7.1 TCP/IP Functionality

This section describes the main TCP/IP functionality of a datalogger with an

NL115 attached. Additional functionality may be added in the future. For

more information, refer to the Information Services section of the datalogger

manual and CRBasic Editor Help.

7.1.1 Communicating Over TCP/IP

Once the datalogger, the NL115, and LoggerNet have been set up as described

in Sections 4.1, Physical Set-up, and 4.2, Communicating via Ethernet,

communication is possible over TCP/IP. This includes program send and data

collection. These are straightforward operations and are accomplished through

LoggerNet’s Connect Screen. For more information, see the LoggerNet

manual.

Data callback and datalogger-to-datalogger communications are also possible

over TCP/IP, as well as the creation of simple HTML pages to view datalogger

variables using a web browser.

7.1.1.1 Data Callback

The following program is an example of doing data callback over TCP/IP. It

first checks to see if a port to the LoggerNet Server already exists. (The

LoggerNet Server is assumed to be at the default PakBus address, 4094.) If

not, a socket to LoggerNet is opened using the

TCPOpen() instruction. The

SendVariables() instruction is then used to send data.
