Relay Module

[jeremys]

I ordered a relay module from Amazon to control a projector screen and I’m having issues getting the received data working, I assumed it was something with the AcK but I must be missing something.

The relay has very simple commands:
A11T = Relay 1 Open
A10T = Relay 2 Close
A21T = Relay 2 Open
A20T= Relay 2 Close

Using Hercules when I send A11T the return is OUT1 ON
When I send A10T the return is OUT1 OFF

In V-Control when I sent A11T the Return is OUT1 ON&h0D&h0A

So I assumed the ACK should be 0D0A but when I use OD0A as the AcK in Hex and set the Timeout to 500 I don’t get any Received data back

Anyone have any suggestions? Or a suggestion on a tool that shows the RAW serial data being sent back maybe I’m missing something.

Thank you

Yes, the ACK should be 0D0A, because &h0D is the hex representation of 0D. Are you sure you use 0 (zero) and not O (the letter O)?

Here is a screen shot of the Device Editor, I have 0D0A in the Ack in Hex box

Here is the results of running my script, Received is blank

I think you have to add a CR to the scriptresult

‘
scriptresult = “A”+Relay+State+”T”+chr(13)
‘
or
‘
scriptresult = “A”+Relay+State+”T”+chr(13)+chr(10)
‘

Tried adding chr(13) and chr(13)+chr(10) and still get no Received data back. The rely fires but not getting any feedback.

If I reduce the Timeout value to 1 i get the following: TimeoutOUT1 OFF&h0D&h0A

That is strange. This says that it’s receiving the Acknowledge, but after the Timeout is fired.
Have you tried to increase the timeout to, let’s say 1500?

Another solution could be to leave the Ack In Hex field empty and put a value to Ack Length, let’s say 5.
