerialPort Example

To configure the following settings:

SerialPortNum: 1
Mode: 7
BaudRate: 115200
DataBits: 8
StopBits: 1
Parity: 256
Handshake: 0
InputPacketSize: 0
OutputPacketSize: 0
InputTerminator: 13
OutputTerminator: 13
FixedInputMode: 0
FixedInputLength: 0
DeviceNetTrigger: 1

Issue the following command: EV SetSerialPort(1,7,115200,8,1,256,0,0,0,13,13,0,0,1)

The In-Sight vision system responds with a status code (1), followed by the number of characters, in bytes (18). Finally, the results are returned in XML format.
