Serial and TCP/IP Communication
1, there must have another software or program have port communication function, like comport
assistant or PLC.
There have two computers, one is our ezcad software, (PC1), and another one is PLC or program,
(PC2) Different place have different program, you must find out it.
2, connect PC1 and PC2 by RS232 port, so there have COM port could be find on device manager.
(on the pic, what l use is com port assistant, so it show like that)
On this step, the COM port must be find, for example, PC1 is COM1, PC2 is COM2. And then open
program(PC2)
3, Setting Com port and Ezcad software.
4, first, open com port on PC2,
Now, Com port already open.
The ezcad will show like
Then, click mark, the PC2 will received command, like the pic, now, we could send data to ezcad,
for our assistant program, l have to input 12345+Enter
Input 12345+Enter, and then click send, PC1 will start marking 12345.
TCP/IP communication
PC1 is our software, PC2 is TCP communication program or PLC, it is same.
1, check the IP address of PC2,
A) , Windows+R, then input ‘cmd’, then input command ipconfig/all+Enter
B) Check IP address.
2, open TCP communication program, open TCP port and setting password,
3, open ezcad software, and get right setting.
Then click ok. The softwware will show
4, click mark, the TCP program will receive command,
5, send marking string by TCP communication program.
NOTICE:
1, the command cannot be send, just content, it is mean, you send ‘123’, the marking will be
‘123’, we cannot received command.
2, after mark, the character on the software not be change, always the one that we input, but
mark will be what you send.
3, ezcad3.0 have same way with ezcad2.0.
4, if don’t use TCP program, PLC is same way for use.
(PC1 and PC2 must link to same net or LAN)
