The Text Output for
SAIA-PCD allows you to create an application to send formatted text messages
without writing a single line of PCD code. The library is designed to work
with the Engiby Configurator which uses MS-Excel files.
This offers you many advantages like:
- a very good overview of your texts
- a comfortable editing tool (MS-Excel or Open Office)
- text length formatting by the compilator
- well definable line structure by use of models
- useful pre-formatted texts and variables
(PCD Time, PCD Date, Spaces, Marks,
Line jump, etc…)
- inclusion of PCD variables with physical addresses or global symbols,
including format.
- simple way for creating a multi language application using the compilation
options
The application is able to send the text message:
- to a serial line
- over Modem (as free text without particular protocol)
- on a TCP or UDP channel
- as SMS message
(modem and SMS use the SAIA’s Modem package)
The condition to use this tool is that no protocol structure like sequence
numbering, length byte, checksum and timeout are required and unidirectional
communication is used (or replay can be ignored).
