7.1.1.2 Datalogger-to-Datalogger Communication

Communication between dataloggers is possible over TCP/IP. In order to do

this, a socket must be opened between the two dataloggers using the

TCPOpen() instruction. The socket opened by this instruction is used by the

instructions performing datalogger-to-datalogger communication.

The example program below gets the battery voltage from a remote datalogger

and sends its panel temperature to the remote datalogger. The remote

datalogger is at IP address 192.168.7.125 and port 6785 is used for

communication between the dataloggers. The remote datalogger must have its

battery voltage stored in a public variable, BattVolt. It must also have a Public

variable declared, PTemp_Base. This will be used to store the panel

temperature of the base datalogger.
