This driver is used to transmit IR commands over the network / RS232.
Data points of the component:
Name |
Type |
function |
Debug |
Output |
Error messages are displayed here. The diagnostic information is displayed there, linked to the [Signal] input of the log window. |
Dynamic |
Folder |
This folder contains the created devices. |
Driver On/Off |
Bidirectional |
Turns the driver on or off |
Driver State |
Output |
Returns the driver state. |
In addition to the data points for debug messages, the driver state and the input for (de) activating the driver, a subfolder is created for each available port.
If the port is a serial cable, 2 data points are created. Values that arrive via the data point "Serial data" are sent as they are as a string to the serial interface.
At values received via the alternative data item "Serial data with CR / LF", a CR and / or LF is appended depending on the setting.

In the "Ir-Code Import" editor, learned IR codes (using the Global-Cache iLearn tool - storing in Flex-JSON format) can be imported into the file.
If the port is a serial cable, 2 data points are created. Values that arrive via the data point "Serial data" are sent as they are as a string to the serial interface.
At values received via the alternative data item "Serial data with CR / LF", a CR and / or LF is appended depending on the setting.
If the connection is an IR transmitter, below the folder all imported IR codes are displayed, which can be triggered by means of arbitrary values.
iLearn-Tool and set up the interface:
To set up the interface, connect the device and call the IP address of the device in the browser.

For the connection the "Flex Learner" has to be selected. Then enter the IP address of the module and click on "Connect".
Now the IR signals can be read out.
After successful IR evaluation:
Select the format "Flex JSON (HTTP)" and click "Edit".
Finally, enter a "Button Name" and press "Save". The .txt file is now ready for import into EisBaer.
