Rockwell Automation 5370-CUPK Color CVIM USER-PAK Option - Manual (Page 15)

Chapter 2
Introduction to the USER–PAK Option
2 – 4
For communication between the Color CVIM module and a remote device,
the Color CVIM module has two serial ports. With the USER-PAK option
installed, you can create your own custom serial port messages for
transmission through the serial port. The messages consist of ASCII
characters. These messages can be transmitted automatically by the Color
CVIM module upon the occurrence of a specified “event” – they need not be
“solicited” (requested by command) by the connected device.
Figure 2.4 Creating custom serial port messages
You create serial port messages using the Config. Output feature, which
becomes available on the Envir/Cam menu with the USER-PAK option
installed.
Within each message you can send literal text, results and other data on
specific tools, statistical data, and other information. You can also define the
conditions under which a serial message is transmitted – the message can be
sent after each inspection, or only upon certain conditions, such as the failure
of a specific tool, for instance.
