rsipkema Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi, Is there an updated manual for PCOMMServer for download somewhere? I ordered a license from my local distributor, but have already been experimenting with the PCOMMServer included with PEWIN32 to get started. I got a manual for PCOMMServer 32 but it doesn't mention e.g. thePLC Status functions which I saw mentioned on this forum somewhere. Is the manual I have outdated or are these functions undocumented? TIA –Ronald Sipkema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I understand, but the manual I have here doesn't have documentation on the "over 400 functions" mentioned on the website; which leads me to believe I have an older manual. I saw mention on the forums here of a function GetPlcStatus, the use of which was recommended over reading the bits yourself. When I look at the functions that the IPmacDevice interface has there's a whole lot of them that are not in the manual I have (Pcomm Server Pro2 Library, rev 2, June 8, 2007). I wanted to know whether there's an updated manual that comes with the software (which I'll hopefully receive this week) and if it's possible to download the manual so I can get acquainted with the material. --Ronald Sipkema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibitor Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yes,after 2 years,I still have the same question with you. the SDK document in the installation,named "PcommServer document" is just inforamtion about part of the library functions! I think the document is most important component of the entire product.especially be in software product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I agree. The documentation of the PCommServer and the PCommServerLib is way too poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
