You will need to send Sysmac Way commands out the computer serial port. The communcation settings for the computer will nedd to match the PLC ie 9600, 7 data, even parity and 2 stop bits. Click on the Link next to the smiley as previously posted. Have a good look at this thread. Then come back with some questions. BTW I have not done a C++ comms handling routine but I have done VB....saying that Jay Anthony posted an excellent demo program. Symac Way demo program Although it is is VB if you know anything about programming then you should be able to translate this to C++. Also get your hands on the following manual Communications Manual and specifiaclly look at the Host Link commands.
