Passing IP Address to a Netlinx Module

tpeery

Does anyone have any example of how to pass an IP address to a Netlinx Module?

the8thst

DEFINE_VARIABLE
char cMY_IP[] = '192.168.1.125'

define_module 'MyModule' instance1 (cMY_IP)

Is that what you are asking for?

I have defined my ip address in my define module like this.

(dev vdvprojector, dev dvprojector,dev dvtp, char lamp_hour_text_field, CHAR projector_ip)

Then in my main program I have defined like this

comm(vDVMON1,DVPROJECTOR1,dvtp,14,projector_1_ip)

What I get in the complier is that the char of projector_1_ip is that it is an expression.

Any ideas?

Both amp_hour_text_field and projector_ip are being declared as single byte character variables. You want to make them into an array of appropriate length.

Change

(dev vdvprojector, dev dvprojector,dev dvtp, char lamp_hour_text_field, CHAR projector_ip)

to

(dev vdvprojector, dev dvprojector,dev dvtp, char lamp_hour_text_field[4], CHAR projector_ip[15])

I just guessed on the lamp hour length.

Thanks I got it!! I actually was define the them as constants and not variables.
