I'm trying to interface an SLC5/03 with the serial port on a PC using C++ code and some 'pre-made' serial to DF1 conversion packages. Any suggestions on simple effective API or ActiveX packages, my C++ is not so good.... so the
easier, the better !!
I've tryed SEG's HighwayVIEW API, and had some success, but the cost of the packages is to high. My boss does not want to continually be paying runtime license. I've also had a crack at using Automated Solutions ASABSerial ActiveX plug in but the example C++ code is more advanced than anything i've ever had to do, and as an undergraduate uni student, i suppose that's to be expected.
I don't need to have graphical interfaces or any user display at all. All that is required is to poll the SLC for data, have the serial PC read the data and then have it avaliable to a standard 10/100 ethernet. I'm new to all of this
automation stuff, in fact, this is my first job in the industry and i'm a little lost.... Please help before i decide to take the SLC for a swim whilst still plugged in to power !!!
