Hi Gents, I have connected a Vlinx RS232 to Ethernet Server to Ignition. I can get the Serial Data string when i set the driver up to be of Message type Character Based. It seems that i can only use the keyboard characters as a delimiter here. What i require here is the ASCII Hex value for line Feed (CR = 0xD(Hex)). How can i get the TCP Driver to use the CR Carriage Retrun instead of normal characters. Thanks for the help guys. BTW this is used to connect a Weighing Scale to the system. ---

Using \r should give you a carriage return. The supported special characters supported as delimiters are: ```auto \r Carriage-return \n Line-feed \t Tab \f Form-feed ``` This is somewhat arbitrary so if somebody needs something else added we probably can. ---

Hi Gents, Is it possible to make the TCP IP drivers read write? Even have a check box to make it writeable as well. Would be very usefull for: 1. Using a Serial Ethernet converter one could write a bit of fancy scripting to write commands back to scales etc. 2. Custom RS 232 Equipment that require handshake commands etc Obviously i mean ASCII protocoll only. Regards Sascha ---

Regards Sascha[/quote] There are plans to add a writable tag to the driver that sends any values written to it over the TCP connection. Would this be enough to get what you need done? ---

Hi Kevin, I presume so, so long it arrives in the Ethernet to RS232 converter and it gets sent out to the port in ASCII format. P.S: if you have a beta version of this i wouldn’t mind doing a quick test on it. Regards Sascha ---

I’ll let you have a beta version as soon as I actually get a chance to add the feature 😉 ---

Can I use multiple by entering like {\n,\r} ? ---

If you mean something like `\r\n` being the delimiter, yes that should work. But there’s no syntax or functionality for allowing the logical OR of different delimiters.
