Tech EthernetKRL

    Hi all,
    Have anyone try to connect KRC4 with Matrox Designed Assitant by Tech EthernetKRL? I have followed the example in document but RevieveData i got from NetworkReader didn't what i expected e.g. <Command/CHECK"/><Command/CHECK"/><Command/CHECK"/>.
    Here my program
    XML file
    <ETHERNETKRL>
    <CONFIGURATION>
    <EXTERNAL>
    <IP>172.31.1.50</IP>
    <PORT>55000</PORT>
    </EXTERNAL>
    <INTERNAL>
    <BUFFERING Mode="FIFO" Limit="512" />
    <BUFFSIZE Limit="65534" />
    <ALIVE Set_Flag="993" />
    </INTERNAL>
    </CONFIGURATION>
    <SEND>
    <XML>
    <ELEMENT Type="INT" Tag="Command/CHECK"/>
    </XML>
    </SEND>
    </ETHERNETKRL>

    SRC file
    DEF krl_conv2( )
    INI
    if ($flag[993]==false) then
    ret=eki_init("GTR_COMM1")
    ret=eki_open("GTR_COMM1")
    WAIT for $flag[993]
    endif
    loop
    se=5
    ret=eki_Send("GTR_COMM1","Command/CHECK",se)
    endloop
    END

    Hi,
    the function EKI_Send(CHAR[], CHAR[]) takes two arguments.
    The first one is the configuration file and the second one is what you actually want to send.
    And you can find this part on page 32/33 of the EthernetKRL_22_en.pdf manual:

    Sending the complete XML structure


    o - Saved XML structure for data transmission:
    <Robot>
    <ActPos X="1000.12"></ActPos>
    <Status>12345678</Status>
    </Robot>

    o - Programming:
    DECL EKI_STATUS RET
    RET=EKI_Send("Channel_1","Robot")

    o - Sent XML structure:
    <Robot>
    <ActPos X="1000.12"></ActPos>
    <Status>12345678</Status>
    </Robot>

    Sending part of the XML structure:

    o - Saved XML structure for data transmission (not used in the case of direct
    transmission):
    <Robot>
    <ActPos X="1000.12"></ActPos>
    <Status>12345678</Status>
    </Robot>

    o - Programming:
    DECL EKI_STATUS RET
    RET=EKI_Send("Channel_1","Robot/ActPos")

    o - Sent XML structure:
    <Robot>
    <ActPos X="1000.12"></ActPos>
    </Robot>


    Let me know how it will goes

    Thank apogg, i have already found another way to fix it. I added a code ret=eki_setint("GTR_COMM1","Command/CHECK",INT) before ret=eki_Send("GTR_COMM1","Command/CHECK") and it worked well, but "INT" must be a integer.
