Description
This block will send the current data in the block to another station using Sutron Standard
Protocol (SSP) communications. The properties for the block specify the port to use for the
communications and the path or station name. The port can be specified only if you have first
used the Setup tab Coms (SSP/CL) entry to define some communications ports. The path can be
a simple station name or a station with full path information included (such as
\
patha \ pathb \ stationx ). When the Port selection is “TCP/IP”, enter the URL to the destination.
The Tag property must match the name specified in a COMS Tag in the named station.
For example, Station 1 is measuring water level and wants to send the water level to Station 2.
Add a SendTag block after the measure of the water level in Station 1. Set the Name to
WaterLevel and also set the port and path for the link between the two stations. In Station 2, add
a COMS Tag and set the name property to WaterLevel. Now, whenever the SendTag block runs,
the code will send the water level to the COMS tag block in Station 2.
