This post has someting to do with the thread:
I have a T100MX-4832 with an MDS 100 Display and two ICP I-7018 A/D Converters hooked to the T100MX COMM 3 port. Everyting goes nice and neat till I try to connect the whole jig to a PC through an Auto 485 converter ... Not just while the converter is connected to the 485 line but as soon as the converter gets plugged into the PC and nothing happening on the RS232 there, just the disabled port ! The T100MX becomes incredibly sloooow, monitoring with TL Server and TriLogi through COMM 1, even with another PC, also, besides MDS 100 display comes up showing some garbled, misplaced or unwanted texts. Data coming from the A/D's seems to be unaffected.
Forcing the RS232 on the PC into a known state and silencing any eventual transmission through the port doesn't change this behaviour. Poking around with the c++ thing I composed to do so and bringing the receiver to a text window showed a lot of garbage in between the display messages, but quite clean coming and going to the A/D's. Display and A/D routines are based on NETCMD$, A/D's are interrogated at a per second rate and display is updated 5 times slower. So ... question: what may be happening here ?
Another question: some code or library for native TriLogi protocol in C++ to be found somewhere ? I am trying to build a display and logger for the application with the setup described here. The application monitors 14 temperatures and controls heating and ventilating under time controlled conditions.
Best regards, and thank you for your support.
