Serial Port Program

[Guest]

Hello Friends,

I'm thinking of designing a SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acq.
System). Basically this will help us to automate various things, such as
Panel Operations, Motor/Pump Operations, Electricity Operations.
But I wan't to get to know, how I can program a Serial Port. I'll need to
control parameters such as Voltage and Current. Yes, I do have ActiveX
Controls, but these are just for switching divices ON/OFF. For better
control, I'll need the underlaying coding for Serial Port Programming (VB.Net
Prefer).
Can anyne help me?

I use the Saxcomm third party product , very good and good support. Have
been using it for years from vb4 onwards because the MS product always
used to have problems (and they dropped it for ,net!)

Hi,

You can download DesktopSerialIO from my homepage. It is free, and should
do all that you need. I have a number of examples that might be helpful in
my book, too. See below.
