COM Port Support Package

The COM port support package enables Engee to work with serial interfaces (integrated motherboard COM and USB-COM adapters) using library blocks COM. The package runs on top of the subsystem Engee.Integrations and it allows you to organize data exchange via the serial port (settings are set in the block parameters).

Requirements

  • The Engee subsystem is installed and running.Integration.

  • Drivers/utilities are installed for the USB-COM adapter, if required by the OS.

  • The port name is known (for example, COM3 in Windows, /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyS0 on Linux).

Quick start

  1. Install or connect the Engee subsystem.Integrations as shown in article.

  2. Connect the USB-COM adapter (or use the built-in port) and make sure it is installed in the system.

    • Windows: check the port name in the Device Manager (for example, COM3).

    • Linux: Check the device in /dev/ (for example, /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyS0).

  3. Now you can use blocks from the library. COM.
